Registered on September 30, 2008, K4488.COM is paid up until September 30, 2023. This gives it about 18 years of history. Gname.com Pte. Ltd. (IANA ID 1923) is the registrar of record, and the domain is currently past its expiry date. Unauthorised transfer are prevented by its status flags. The registrant country on record is China. Its nameservers are ns2.4.cn and ns1.4.cn. 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. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. 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. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. 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. 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.

The Whois Data Center archive contains 11 historical WHOIS snapshots for K4488.COM. The newest snapshot was taken on November 22, 2022. 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. Historical records are useful for due diligence, brand protection and investigating the background of a website. Buyers often review the history of a domain before purchasing it, to see past owners and registrars. Each snapshot is a dated copy of the public WHOIS record as it looked when it was collected. 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. 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.
