TLYNX.ORG dates back to April 28, 2006; its registration is valid until April 28, 2017. That makes the domain about 20 years old. OVH sas (IANA ID 433) manages the name, which is past its expiry date at the moment. The registrant is listed in Belgium. Its nameservers are ks3274097.kimsufi.com and ns.kimsufi.com. 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. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. Status flags such as transfer or delete locks are set by the registrar or registry to protect a domain from unauthorised changes. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services. 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.
Whois Data Center has 3 historical WHOIS snapshots for TLYNX.ORG. The newest snapshot was taken on October 23, 2016. 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. Buyers often review the history of a domain before purchasing it, to see past owners and registrars. Each snapshot is a dated copy of the public WHOIS record as it looked when it was collected. Historical records are useful for due diligence, brand protection and investigating the background of a website.
The record was updated in 16 fields between April 25, 2014 and October 23, 2016. The registrar changed from OVH (R135-LROR) to OVH sas.
