practicalaction.info

The domain PRACTICALACTION.INFO was first registered on July 5, 2004 and its current term runs until July 5, 2023. That makes the domain about 22 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 ns2.hosteurope.com and ns.hosteurope.com. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. Domains that are not renewed before their expiry date normally enter a grace and redemption period before they can be registered again. The creation date shows when the name was first registered, while the expiry date shows how long the current registration has been paid for. 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. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today.

Whois Data Center has 7 historical WHOIS snapshots for PRACTICALACTION.INFO. The most recent capture is from August 20, 2022. 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. Security teams use WHOIS history to spot suspicious ownership changes and to link related domains.
