According to its WHOIS record, SOFTONE.TV was created on December 15, 2005 and expires on December 15, 2022. That makes the domain about 20 years old. It is registered through Crazy Domains FZ-LLC (IANA ID 1291) and is past its expiry date. DNS is served by dwsldns01.datajapan.ne.jp and hosting-ws21.windowshosting.jp. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. 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. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. 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. 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. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. The creation date shows when the name was first registered, while the expiry date shows how long the current registration has been paid for. Domains that are not renewed before their expiry date normally enter a grace and redemption period before they can be registered again. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services.
Whois Data Center has 5 historical WHOIS snapshots for SOFTONE.TV. The most recent capture is from June 18, 2022. Buyers often review the history of a domain before purchasing it, to see past owners and registrars. A long history with few changes usually points to a stable owner, while frequent changes can signal a transfer or a resale. Historical records are useful for due diligence, brand protection and investigating the background of a website. Investigators use dated records to establish who controlled a domain at a specific point in time. 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. 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. Each snapshot is a dated copy of the public WHOIS record as it looked when it was collected. The snapshot list below shows every capture we hold, newest first.
In the period from April 4, 2022 to June 18, 2022, 26 fields of the record were modified. The registrar changed from Dreamscape Networks International Pte Ltd to Crazy Domains FZ-LLC. Each change listed here can be checked against the original snapshots further down the page.
