softshare.net

According to its WHOIS record, SOFTSHARE.NET was created on November 26, 1997 and expires on November 25, 2023. That makes the domain about 28 years old. It is registered through Safenames Ltd (IANA ID 447) and is past its expiry date. The registrant is listed in Canada. DNS is served by ns2.opntxtdns.com, ns5.opntxtdns.com, ns4.opntxtdns.com and ns1.opntxtdns.com. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. 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. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. 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. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. 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.

Whois Data Center has 9 historical WHOIS snapshots for SOFTSHARE.NET. The most recent capture is from November 29, 2022. These records help track changes in registration details, ownership signals and DNS over time. Historical records are useful for due diligence, brand protection and investigating the background of a website. Buyers often review the history of a domain before purchasing it, to see past owners and registrars. Each snapshot is a dated copy of the public WHOIS record as it looked when it was collected. Investigators use dated records to establish who controlled a domain at a specific point in time. A long history with few changes usually points to a stable owner, while frequent changes can signal a transfer or a resale. Snapshots are collected over time, so the gaps between them depend on how often the record was checked. Comparing snapshots makes it easy to see when the registrar, nameservers or status of a domain changed. The snapshot list below shows every capture we hold, newest first.
