Look up past owners, registrars and nameservers for any domain. Our records go back to 2007. Decades of WHOIS & RDAP history Our archive goes back to 2007, capturing registrant details for many domains that current WHOIS no longer shows. Search a domain to see how much history we hold, then purchase the complete report: A deduplicated record-update timeline (registrar, contacts, nameservers, status) Every snapshot's full details as clean structured fields — registrar, dates, nameservers, status, and per-role contacts (registrant, admin, tech, billing, abuse) Registrar history across the domain's life Delivered as a .zip — a readable report.pdf plus a structured snapshots.jsonl — via a secure email link What a domain's history shows Each record is a copy of the domain's WHOIS or RDAP data on the day we saw it. Read in order, the records show who registered the domain over the years, which registrars it moved between, when its nameservers changed, and when it expired or was registered again. A nameserver change often comes with a new owner or a new host, so the timeline can show when a domain changed hands even where the owner's name is hidden. Why old records still show the owner

In 2018, when the EU's GDPR took effect, most registrars stopped publishing the owner's name, email and address in WHOIS. A lookup today usually shows “REDACTED FOR PRIVACY” or the name of a privacy service. Records captured before then often list the registrant in full, along with the admin and tech contacts. For many older domains, those records are where you can still find who owned them. When people check a domain's history Before you buy a domain See how long it has been registered, how often it has changed hands, and whether it expired and was picked up again. A domain that changed owners every year or two may have been used for spam. Phishing and fraud investigations See who registered a suspicious domain and when, and whether it was re-registered soon after it expired. Trademark and UDRP disputes UDRP panels look at when the current owner acquired a domain. A dated record of ownership and registrar changes helps establish that. Recovering a domain you lost If your domain expired or was transferred without your permission, past records show when it left your account and which registrar it went to.
