According to its WHOIS record, AZUSA.STORE was created on March 31, 2024 and expires on March 31, 2025. That is around 2 years of continuous registration. It is registered through Go Daddy LLC (IANA ID 146) and is past its expiry date. Status flags block unauthorised transfer and updates. The registrant country on record is United States. DNS is served by ns25.domaincontrol.com and ns26.domaincontrol.com, which means its DNS is run by GoDaddy. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. Renewals are usually made for one to ten years at a time, so an expiry date far in the future shows a long-term commitment to the name. Nameservers decide where a domain's DNS is hosted, so a change of nameservers usually means the website or email moved to a new provider. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services. Status flags such as transfer or delete locks are set by the registrar or registry to protect a domain from unauthorised changes. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. Domains that are not renewed before their expiry date normally enter a grace and redemption period before they can be registered again.
In the period from June 7, 2022 to April 1, 2024, 17 fields of the record were modified. The domain moved from Namecheap to Go Daddy LLC. DNS moved from dns102.registrar-servers.com and dns101.registrar-servers.com to ns25.domaincontrol.com and ns26.domaincontrol.com. Status flags were updated: clientRenewProhibited and clientUpdateProhibited were added and redemptionPeriod and serverHold were removed. It was renewed: the expiry date went from April 22, 2022 to March 31, 2025. The full record, including every stored snapshot, can be downloaded in JSON, XML or CSV.
For AZUSA.STORE, Whois Data Center keeps 6 historical WHOIS snapshots. The most recent capture is from April 1, 2024. Security teams use WHOIS history to spot suspicious ownership changes and to link related domains. Each snapshot is a dated copy of the public WHOIS record as it looked when it was collected. Snapshots are collected over time, so the gaps between them depend on how often the record was checked. These records help track changes in registration details, ownership signals and DNS over time. Investigators use dated records to establish who controlled a domain at a specific point in time.
