OTTERBASE.COM was registered on May 18, 1999, and is set to expire on May 18, 2027. That makes the domain about 27 years old. The domain is managed by Network Solutions LLC (IANA ID 2) and is active. Its record is locked against unauthorised transfer. The registrant is listed in United States. It uses the nameservers nsc1.a2u2.com and nsc2.a2u2.com. 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. 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. 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. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. 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. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. Status flags such as transfer or delete locks are set by the registrar or registry to protect a domain from unauthorised changes.
Whois Data Center has 10 historical WHOIS snapshots for OTTERBASE.COM. The latest available snapshot is dated December 2, 2022. Historical records are useful for due diligence, brand protection and investigating the background of a website. Security teams use WHOIS history to spot suspicious ownership changes and to link related domains. These records help track changes in registration details, ownership signals and DNS over time. Buyers often review the history of a domain before purchasing it, to see past owners and registrars. Each snapshot is a dated copy of the public WHOIS record as it looked when it was collected. Investigators use dated records to establish who controlled a domain at a specific point in time. A long history with few changes usually points to a stable owner, while frequent changes can signal a transfer or a resale.
