NZW.COM dates back to December 10, 1999; its registration is valid until December 10, 2033. This gives it about 26 years of history. TUCOWS.COM, CO. (IANA ID 69) manages the name, which is active at the moment. No renewal is needed before 2033. The owner organisation on record is Get On The Web Limited from United Kingdom. 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. 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. 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. 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. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. 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.

The Whois Data Center archive contains 28 historical WHOIS snapshots for NZW.COM. The newest snapshot was taken on October 31, 2026. Security teams use WHOIS history to spot suspicious ownership changes and to link related domains. A long history with few changes usually points to a stable owner, while frequent changes can signal a transfer or a resale. The snapshot list below shows every capture we hold, newest first. Buyers often review the history of a domain before purchasing it, to see past owners and registrars. 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.
