According to its WHOIS record, STUDENTLOANFORGIVENESSGUIDE.ORG was created on January 7, 2014 and expires on January 7, 2024. That makes the domain about 12 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 ns06.domaincontrol.com and ns05.domaincontrol.com, which means its DNS is run by GoDaddy. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. 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. 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. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. 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.
Whois Data Center has 11 historical WHOIS snapshots for STUDENTLOANFORGIVENESSGUIDE.ORG. The most recent capture is from February 22, 2023. Buyers often review the history of a domain before purchasing it, to see past owners and registrars. Comparing snapshots makes it easy to see when the registrar, nameservers or status of a domain changed. Historical records are useful for due diligence, brand protection and investigating the background of a website. Investigators use dated records to establish who controlled a domain at a specific point in time. These records help track changes in registration details, ownership signals and DNS over time. Snapshots are collected over time, so the gaps between them depend on how often the record was checked.
