: Creating date based back entries for a blog and its site registration So I am showing a blog to a colleague and telling him how the author has been regularly blogging for over ten years now.

I believe that your work friend is mistaken, basically when a domain expires after the redemption period it is released to the public... All records of the domains are deleted. When re-registering the new date will be shown.

Now there are a few possibilities that would lead your friend to this conclusion:


Using a whois that uses cached results.
Using a whois that displays first registered in year X.
Auctioned domains do not technically expire therefor it would not be a new registration, so the date would not change.


I would imagine that in certain cases it would be possible to change the registration date but in no way do I imagine they would do it for periods you was not owning the domain, therefor the new date which be shown... In fact they do not even have a written policy on their site because to me its a obvious no....

Its like asking someone to back date a receipt for periods you did not own the item, ask your friend to cite official information either from ICANN or Nominate that contains this information.
