According to its WHOIS record, GARAGEBYTE.COM was created on October 25, 2013 and expires on October 25, 2023. Its age is about 13 years. It is registered through GoDaddy.com LLC (IANA ID 146) and is past its expiry date. It carries protection against transfer, deletion and updates. The registrant is listed in United States. DNS is served by ns34.domaincontrol.com and ns33.domaincontrol.com, which means its DNS is run by GoDaddy. 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. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. 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. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. 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.
We have collected 8 historical WHOIS snapshots for GARAGEBYTE.COM. The most recent capture is from December 10, 2022. Investigators use dated records to establish who controlled a domain at a specific point in time. Each snapshot is a dated copy of the public WHOIS record as it looked when it was collected. 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. Security teams use WHOIS history to spot suspicious ownership changes and to link related domains. Comparing snapshots makes it easy to see when the registrar, nameservers or status of a domain changed.
