According to its WHOIS record, MYAMREF.MOBI was created on February 22, 2016 and expires on February 22, 2018. This gives it about 10 years of history. It is registered through eNom Inc. (IANA ID 48) and is past its expiry date. The registrant country on record is Kenya. DNS is served by ns1.webserversystems.com and ns2.webserversystems.com. 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. Status flags such as transfer or delete locks are set by the registrar or registry to protect a domain from unauthorised changes. 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. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. 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. Domains that are not renewed before their expiry date normally enter a grace and redemption period before they can be registered again. The creation date shows when the name was first registered, while the expiry date shows how long the current registration has been paid for. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations.

The Whois Data Center archive contains 4 historical WHOIS snapshots for MYAMREF.MOBI. The most recent capture is from August 29, 2017. Investigators use dated records to establish who controlled a domain at a specific point in time. Historical records are useful for due diligence, brand protection and investigating the background of a website. These records help track changes in registration details, ownership signals and DNS over time. Snapshots are collected over time, so the gaps between them depend on how often the record was checked. Security teams use WHOIS history to spot suspicious ownership changes and to link related domains. Each snapshot is a dated copy of the public WHOIS record as it looked when it was collected.
