Kind of like the “Wayback Machine” at archive.org, but for DNS (domain names). It would be really handy, like when somebody accidentally let’s their domain name expire but the website still exists, you could just look up what IP address example.com resolve to last month and go there.

Does anyone know if such a service exists?
Thanks Fed, but that’s not always true. DNS and web hosting are completely separate things. It’s common to get both through one company, but not everybody does. I have personally encountered cases where this would be useful.

My website domain is soon to expire and will enter a “Renewal Hold”. I don’t wish to renew the domain name with the current host I am with (Streamline.net) as I find them absolutely shambolic. How would I go about transferring the domain to another host whilst in this renewal hold, and then renewing it with that new host?

We had a website for our company with our company name but the guys who created it got lost and now it expired and can’t pay for it again because we dont know how to. It expired on 8/27/10 and we want to buy it again, when i go to the website it says ” this web site expired on 8-27-10 and is pending for renewal or Deletion. Its been more than one month and it still doesn’t let me buy.. how long more is it going to take for them to delete it and make it available for me to buy it again.
