The domain PHOENIX-FORUMS.COM was first registered on November 1, 2026 and its current term runs until November 1, 2027. It was registered only 10 days ago, so it is a newly registered domain. Its sponsoring registrar is Atom.com Domains LLC (IANA ID 4547), and the domain is active. The registrant is listed in United States. 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. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. The creation date shows when the name was first registered, while the expiry date shows how long the current registration has been paid for. 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. 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.
Whois Data Center has 14 historical WHOIS snapshots for PHOENIX-FORUMS.COM. The most recent capture is from November 2, 2026. 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. 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. Snapshots are collected over time, so the gaps between them depend on how often the record was checked. Historical records are useful for due diligence, brand protection and investigating the background of a website. 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. The snapshot list below shows every capture we hold, newest first.
