According to its WHOIS record, YEXT.CN was created on May 22, 2007 and expires on May 22, 2024. It is roughly 19 years old today. It is registered through MarkMonitor Inc. (IANA ID 292) and is past its expiry date. Locks are in place against transfer, deletion and updates. DNS is served by ns-cloud-a3.googledomains.com, ns-cloud-a1.googledomains.com, ns-1848.awsdns-39.co.uk and ns-cloud-a4.googledomains.com, which means its DNS is run by Amazon Route 53. 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. 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. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. 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. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. The creation date shows when the name was first registered, while the expiry date shows how long the current registration has been paid for. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations.
Nothing changed between the two most recent snapshots, so the record looks stable. The complete history is available below and can be exported for your own analysis.
Our archive holds 6 historical WHOIS snapshots of YEXT.CN. The most recent capture is from July 11, 2022. Security teams use WHOIS history to spot suspicious ownership changes and to link related domains. These records help track changes in registration details, ownership signals and DNS over time. Historical records are useful for due diligence, brand protection and investigating the background of a website. 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. The snapshot list below shows every capture we hold, newest first. 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.
