According to its WHOIS record, SPANGLES.ORG.UK was created on August 22, 2002 and expires on August 22, 2023. That makes the domain about 24 years old. It is registered through Easily Limited t/a easily.co.uk [Tag = WEBCONSULTANCY] and is past its expiry date. DNS is served by ns1.meganameservers.eu, ns3.meganameservers.eu and ns2.meganameservers.eu. 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. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. 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. 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. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry.

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.
