Registered on October 4, 2018, EXISTENTIALRISK.INFO is paid up until October 4, 2027. Its age is about 8 years. MESH DIGITAL LIMITED (IANA ID 1390) is the registrar of record, and the domain is currently active. The registrant is listed in Germany. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. 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. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. 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. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS 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. Status flags such as transfer or delete locks are set by the registrar or registry to protect a domain from unauthorised changes. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services.

We have collected 15 historical WHOIS snapshots for EXISTENTIALRISK.INFO. The newest snapshot was taken on November 3, 2026. Buyers often review the history of a domain before purchasing it, to see past owners and registrars. Historical records are useful for due diligence, brand protection and investigating the background of a website. 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. The snapshot list below shows every capture we hold, newest first. 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. 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.
