the501.net

THE501.NET dates back to May 26, 2003; its registration is valid until November 8, 2027. That makes the domain about 23 years old. ENOM, INC. (IANA ID 48) manages the name, which is active at the moment. The registrant is listed in Canada. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. 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. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. 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. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks.

Whois Data Center has 8 historical WHOIS snapshots for THE501.NET. The newest snapshot was taken on November 2, 2026. Historical records are useful for due diligence, brand protection and investigating the background of a website. These records help track changes in registration details, ownership signals and DNS over time. 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. Snapshots are collected over time, so the gaps between them depend on how often the record was checked.

The record was updated in 32 fields between October 24, 2022 and November 2, 2026. The registrar name was reformatted from "ENOM INC." to "ENOM, INC.", which is the same registrar. Status flags were updated: clientTransferProhibited was removed. The expiry date moved from November 8, 2025 to November 8, 2027, which shows the domain was renewed.
