Registered on May 11, 2016, WIRE.IST is paid up until May 11, 2023. It is roughly 10 years old today. GoDaddy.com LLC (IANA ID 146) is the registrar of record, and the domain is currently past its expiry date. Locks are in place against transfer, deletion and updates. The registrant country on record is United States. Its nameservers are dns1.a.io and dns2.a.io. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. 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. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services. 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. 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. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks.

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. The snapshot list below shows every capture we hold, newest first. Security teams use WHOIS history to spot suspicious ownership changes and to link related domains. Comparing snapshots makes it easy to see when the registrar, nameservers or status of a domain changed. Snapshots are collected over time, so the gaps between them depend on how often the record was checked. A long history with few changes usually points to a stable owner, while frequent changes can signal a transfer or a resale.
