searchgate.com

According to its WHOIS record, SEARCHGATE.COM was created on April 28, 2002 and expires on April 28, 2027. That makes the domain about 24 years old. It is registered through Megazone Corp., dba HOSTING.KR (IANA ID 1489) and is active. The public WHOIS shows the registrant organisation as kim, based in Korea, Republic Of. 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. 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. The creation date shows when the name was first registered, while the expiry date shows how long the current registration has been paid for. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. 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. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. 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 18 historical WHOIS snapshots for SEARCHGATE.COM. The most recent capture is from June 8, 2026. 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. 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. 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.

In the period from May 1, 2026 to June 8, 2026, 6 fields of the record were modified. Each change listed here can be checked against the original snapshots further down the page.
