nickgammon.net

NICKGAMMON.NET dates back to November 24, 2011; its registration is valid until November 24, 2026. This gives it about 14 years of history. ENOM, INC. (IANA ID 48) manages the name, which is active at the moment. Just 10 days are left before expiry, so renewal is due shortly. The registrant country on record is Netherlands. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. 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. 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. 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. Status flags such as transfer or delete locks are set by the registrar or registry to protect a domain from unauthorised changes. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. 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. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name.

The record was updated in 35 fields between November 26, 2022 and November 3, 2026. Only the spelling of the registrar name changed ("ENOM INC." to "ENOM, INC."); it is the same registrar. Status flags were updated: renewPeriod and ok were removed. It was renewed: the expiry date went from November 24, 2024 to November 24, 2026. Each change listed here can be checked against the original snapshots further down the page.

The Whois Data Center archive contains 12 historical WHOIS snapshots for NICKGAMMON.NET. The newest snapshot was taken on November 3, 2026. 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. Snapshots are collected over time, so the gaps between them depend on how often the record was checked. These records help track changes in registration details, ownership signals and DNS over time. Historical records are useful for due diligence, brand protection and investigating the background of a website. Comparing snapshots makes it easy to see when the registrar, nameservers or status of a domain changed. Investigators use dated records to establish who controlled a domain at a specific point in time. The snapshot list below shows every capture we hold, newest first.
