According to its WHOIS record, MOONSHINE.NET was created on January 14, 2000 and expires on January 14, 2027. This gives it about 26 years of history. It is registered through 123-Reg Limited (IANA ID 1515) and is active. It expires in 61 days and must be renewed soon to avoid losing it. The owner organisation on record is Domains By Proxy, LLC from United States. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS 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. 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. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. 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. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. 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.

Status flags were updated: clientTransferProhibited, clientDeleteProhibited and clientUpdateProhibited were removed. The registrant organisation became visible in the public record. It was renewed: the expiry date went from January 14, 2023 to January 14, 2027. Scroll down to see the full current record and the complete list of historical snapshots.

The Whois Data Center archive contains 20 historical WHOIS snapshots for MOONSHINE.NET. The most recent capture is from January 16, 2026. Snapshots are collected over time, so the gaps between them depend on how often the record was checked. 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. Each snapshot is a dated copy of the public WHOIS record as it looked when it was collected. These records help track changes in registration details, ownership signals and DNS over time.
