bm5k2.icu

BM5K2.ICU dates back to November 14, 2019; its registration is valid until November 14, 2021. That is around 7 years of continuous registration. Alibaba Cloud Computing Ltd. d/b/a HiChina (www.net.cn) (IANA ID 1599) manages the name, which is past its expiry date at the moment. The registrant country on record is China. Its nameservers are expirens3.hichina.com and expirens4.hichina.com. 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. Domains that are not renewed before their expiry date normally enter a grace and redemption period before they can be registered again. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. 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. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. 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. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. 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.

The record was updated in 6 fields between August 31, 2020 and December 12, 2020. DNS moved from dns17.hichina.com and dns18.hichina.com to expirens3.hichina.com and expirens4.hichina.com.

For BM5K2.ICU, Whois Data Center keeps 4 historical WHOIS snapshots. The newest snapshot was taken on December 12, 2020. Historical records are useful for due diligence, brand protection and investigating the background of a website. Each snapshot is a dated copy of the public WHOIS record as it looked when it was collected. 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. Investigators use dated records to establish who controlled a domain at a specific point in time. Comparing snapshots makes it easy to see when the registrar, nameservers or status of a domain changed. Snapshots are collected over time, so the gaps between them depend on how often the record was checked. The snapshot list below shows every capture we hold, newest first.
