mkrk.net

According to its WHOIS record, MKRK.NET was created on June 15, 2011 and expires on June 15, 2023. This gives it about 15 years of history. It is registered through NAMECHEAP INC (IANA ID 1068) and is past its expiry date. Unauthorised transfer are prevented by its status flags. The registrant country on record is Iceland. DNS is served by ns-1340.awsdns-39.org, ns-439.awsdns-54.com, ns-569.awsdns-07.net and ns-1704.awsdns-21.co.uk, which means its DNS is run by Amazon Route 53. 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. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. 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. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. 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. 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 12 historical WHOIS snapshots for MKRK.NET. The most recent capture is from September 28, 2022. Historical records are useful for due diligence, brand protection and investigating the background of a website. 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. Investigators use dated records to establish who controlled a domain at a specific point in time. 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.
