THEBEST.BUILD dates back to October 31, 2014; its registration is valid until October 31, 2016. That makes the domain about 12 years old. GoDaddy.com LLC (IANA ID 146) manages the name, which is past its expiry date at the moment. Its record is locked against unauthorised transfer, deletion and updates. The registrant is listed in United States. Its nameservers are ns03.domaincontrol.com and ns04.domaincontrol.com, hosted with GoDaddy. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. 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. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. 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. 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. 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. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today.
Whois Data Center has 4 historical WHOIS snapshots for THEBEST.BUILD. The newest snapshot was taken on May 12, 2016. Comparing snapshots makes it easy to see when the registrar, nameservers or status of a domain changed. Security teams use WHOIS history to spot suspicious ownership changes and to link related domains. A long history with few changes usually points to a stable owner, while frequent changes can signal a transfer or a resale. Snapshots are collected over time, so the gaps between them depend on how often the record was checked. Each snapshot is a dated copy of the public WHOIS record as it looked when it was collected.
The record was updated in 6 fields between November 1, 2014 and May 12, 2016. Status flags were updated: clientUpdateProhibited was added and addPeriod was removed.
