Registered on June 18, 2016, KS8.PUB is paid up until June 18, 2026. This gives it about 10 years of history. Alibaba Cloud Computing Ltd. d/b/a HiChina (www.net.cn) (IANA ID 1599) is the registrar of record, and the domain is currently past its expiry date. The registrant country on record is China. Its nameservers are alina.ns.cloudflare.com and jason.ns.cloudflare.com, which means its DNS is run by Cloudflare. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services. 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. 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. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations.

The Whois Data Center archive contains 10 historical WHOIS snapshots for KS8.PUB. The newest snapshot was taken on November 15, 2022. Buyers often review the history of a domain before purchasing it, to see past owners and registrars. Comparing snapshots makes it easy to see when the registrar, nameservers or status of a domain changed. The snapshot list below shows every capture we hold, newest first. Security teams use WHOIS history to spot suspicious ownership changes and to link related domains. 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. 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.
