According to its WHOIS record, AZX.COM was created on August 18, 2002 and expires on August 18, 2024. That is around 24 years of continuous registration. It is registered through Alibaba Cloud Computing Ltd. d/b/a HiChina (www.net.cn) (IANA ID 1599) and is past its expiry date. DNS is served by ns1.alidns.com and ns2.alidns.com. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. Status flags such as transfer or delete locks are set by the registrar or registry to protect a domain from unauthorised changes. 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. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. 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. Domains that are not renewed before their expiry date normally enter a grace and redemption period before they can be registered again. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. The creation date shows when the name was first registered, while the expiry date shows how long the current registration has been paid for. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name.
In the period from August 31, 2022 to November 26, 2022, 2 fields of the record were modified. The same nameservers stayed in place, only their order changed. The full record, including every stored snapshot, can be downloaded in JSON, XML or CSV.
For AZX.COM, Whois Data Center keeps 29 historical WHOIS snapshots. The most recent capture is from November 26, 2022. Buyers often review the history of a domain before purchasing it, to see past owners and registrars. The snapshot list below shows every capture we hold, newest first. Comparing snapshots makes it easy to see when the registrar, nameservers or status of a domain changed. Investigators use dated records to establish who controlled a domain at a specific point in time. Historical records are useful for due diligence, brand protection and investigating the background of a website. These records help track changes in registration details, ownership signals and DNS over time. Snapshots are collected over time, so the gaps between them depend on how often the record was checked. 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.
