FINDTHATNUMBER.COM has existed since June 14, 2006, with the present registration ending on June 14, 2023. Its age is about 20 years. The registration is held with GoDaddy.com LLC (IANA ID 146); its status is past its expiry date. It carries protection against transfer, deletion and updates. It uses the nameservers yns2.yahoo.com and yns1.yahoo.com. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

We have collected 11 historical WHOIS snapshots for FINDTHATNUMBER.COM. The latest available snapshot is dated December 8, 2022.

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.
