According to its WHOIS record, MSDICT.COM was created on November 2, 2002 and expires on November 2, 2024. This gives it about 24 years of history. It is registered through Domain.com LLC and is past its expiry date. The registrant country on record is United States. DNS is served by lisa.ns.cloudflare.com and matt.ns.cloudflare.com, which means its DNS is run by Cloudflare. 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. 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. 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. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry.

The Whois Data Center archive contains 10 historical WHOIS snapshots for MSDICT.COM. The most recent capture is from December 24, 2022. 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. Historical records are useful for due diligence, brand protection and investigating the background of a website. Security teams use WHOIS history to spot suspicious ownership changes and to link related domains.
