customathens.com

CUSTOMATHENS.COM was registered on March 24, 2015, and is set to expire on March 24, 2016. Its age is about 11 years. The domain is managed by GoDaddy.com LLC (IANA ID 146) and is past its expiry date. It carries protection against transfer, deletion and updates. The registrant is listed in Cayman Islands. It uses the nameservers ns01.cashparking.com and ns02.cashparking.com. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. Domains that are not renewed before their expiry date normally enter a grace and redemption period before they can be registered again. 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. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS 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. 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. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. 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. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. 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. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry.

A long history with few changes usually points to a stable owner, while frequent changes can signal a transfer or a resale.

Snapshots are collected over time, so the gaps between them depend on how often the record was checked.
