Registered on January 23, 2013, KBUFCARD.COM is paid up until January 23, 2014. This gives it about 13 years of history. BEIJING INNOVATIVE LINKAGE TECHNOLOGY LTD. DBA DNS.COM.CN (IANA ID 633) is the registrar of record, and the domain is currently past its expiry date. The registrant country on record is CHINA. Its nameservers are ns1.parkinghelp.net and ns2.parkinghelp.net. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS 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. 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. 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. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself.

The Whois Data Center archive contains 3 historical WHOIS snapshots for KBUFCARD.COM. The newest snapshot was taken on March 30, 2014.

Comparing snapshots makes it easy to see when the registrar, nameservers or status of a domain changed. 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. Historical records are useful for due diligence, brand protection and investigating the background of a website.
