NASCARMODEL.NET dates back to February 14, 2011; its registration is valid until February 14, 2017. This gives it about 15 years of history. GoDaddy.com LLC (IANA ID 146) manages the name, which is past its expiry date at the moment. Unauthorised transfer, deletion and updates are prevented by its status flags. The registrant country on record is United States. Its nameservers are ns67.domaincontrol.com and ns68.domaincontrol.com, hosted with GoDaddy. 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. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. 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. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. 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. 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 NASCARMODEL.NET. The newest snapshot was taken on October 17, 2016. Comparing snapshots makes it easy to see when the registrar, nameservers or status of a domain changed. 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. 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.
