Here's something I never understood: back in 1998, I registered a domain name through a free domain name service (Namezero, I think it was called). Two years later in 2000, I had to go through a huge process to forward the domain to Godaddy. After I got this done in April 2000, I've noticed that to this day, all whois records say that the domain was purchased in 4/2000 instead of 12/1998. Why is that?
