According to its WHOIS record, MERLINCOLOR.COM was created on December 10, 1996 and expires on December 9, 2025. This gives it about 29 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 ns.inmotionhosting.com and ns2.inmotionhosting.com. 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. 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. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. 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. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry.

In the period from October 11, 2020 to August 11, 2025, 11 fields of the record were modified.

The Whois Data Center archive contains 3 historical WHOIS snapshots for MERLINCOLOR.COM. They run from November 1, 2017 to August 11, 2025. That is about 7 years of recorded history. Investigators use dated records to establish who controlled a domain at a specific point in time. A long history with few changes usually points to a stable owner, while frequent changes can signal a transfer or a resale. 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.
