theoldsite.net

THEOLDSITE.NET dates back to October 10, 2013; its registration is valid until October 10, 2025. That makes the domain about 13 years old. 123-Reg Limited (IANA ID 1515) 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 Kingdom. Its nameservers are ns57.domaincontrol.com and ns58.domaincontrol.com, hosted with GoDaddy. The creation date shows when the name was first registered, while the expiry date shows how long the current registration has been paid for. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. 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. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS 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.

Whois Data Center has 9 historical WHOIS snapshots for THEOLDSITE.NET. The newest snapshot was taken on November 21, 2022. Each snapshot is a dated copy of the public WHOIS record as it looked when it was collected. Investigators use dated records to establish who controlled a domain at a specific point in time. 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. 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.

The record was updated in 4 fields between September 2, 2022 and November 21, 2022. The nameservers were reordered, but the same servers remain in use. The expiry date moved from October 10, 2022 to October 10, 2025, which shows the domain was renewed. The complete history is available below and can be exported for your own analysis.
