According to its WHOIS record, MATSAS.ORG was created on August 22, 2000 and expires on August 22, 2018. This gives it about 26 years of history. It is registered through Network Solutions LLC (IANA ID 2) and is past its expiry date. Unauthorised transfer are prevented by its status flags. The registrant country on record is United States. DNS is served by europa.gw.com, ganymede.gw.com, grendel.gw.com and io.gw.com. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. Status flags such as transfer or delete locks are set by the registrar or registry to protect a domain from unauthorised changes. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name. 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. Domains that are not renewed before their expiry date normally enter a grace and redemption period before they can be registered again. The creation date shows when the name was first registered, while the expiry date shows how long the current registration has been paid for. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself.
In the period from October 23, 2016 to December 9, 2017, 2 fields of the record were modified. Scroll down to see the full current record and the complete list of historical snapshots.
The Whois Data Center archive contains 5 historical WHOIS snapshots for MATSAS.ORG. The most recent capture is from December 9, 2017. Comparing snapshots makes it easy to see when the registrar, nameservers or status of a domain changed. A long history with few changes usually points to a stable owner, while frequent changes can signal a transfer or a resale. Security teams use WHOIS history to spot suspicious ownership changes and to link related domains. Each snapshot is a dated copy of the public WHOIS record as it looked when it was collected. Snapshots are collected over time, so the gaps between them depend on how often the record was checked. 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. The snapshot list below shows every capture we hold, newest first.
