Say you own: example.com
You've had it since 2004 and it expires, lets say, July 4th.
So the WhoIS information would show something like:
Creation Date: 2004-07-04 01:16:00Z
Registrar Registration Expiration Date: 2014-07-04 01:16:17Z
Now, let's say you no longer have access to this domain name, and that despite paying for the renewal, the registar claims the domain name entered the redempetion period, expired, and then was re-registered by someone else. Wouldn't the "creation date" update to reflect the new renewal, and not that of the old or original registration date? Wouldn't the expiration dates update and not be on the same date as the previous owner? (Meaning WhoIS information wouldn't still show the original 2004 registration date)
I've had a domain expire in the past, I re-registered it sometime later... the "creation date" now shows the latest registration, not the original from years ago. Yet eNom says that for this other particular domain that it 'expired' and that the domain name is now owned by another eNom user but the WhoIS information (creation date, expiration date, etc) has not updated, in fact the only update to the domain would be listed as the "Updated Date:" where it shows someone updated the domain in November, and applied Private WhoIS to it despite the domain name owner never being billed for domain ID privacy (Which isn't free from this eNom reseller). It's my theory the domain was transferred without authorization into another account on this date in November, eNom says differently though, and there is no records of a request for a transfer either.
