According to its WHOIS record, STARTUPGRID.ORG was created on March 5, 2026 and expires on March 5, 2027. It is registered through NAMECHEAP INC (IANA ID 1068) and is active. Its record is locked against unauthorised transfer. The registrant is listed in Iceland. DNS is served by dns1.registrar-servers.com and dns2.registrar-servers.com, which means its DNS is run by Namecheap. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. 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. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. Status flags such as transfer or delete locks are set by the registrar or registry to protect a domain from unauthorised changes. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. 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. 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. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks.
Whois Data Center has 7 historical WHOIS snapshots for STARTUPGRID.ORG. The most recent capture is from March 7, 2026. Buyers often review the history of a domain before purchasing it, to see past owners and registrars. Each snapshot is a dated copy of the public WHOIS record as it looked when it was collected. Security teams use WHOIS history to spot suspicious ownership changes and to link related domains. 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. 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. The snapshot list below shows every capture we hold, newest first. Investigators use dated records to establish who controlled a domain at a specific point in time.
