The domain PHILIPS-SCIENTIFIC.COM was first registered on April 17, 2001 and its current term runs until April 17, 2027. That makes the domain about 25 years old. Its sponsoring registrar is CSC Corporate Domains, Inc. (IANA ID 299), and the domain is active. The public WHOIS shows the registrant organisation as Koninklijke Philips N.V, based in Netherlands. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name. 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. 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. 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. 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. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider.
Whois Data Center has 10 historical WHOIS snapshots for PHILIPS-SCIENTIFIC.COM. The most recent capture is from October 31, 2026. 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. 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.
