The domain DNS-TEST.LINK was first registered on November 13, 2023 and its current term runs until November 13, 2024. Its age is about 2 years. Its sponsoring registrar is DNSPod Inc. (IANA ID 1697), and the domain is past its expiry date. The registrant is listed in China. DNS is served by nice.dnspod.net and karate.dnspod.net. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Status flags such as transfer or delete locks are set by the registrar or registry to protect a domain from unauthorised changes.
We have collected 5 historical WHOIS snapshots for DNS-TEST.LINK. The most recent capture is from November 14, 2023. These records help track changes in registration details, ownership signals and DNS over time. Buyers often review the history of a domain before purchasing it, to see past owners and registrars. Each snapshot is a dated copy of the public WHOIS record as it looked when it was collected. Investigators use dated records to establish who controlled a domain at a specific point in time. 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. Snapshots are collected over time, so the gaps between them depend on how often the record was checked. 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. Security teams use WHOIS history to spot suspicious ownership changes and to link related domains.
