According to its WHOIS record, MICHAELFINLEYFOUNDATION.ORG was created on December 2, 2014 and expires on December 2, 2027. This gives it about 11 years of history. It is registered through TUCOWS.COM, CO. (IANA ID 69) and is active. The registrant country on record is United States. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Domains that are not renewed before their expiry date normally enter a grace and redemption period before they can be registered again.
In the period from January 17, 2023 to November 3, 2026, 33 fields of the record were modified. The domain moved from Network Solutions LLC to TUCOWS.COM, CO.. Status flags were updated: clientTransferProhibited was removed. It was renewed: the expiry date went from December 2, 2023 to December 2, 2027.

The Whois Data Center archive contains 12 historical WHOIS snapshots for MICHAELFINLEYFOUNDATION.ORG. The most recent capture is from November 3, 2026. Buyers often review the history of a domain before purchasing it, to see past owners and registrars. These records help track changes in registration details, ownership signals and DNS over time. Security teams use WHOIS history to spot suspicious ownership changes and to link related domains. Historical records are useful for due diligence, brand protection and investigating the background of a website. Comparing snapshots makes it easy to see when the registrar, nameservers or status of a domain changed. Snapshots are collected over time, so the gaps between them depend on how often the record was checked. The snapshot list below shows every capture we hold, newest first. A long history with few changes usually points to a stable owner, while frequent changes can signal a transfer or a resale.
