NIUWANGCAI.COM dates back to October 23, 2015; its registration is valid until October 23, 2017. This gives it about 11 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 nameserver is show.myhostadmin.net. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. 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. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. 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. 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. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry.
The record was updated in 31 fields between October 24, 2015 and August 8, 2017. DNS moved from ns3.myhostadmin.net and ns4.myhostadmin.net to show.myhostadmin.net. It was renewed: the expiry date went from October 23, 2016 to October 23, 2017. Each change listed here can be checked against the original snapshots further down the page.
The Whois Data Center archive contains 5 historical WHOIS snapshots for NIUWANGCAI.COM. The newest snapshot was taken on August 8, 2017. Comparing snapshots makes it easy to see when the registrar, nameservers or status of a domain changed. These records help track changes in registration details, ownership signals and DNS over time. Security teams use WHOIS history to spot suspicious ownership changes and to link related domains. 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. 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.
