Whois history in action or mystery WikiLeaks.org :)
Dear Habravchane!
What if the usual Whois service does not meet the needs? When you need to find out not just the owner of the site, but to trace the history of the life of the domain and the history of its hosting? For all domain managers, creators and site optimizers, and for everyone else, we present a new and useful service - “Whois History and Other Domain Information” , which has no analogues in the Russian market. The history of Whois now covers not only the national domain zones .RU / .SU / ., as it was before, but also the majority of international domains.
To tell you how it works, we decided to take as a prototype - WikiLeaks.org, a resource with a complex fate.
')
To begin with, we decided to find out when (and even by whom) WikiLeaks was founded. The “Whois Story” has shown that the counting of the notorious WikiLeaks.org domain. begins October 4, 2006. The founders of the site with enviable regularity changed their data, sometimes even several times a month. The reason for such a frequent change of registration information indicates that the domain is hectic life. Scandals, intrigues, investigations, loud public affairs - all this makes the WikiLeaks project move from place to place.
Beginning of the story:
In 2008, the domain WikiLeaks.org. often changes servers that are scattered around the world. Habitual NS1.EVERYDNS.NET, NS2.EVERYDNS.NET, NS3.EVERYDNS.NET, NS4.EVERYDNS.NET temporarily ceased to serve WikiLeaks, and in 2010 the provider EVERYDNS.NET was forced to refuse the hosting service altogether, as a result of which the company moved on new servers. In the history of Whois also shows that the domain WikiLeaks.org some time has been delineated.
Completion of the story:
We decided not to stop there and to request the history of the hosting of the domain WikiLeaks.org. During its six-year existence, the resource almost every year changed its hosting provider, and the change of IP addresses occurred even more often (for example, in March 2008, the change of IP address occurred three times). Obviously, this is due to the fact that the domain WikiLeaks.org often tried to close.
But we decided to complete our research and made a few more requests. We easily managed to “break through” how many domain names are hanging on WikiLeaks aipishniki.
It turned out that WikiLeaks has 29 domains of various subjects.
And by requesting domains on DNS servers, we received such a huge list of domain names (and even then, we think, not all of them) that it is pointless to bring it here. And so it is clear that the DNS server that uses WikiLeaks.org is incredibly popular. Yes, and the resource WikiLeaks, despite its scandalous reputation, is in great demand.
That's how our little research ended. In conclusion, I would like to add that the “Whois History and other domain data” service is an invaluable help for SEO specialists, web developers and other specialists in the field of website development and promotion. And simply, if you are a resident of the Network and want to know more about the domains that you are interested in, go in, use the “Whois History and other domain information” service. Thanks to constant data updates, you will always have up-to-date information.
We hope the service will be useful to you.
