who.is
You sure? ..just seeing current records...
Domaintools? These services usually costs money
@twain who.is include last 1 record along with the real-time one As Far As I have Seen.
Note:- Only if some one have accessed the past record from the website.
Plus try Domain tools trial.
There is a tab called History.
cool thanks
This is the direct link if you can't find the tab:
http://who.is/domain-history/
Searching doesn't provide results, just redirects you to the home page.
Search first from the homepage, then hit the History tab.

Nasty. Apparently name.com is joining the get-your-data-removed-from-the-web extortion scheme... that scheme has been getting more and more popular lately.
I was actually happy (and minorly alarmed) to see gandi.net give me the option to allow them to sell my WHOIS data when I decided to go with them on some recent domain registrations. They've got my respect though for having it default to "no" in addition to pretty much saying "we don't want to have to sell your data, don't make us".
I can charging @joepie91 for removal. It's a bit shady.
But at $29.95, that's a freaking ripoff. At $3-$5, tolerable.
You know, the low end extortion bracket...
Removal is only performed on who.is database, right? There might be a lot other services caching the info on their database.
I would assume so. This is the exact same thought that first crossed my mind
@DalComp +1 for link suppression is good, legit way to do that
Actually, even $3-$5 is ridiculous. Removing historical WHOIS data really doesn't amount to anything more than removing a row from the database, which is effectively free. Verification could be done easily by letting the domain owner set a TXT record - also doesn't cost anything. Both can be implemented in a negligible amount of time.
The "processing fee" is really nothing more than a good legal excuse to charge people for removing their data. It holds no technical or economical justification.
Correct. This makes it even more shady. The "erase your identity" services at least attempt to remove your data at other places as well.
I tried a few domains on who.is. Nice website, but their information is not complete. Perhaps they scan domain registrations only periodically. Thus, if multiple changes fall between the events, some of them may get missed.
