According to its WHOIS record, MERGEBY.COM was created on March 29, 2008 and expires on March 29, 2026. This gives it about 18 years of history. It is registered through IONOS SE (IANA ID 83) and is past its expiry date. DNS is served by ns1111.ui-dns.biz, ns1111.ui-dns.com, ns1111.ui-dns.de and ns1111.ui-dns.org. 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. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. 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. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. 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. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry.

In the period from November 1, 2017 to October 1, 2025, 40 fields of the record were modified. The domain moved from 1&1 Internet AG to IONOS SE.

The Whois Data Center archive contains 3 historical WHOIS snapshots for MERGEBY.COM. They run from March 1, 2014 to October 1, 2025. That is about 11 years of recorded history. 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. Buyers often review the history of a domain before purchasing it, to see past owners and registrars. A long history with few changes usually points to a stable owner, while frequent changes can signal a transfer or a resale. The snapshot list below shows every capture we hold, newest first. Investigators use dated records to establish who controlled a domain at a specific point in time.
