Registered on October 29, 2013, KXEF.COM is paid up until October 29, 2023. This gives it about 13 years of history. GoDaddy.com LLC (IANA ID 146) is the registrar of record, and the domain is currently past its expiry date. Unauthorised transfer, deletion and updates are prevented by its status flags. Its nameservers are ns1.alidns.com and ns2.alidns.com. Status flags such as transfer or delete locks are set by the registrar or registry to protect a domain from unauthorised changes. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. 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. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. 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. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. 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. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks.

The Whois Data Center archive contains 14 historical WHOIS snapshots for KXEF.COM. The newest snapshot was taken on November 24, 2022. 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. 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. 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. The snapshot list below shows every capture we hold, newest first.
