ICOTIMES.NET was registered on June 11, 2017, and is set to expire on June 11, 2020. This gives it about 9 years of history. The domain is managed by eName Technology Co.Ltd. (IANA ID 1331) and is past its expiry date. Unauthorised transfer and deletion are prevented by its status flags. The registrant country on record is CHINA. It uses the nameservers dns3.dns.com and dns4.dns.com. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. 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. 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. Domains that are not renewed before their expiry date normally enter a grace and redemption period before they can be registered again. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks.
Between February 9, 2018 and April 3, 2020, 35 fields of the record changed. Only the spelling of the registrar name changed ("eName Technology Co. Ltd." to "eName Technology Co.Ltd."); it is the same registrar. It was renewed: the expiry date went from June 11, 2018 to June 11, 2020.

The Whois Data Center archive contains 6 historical WHOIS snapshots for ICOTIMES.NET. The latest available snapshot is dated April 3, 2020. 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. Snapshots are collected over time, so the gaps between them depend on how often the record was checked. 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.
