I was looking at a whois record this morning and saw that the creation date was in 2001 but the registration date was in 2006.
Anyone know the difference between a creation date and registration date? I initially would have thought they were the same thing. Guess not..

Best guess I have.
Here’s my guess…….. lol it’s like a game!
Creation date = very first time the domain name was registered on the internets
Registration date = date that it was re-newed this time around (if the guy’s had it forever)
Cheers!

The other strange thing is that the expiration date is also not the same day/month as the registration date. So can’t see how that would be the case.
when you move domain name registrar you have to renew for 1 year
so say reg name name 1 january 09 with networksolutions then you move the name to godaddy on the 1 of april you have to renew again for 1 year so it changes the expiration date
The expiration date is the same as the created date.. The registration date is different to both of these.
So if that was the case, the expiration date would be the same as the registration date (which is on a different day, 5 years after creation date)…
Let us know if you happen to discover what the go is!
I need to find the answers man. He is like the backwards man, only instead of being backwards, he knows the answers.
Is it possible this is the case with the one you saw?
