BOWLINGRETROSHIRTS.COM dates back to December 9, 2006; its registration is valid until December 9, 2016. That is around 19 years of continuous registration. Wild West Domains LLC (IANA ID 440) manages the name, which is past its expiry date at the moment. Status flags block unauthorised transfer, deletion and updates. The registrant country on record is United States. Its nameservers are ns27.domaincontrol.com and ns28.domaincontrol.com, hosted with GoDaddy. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. 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. 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. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. 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. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details.

For BOWLINGRETROSHIRTS.COM, Whois Data Center keeps 5 historical WHOIS snapshots. The newest snapshot was taken on July 5, 2016. Snapshots are collected over time, so the gaps between them depend on how often the record was checked. Historical records are useful for due diligence, brand protection and investigating the background of a website. Security teams use WHOIS history to spot suspicious ownership changes and to link related domains. Comparing snapshots makes it easy to see when the registrar, nameservers or status of a domain changed. 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. 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.
