photo2018.net

The domain PHOTO2018.NET was first registered on January 21, 2015 and its current term runs until January 21, 2018. That makes the domain about 11 years old. Its sponsoring registrar is Mesh Digital Limited (IANA ID 1390), and the domain is past its expiry date. Its record is locked against unauthorised transfer, deletion and updates. The registrant is listed in United Kingdom. DNS is served by ns.mainnameserver.com and ns2.mainnameserver.com. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. 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. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations.

Whois Data Center has 6 historical WHOIS snapshots for PHOTO2018.NET. The most recent capture is from July 8, 2017. 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. Security teams use WHOIS history to spot suspicious ownership changes and to link related domains.

From January 22, 2015 to July 8, 2017, 8 fields were updated. The expiry date moved from January 21, 2016 to January 21, 2018, which shows the domain was renewed. The full record, including every stored snapshot, can be downloaded in JSON, XML or CSV.
