According to its WHOIS record, MAPPEN.ORG was created on July 10, 2003 and expires on July 10, 2023. This gives it about 23 years of history. It is registered through united-domains AG (IANA ID 1408) and is past its expiry date. Unauthorised transfer are prevented by its status flags. The registrant country on record is Germany. DNS is served by ns1.sedoparking.com and ns2.sedoparking.com. 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. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. 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. The creation date shows when the name was first registered, while the expiry date shows how long the current registration has been paid for. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. Domains that are not renewed before their expiry date normally enter a grace and redemption period before they can be registered again. 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. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider.

Nothing changed between the two most recent snapshots, so the record looks stable. Scroll down to see the full current record and the complete list of historical snapshots.

The Whois Data Center archive contains 14 historical WHOIS snapshots for MAPPEN.ORG. The most recent capture is from November 12, 2022. 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. Historical records are useful for due diligence, brand protection and investigating the background of a website. Investigators use dated records to establish who controlled a domain at a specific point in time. These records help track changes in registration details, ownership signals and DNS over time. The snapshot list below shows every capture we hold, newest first. Buyers often review the history of a domain before purchasing it, to see past owners and registrars.
