stackexchange.com

According to its WHOIS record, STACKEXCHANGE.COM was created on June 12, 2009 and expires on June 12, 2027. That makes the domain about 17 years old. It is registered through CSC Corporate Domains, Inc. (IANA ID 299) and is active. The public WHOIS shows the registrant organisation as Stack Exchange, Inc, based in United States. The creation date shows when the name was first registered, while the expiry date shows how long the current registration has been paid for. 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. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name. 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. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks.
