According to its WHOIS record, SPHARPER.COM was created on July 19, 2014 and expires on July 19, 2028. That makes the domain about 12 years old. It is registered through Network Solutions LLC (IANA ID 2) and is active. Its record is locked against unauthorised transfer. The registrant is listed in United States. DNS is served by ns81.worldnic.com and ns82.worldnic.com. 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. 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. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. 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. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. 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. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. 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.
Whois Data Center has 7 historical WHOIS snapshots for SPHARPER.COM. The most recent capture is from January 14, 2019. The snapshot list below shows every capture we hold, newest first. 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. Historical records are useful for due diligence, brand protection and investigating the background of a website. 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. 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. 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.
