The domain DEV-MSFTDOMAINS.COM was first registered on May 14, 2024 and its current term runs until May 14, 2027. Its age is about 2 years. Its sponsoring registrar is MarkMonitor; Inc. (IANA ID 292), and the domain is active. It carries protection against transfer, deletion and updates. Public WHOIS names Microsoft Corporation as the registrant organisation, with United States as the country. DNS is served by ns3-37.azure-dns.org, ns1-37.azure-dns.com, ns4-37.azure-dns.info and ns2-37.azure-dns.net, hosted with Microsoft Azure. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services. 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. 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. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details.
We have collected 3 historical WHOIS snapshots for DEV-MSFTDOMAINS.COM. They run from May 15, 2024 to May 13, 2026. Together they cover about 1 years of registration history. 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. The snapshot list below shows every capture we hold, newest first. 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. Historical records are useful for due diligence, brand protection and investigating the background of a website. Snapshots are collected over time, so the gaps between them depend on how often the record was checked. These records help track changes in registration details, ownership signals and DNS over time. Security teams use WHOIS history to spot suspicious ownership changes and to link related domains.
