The date when the domain was first registered in the registry database. This is the domain's 'birthday' - when it was originally created, not when the current owner acquired it.
How to Interpret
Older creation dates generally indicate more established, trustworthy domains. Newly registered domains (days or weeks old) are sometimes associated with spam or phishing.
Why It Matters
Useful for assessing domain credibility. Security researchers use creation dates to identify potentially suspicious newly-registered domains.
History
Domain creation tracking became systematic with the automation of domain registration in the 1990s.

Registrar
Registrar
The accredited organization through which the domain was registered. Registrars are companies authorized by ICANN to sell and manage domain registrations.
How to Interpret
Common registrars include GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare, and Google Domains. The registrar is your point of contact for renewals, transfers, and management.
Why It Matters
Knowing the registrar is essential for domain management and recovery. During disputes or security incidents, the registrar has authority to lock or transfer the domain.
History
The registrar system was established in 1999 when ICANN ended Network Solutions' monopoly on .com/.net/.org registrations.
EPP (Extensible Provisioning Protocol) status flags indicating the current operational and security state of the domain. These control what operations can be performed.
How to Interpret
Common statuses: clientTransferProhibited (locked against unauthorized transfers), serverHold (suspended, won't resolve), pendingDelete (being removed), ok (no restrictions). Multiple statuses typically appear together.
Why It Matters
Status codes affect what you can do with a domain. Transfer locks prevent hijacking; hold statuses indicate serious issues requiring attention.
History
EPP status codes were introduced in the early 2000s when ICANN mandated the EPP protocol, replacing inconsistent registrar-specific systems.
DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions) adds cryptographic authentication to DNS responses, digitally signing records to verify they haven't been tampered with.
How to Interpret
Values: unsigned (not enabled, most common), signedDelegation (properly configured). Enabling DNSSEC requires support from both the registry and nameserver provider.
Why It Matters
DNSSEC protects against DNS spoofing and cache poisoning attacks. Increasingly important for high-security applications and government sites.
History
DNSSEC was first defined in RFC 2535 (1999), revised in RFC 4033-4035 (2005). The root DNS zone was signed in 2010. Adoption remains relatively low due to complexity.
Registry Domain ID:1225976_DOMAIN_COM-VRSN
DNSSEC:unsigned
Nameservers
Nameservers
The DNS servers responsible for providing authoritative DNS records for the domain. They tell the internet where to find the domain's website, email, and other services.
How to Interpret
Typically 2-4 hostnames. These can be registrar defaults, hosting provider nameservers (like ns1.cloudflare.com), or custom nameservers.
Why It Matters
Nameservers control all DNS resolution. Incorrect configuration is a common cause of website downtime. Unauthorized changes can redirect traffic to malicious sites.
History
The distributed nameserver system was designed in the 1980s by Paul Mockapetris as part of DNS (RFC 1034/1035).

Network Information
Network Information
The range of IP addresses allocated as a single block. NetRange shows start/end IPs (192.0.2.0 - 192.0.2.255), CIDR uses slash notation (192.0.2.0/24).
IP WHOIS provides registration information for IP address blocks, revealing who owns and operates specific IP addresses. Unlike domain WHOIS (website ownership), IP WHOIS focuses on network infrastructure.
History
The RIR system was established in the 1990s to manage growing demand. IANA allocated the final IPv4 blocks to RIRs in 2011, leading to IPv6 adoption and IPv4 address trading markets.
