schmetzneedle.net

According to its WHOIS record, SCHMETZNEEDLE.NET was created on June 16, 2010 and expires on June 16, 2023. That makes the domain about 16 years old. It is registered through FastDomain Inc. (IANA ID 1154) and is past its expiry date. Its record is locked against unauthorised transfer. The registrant is listed in United States. DNS is served by ns2.hostmonster.com and ns1.hostmonster.com. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. Status flags such as transfer or delete locks are set by the registrar or registry to protect a domain from unauthorised changes. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider.

Whois Data Center has 11 historical WHOIS snapshots for SCHMETZNEEDLE.NET. The most recent capture is from September 17, 2022. 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. A long history with few changes usually points to a stable owner, while frequent changes can signal a transfer or a resale. Security teams use WHOIS history to spot suspicious ownership changes and to link related domains.

Nothing changed between the two most recent snapshots, so the record looks stable. Each change listed here can be checked against the original snapshots further down the page.
