Practical usage of domain name history

Domain Owner History Lookup Makes Cybercriminal Investigations more Comprehensive

Domain Owner History Lookup Makes Cybercriminal Investigations more Comprehensive

  • Deepen any investigation on a suspicious domain by looking at its historical footprint.
  • Find out more about a privacy-protected domain by digging into its historical ownership details.
  • Build attacker profiles complete with their domain portfolios (past and present) with the help of WHOIS history lookups.

Look up Ownership to Bolster Your Domain Reputation

  • Associations with disreputable websites, IP addresses, former registrants, and more can tarnish your domain’s reputation. Avoid such connections by digging as far back as you can on your domain’s history.
  • Even the best search engine optimization (SEO) efforts won’t work on a disreputable domain. Make sure that the authoritative domain you’re eyeing for your company has no violations by scrutinizing its entire history.
  • Don’t put your email deliverability at stake. Looking into the past of a domain you’re considering for business expansion will let you see if it has associations that may cause it to be blacklisted.
