sydney.net

According to its WHOIS record, SYDNEY.NET was created on November 27, 1995 and expires on November 26, 2023. That makes the domain about 30 years old. It is registered through Synergy Wholesale (IANA ID 1609) and is past its expiry date. The registrant is listed in Australia. DNS is served by ns05.atu.net.au and ns04.atu.net.au. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. 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. 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. 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. 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.

Investigators use dated records to establish who controlled a domain at a specific point in time. Each snapshot is a dated copy of the public WHOIS record as it looked when it was collected.
