According to its WHOIS record, SOPHONG.COM was created on December 17, 2014 and expires on December 17, 2015. That makes the domain about 11 years old. It is registered through GoDaddy.com LLC (IANA ID 146) and is past its expiry date. Its record is locked against unauthorised transfer, deletion and updates. The registrant is listed in Singapore. DNS is served by ns11.domaincontrol.com and ns12.domaincontrol.com, which means its DNS is run by GoDaddy. 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. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name. 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.
Whois Data Center has 2 historical WHOIS snapshots for SOPHONG.COM. The most recent capture is from December 18, 2014. Buyers often review the history of a domain before purchasing it, to see past owners and registrars. 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. Security teams use WHOIS history to spot suspicious ownership changes and to link related domains. 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. 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.
33 fields changed between the two most recent snapshots. The registrar name was reformatted from "GODADDY.COM LLC" to "GoDaddy.com LLC", which is the same registrar. Status flags were updated: clientDeleteProhibited, clientRenewProhibited, clientTransferProhibited and clientUpdateProhibited were added. Each change listed here can be checked against the original snapshots further down the page.
