bcp38.net

BCP38.NET dates back to March 27, 2013; its registration is valid until March 27, 2027. That is around 13 years of continuous registration. ENOM, INC. (IANA ID 48) manages the name, which is active at the moment. The registrant country on record is Canada. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. The creation date shows when the name was first registered, while the expiry date shows how long the current registration has been paid for. Domains that are not renewed before their expiry date normally enter a grace and redemption period before they can be registered again. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. 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. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details.

Comparing snapshots makes it easy to see when the registrar, nameservers or status of a domain changed.

Buyers often review the history of a domain before purchasing it, to see past owners and registrars. A long history with few changes usually points to a stable owner, while frequent changes can signal a transfer or a resale. 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.
