HONGKY.ORG dates back to April 18, 2023; its registration is valid until April 18, 2024. Its age is about 3 years. Gandi SAS (IANA ID 81) manages the name, which is past its expiry date at the moment. It carries protection against transfer. The registrant is listed in Taiwan. Its nameservers are b.g-dns.com, c.g-dns.com and a.g-dns.com. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. 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. 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. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. 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. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. 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 6 historical WHOIS snapshots for HONGKY.ORG. The newest snapshot was taken on April 19, 2023. 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. 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.
