According to its WHOIS record, SHANGDOO.NET was created on December 16, 2017 and expires on December 16, 2018. That makes the domain about 8 years old. It is registered through Shanghai Meicheng Technology Information Co. Ltd (IANA ID 1621) and is past its expiry date. The registrant is listed in China. DNS is served by v1.dnsdun.com and v1.dnsdun.net. 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. 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. 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. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations.
Whois Data Center has 4 historical WHOIS snapshots for SHANGDOO.NET. The most recent capture is from December 17, 2017. 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. 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. Investigators use dated records to establish who controlled a domain at a specific point in time. 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. Snapshots are collected over time, so the gaps between them depend on how often the record was checked. Security teams use WHOIS history to spot suspicious ownership changes and to link related domains. Each snapshot is a dated copy of the public WHOIS record as it looked when it was collected.
In the period from September 30, 2016 to December 17, 2017, 45 fields of the record were modified. The nameservers moved from ns25.domaincontrol.com and ns26.domaincontrol.com to v1.dnsdun.com and v1.dnsdun.net. Status flags were updated: OK was added and clientDeleteProhibited, clientRenewProhibited, clientTransferProhibited and clientUpdateProhibited were removed. The expiry date moved from September 27, 2017 to December 16, 2018, which shows the domain was renewed. Each change listed here can be checked against the original snapshots further down the page.
