opensaml.net

OPENSAML.NET was registered on January 19, 2004, and is set to expire on January 19, 2025. That makes the domain about 22 years old. The domain is managed by GoDaddy.com LLC (IANA ID 146) and is past its expiry date. Its record is locked against unauthorised transfer, deletion and updates. The registrant is listed in United States. It uses the nameservers ns10.domaincontrol.com and ns09.domaincontrol.com, which means its DNS is run by GoDaddy. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. Status flags such as transfer or delete locks are set by the registrar or registry to protect a domain from unauthorised changes. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. 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. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. 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. The creation date shows when the name was first registered, while the expiry date shows how long the current registration has been paid for. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. Domains that are not renewed before their expiry date normally enter a grace and redemption period before they can be registered again. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself.

Whois Data Center has 8 historical WHOIS snapshots for OPENSAML.NET. The latest available snapshot is dated March 5, 2023. 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. 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. 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. 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.

Between October 13, 2022 and March 5, 2023, 5 fields of the record changed. The expiry date moved from January 19, 2023 to January 19, 2025, which shows the domain was renewed. Use the history below to compare any two snapshots or download the complete record.
