nearaway.com

NEARAWAY.COM dates back to November 17, 1999; its registration is valid until November 17, 2034. This gives it about 26 years of history. Network Solutions; LLC (IANA ID 2) manages the name, which is active at the moment. No renewal is needed before 2034. Its nameservers are ns79.worldnic.com and ns80.worldnic.com. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

The record was updated in 32 fields between April 2, 2019 and August 12, 2025. Only the spelling of the registrar name changed ("Network Solutions LLC" to "Network Solutions; LLC"); it is the same registrar. DNS moved from ns1.ihscnet.net and ns2.ihscnet.net to ns79.worldnic.com and ns80.worldnic.com. Status flags were updated: active was added and OK was removed. It was renewed: the expiry date went from November 17, 2020 to November 17, 2034. Each change listed here can be checked against the original snapshots further down the page.

The Whois Data Center archive contains 6 historical WHOIS snapshots for NEARAWAY.COM. The newest snapshot was taken on August 12, 2025. 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. 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. Buyers often review the history of a domain before purchasing it, to see past owners and registrars. 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. The snapshot list below shows every capture we hold, newest first. 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.
