This student wants to buy a second-hand domain name. Before placing an order, he wants to check what the domain name has done before, whether there is any illegal record, who has been punished, who has been K, etc. Or you are interested in any domain name. You want to know when this domain name has been used and what changes have taken place over the years. At this time, no records can be found using the webmaster's tools.
1. Site History Query
There is a website that can view the history of websites around the world. Its name is waybackmachine (Internet Archive), and its domain name is web.archinve.org. It stores all the historical snapshots of websites around the world that can be searched.
The Internet Archive keeps all the website information, as long as he can capture it, it will be saved. The main collected website resources come from Alexa and other websites. If your website is not included, you can also actively add it to the Internet Archive. The Internet Archive, located in the United States, is a non-profit information resource library, which is free and open to users around the world. It will regularly collect and permanently save the information allowed to be crawled on global websites. Large websites are crawled more frequently, while small websites are rare. This website can only be opened by using a foreign IP address.
The method is simple. Enter the domain name to query. You will soon see the history of domain name websites, divided by year and month.
2. Snapshot
Search engines all provide snapshots of web pages, just like taking a photo of the website for free query.
For example, in the following figure, click "Baidu Snapshot" to see the results.
Search engines all provide snapshots of web pages, similar to taking a photo of the website for free query
However, the records of search engine snapshots are far less useful and rich than the Internet archives above.
Speaking of which, I recall that there was once a corporate website whose files were lost after it expired without renewal, but this time it was urgent to rebuild the website.
It is through Baidu snapshots that most of the article pages, product pages, pictures, and text are retrieved page by page, and the enterprise website is 100% restored to solve the urgent problem.
