The domain PICTUREJOURNAL.NET was first registered on October 16, 2004 and its current term runs until October 16, 2020. That makes the domain about 22 years old. Its sponsoring registrar is ENOM INC. (IANA ID 48), and the domain is past its expiry date. Its record is locked against unauthorised transfer. The registrant is listed in UNITED STATES. DNS is served by ns1.kitepilotsolutions.com, ns2.kitepilotsolutions.com, ns0.kitepilotsolutions.com and ns.kitepilotsolutions.com. 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. 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. 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.
Whois Data Center has 7 historical WHOIS snapshots for PICTUREJOURNAL.NET. The most recent capture is from April 3, 2020. A long history with few changes usually points to a stable owner, while frequent changes can signal a transfer or a resale. Investigators use dated records to establish who controlled a domain at a specific point in time. Comparing snapshots makes it easy to see when the registrar, nameservers or status of a domain changed. Snapshots are collected over time, so the gaps between them depend on how often the record was checked. The snapshot list below shows every capture we hold, newest first. These records help track changes in registration details, ownership signals and DNS over time. Security teams use WHOIS history to spot suspicious ownership changes and to link related domains. Historical records are useful for due diligence, brand protection and investigating the background of a website.
