What should I ask a domain registrar for?

Ask for historic registration-account, access, payment, security and change records tied to the exact domain and relevant period.

What to do

Useful categories include account details, contacts, verification, billing, logins, password resets, nameserver changes, transfers, renewals, linked domains where available and support communications. Registrar records usually do not include page content or publishing activity.

Key takeaway

Use registrar data as one attribution link, not proof of website operation.
