sphconference.com

According to its WHOIS record, SPHCONFERENCE.COM was created on July 7, 2010 and expires on July 7, 2018. That makes the domain about 16 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 UNITED STATES. DNS is served by ns1.cnchost.com and ns2.cnchost.com. 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. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. 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. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. 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 3 historical WHOIS snapshots for SPHCONFERENCE.COM. The most recent capture is from March 5, 2014. 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. Security teams use WHOIS history to spot suspicious ownership changes and to link related domains.

29 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.
