FRANK-YI.COM has existed since May 31, 2017, with the present registration ending on May 31, 2018. Its age is about 9 years. The registration is held with ALIBABA.COM SINGAPORE E-COMMERCE PRIVATE LIMITED (IANA ID 3775); its status is past its expiry date. The registrant is listed in United States. It uses the nameservers vip1.alidns.com and vip2.alidns.com. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services. 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. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. 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. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. 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. The creation date shows when the name was first registered, while the expiry date shows how long the current registration has been paid for.
We have collected 4 historical WHOIS snapshots for FRANK-YI.COM. The latest available snapshot is dated February 9, 2018. 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. 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. Investigators use dated records to establish who controlled a domain at a specific point in time. 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.
