BILLACR.COM dates back to October 25, 2018; its registration is valid until October 25, 2019. That is around 8 years of continuous registration. ALIBABA.COM SINGAPORE E-COMMERCE PRIVATE LIMITED (IANA ID 3775) manages the name, which is past its expiry date at the moment. Its nameservers are ns6.dnsdun.com and ns6.dnsdun.net. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. Status flags such as transfer or delete locks are set by the registrar or registry to protect a domain from unauthorised changes. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. 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. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. 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. The creation date shows when the name was first registered, while the expiry date shows how long the current registration has been paid for.

For BILLACR.COM, Whois Data Center keeps 6 historical WHOIS snapshots. The newest snapshot was taken on October 26, 2018. Historical records are useful for due diligence, brand protection and investigating the background of a website. Investigators use dated records to establish who controlled a domain at a specific point in time. 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. 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. The snapshot list below shows every capture we hold, newest first.
