sandcastleswest.com

According to its WHOIS record, SANDCASTLESWEST.COM was created on October 30, 2001 and expires on October 31, 2027. That makes the domain about 25 years old. It is registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com (IANA ID 303) and is active. The registrant is listed in United States. The creation date shows when the name was first registered, while the expiry date shows how long the current registration has been paid for. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. 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. 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. 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. 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. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. 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. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services.

Buyers often review the history of a domain before purchasing it, to see past owners and registrars. Historical records are useful for due diligence, brand protection and investigating the background of a website. 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. The snapshot list below shows every capture we hold, newest first. 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. 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.
