patio16.net

The domain PATIO16.NET was first registered on September 8, 2014 and its current term runs until September 8, 2027. That makes the domain about 12 years old. Its sponsoring registrar is ENOM, INC. (IANA ID 48), and the domain is active. The registrant is listed in United States. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. 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. 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.

Whois Data Center has 11 historical WHOIS snapshots for PATIO16.NET. The most recent capture is from November 1, 2026. Snapshots are collected over time, so the gaps between them depend on how often the record was checked. 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. A long history with few changes usually points to a stable owner, while frequent changes can signal a transfer or a resale. 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. Historical records are useful for due diligence, brand protection and investigating the background of a website.

From September 25, 2022 to November 1, 2026, 34 fields were updated. The registrar name was reformatted from "ENOM INC." to "ENOM, INC.", which is the same registrar.
