NANJING.ZONE dates back to July 24, 2018; its registration is valid until July 24, 2020. This gives it about 8 years of history. Chengdu West Dimension Digital Technology Co. Ltd. (IANA ID 1556) manages the name, which is past its expiry date at the moment. The registrant country on record is China. Its nameservers are ns1.myhostadmin.net and ns2.myhostadmin.net. 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. 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. 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. 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.

The record was updated in 10 fields between March 5, 2018 and July 26, 2018. DNS moved from ns1-show.myhostadmin.net and ns2-show.myhostadmin.net to ns1.myhostadmin.net and ns2.myhostadmin.net.

Each change listed here can be checked against the original snapshots further down the page.

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.
