According to its WHOIS record, MYLUG.ORG was created on October 25, 2002 and expires on October 25, 2023. This gives it about 24 years of history. It is registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com (IANA ID 303) and is past its expiry date. Unauthorised transfer are prevented by its status flags. The registrant country on record is India. DNS is served by ns1.dreamhost.com and ns2.dreamhost.com. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. 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. 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. 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. 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. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider.

It was renewed: the expiry date went from October 25, 2022 to October 25, 2023. Scroll down to see the full current record and the complete list of historical snapshots.

The Whois Data Center archive contains 10 historical WHOIS snapshots for MYLUG.ORG. The most recent capture is from December 2, 2022. Historical records are useful for due diligence, brand protection and investigating the background of a website. 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. 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. Security teams use WHOIS history to spot suspicious ownership changes and to link related domains. Comparing snapshots makes it easy to see when the registrar, nameservers or status of a domain changed.
