When was iana.org registered?
iana.org was registered on 5 June 1995, which makes it about 31 years old.
A registration this old means the domain has been renewed repeatedly, which costs money every year and is not something abandoned or disposable projects tend to do.
The registrar of record is CSC Corporate Domains, Inc..
Registration runs until 8 December 2027.
The domain carries 3 registry locks, which blocks unauthorised transfer or deletion.
| Registered | 5 June 1995 |
|---|---|
| Expires | 8 December 2027 |
| Registrar | CSC Corporate Domains, Inc. |
| Registry status | server delete prohibited, server transfer prohibited, server update prohibited |
Where is iana.org hosted?
The first address resolves to infrastructure in Anthony, United States.
The network is operated by ICANN (AS16876 ICANN).
Hosting location describes where the responding server sits, not where the business is. A CDN will report its nearest edge rather than the origin.
What is iana.org running on?
iana.org exposes 1 identifiable technology: Cloudflare.
Cloudflare sits in front of the origin, so the server header, IP addresses and response timing describe the edge rather than the machine actually running the site.
- Cloudflare
How does the homepage respond?
The server answered with HTTP 200 over
HTTPS.
At 349ms to first byte this response is unremarkable for a homepage measured from a single European location.
At 6KB the HTML is unusually small, which typically means the page builds itself client-side after load.
The HTML is compressed with gzip.
| Server header | cloudflare |
|---|---|
| Compression | gzip |
| Page size | 6,253 bytes |
| Declared language | not declared |
| Mobile viewport | declared |
What does the homepage say about itself?
The title is 35 characters, inside the range that displays without truncation.
There is no meta description, so the snippet shown in search results is assembled by the search engine from whatever text it considers relevant.
The html element declares no lang attribute, which removes a signal both screen readers and translation tools rely on.
| Title | Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (35 chars) |
|---|---|
| Meta description | — none — (0 chars) |
| H1 | Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (1 on the page) |
| Canonical | https://iana.org/ |
| Open Graph title | not set |
| Headings / images | 3 H2s, 0 images (0 without alt text) |
Is iana.org served over a valid certificate?
The HTTPS certificate is issued by Sectigo Limited and is
valid until 2027-01-05, which is 93 days from the date of this check. It covers
2 hostnames.
- *.iana.org
- iana.org
The certificate has 93 days left to run.
It covers 2 hostnames, so it was issued for this site specifically.
Which security headers does it set?
5 of 6 are set (HSTS, Content Security Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy). Absent: Permissions-Policy.
| Header | Set | Value |
|---|---|---|
| HSTS | yes | max-age=48211200; preload |
| Content Security Policy | yes | upgrade-insecure-requests; default-src 'self' https://*.iana.org; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval' https: |
| X-Content-Type-Options | yes | nosniff, nosniff |
| X-Frame-Options | yes | DENY |
| Referrer-Policy | yes | same-origin |
| Permissions-Policy | no | — |
How is DNS configured for iana.org?
| IP addresses | 192.0.43.8, 2001:500:88:200::8 |
|---|---|
| Reverse DNS | 43-8.any.icann.org, iana.org |
| Name servers | ns.icann.org, a.iana-servers.net, b.iana-servers.net, c.iana-servers.net |
| Mail (MX) | pechora8.icann.org (pri 10), pechora1.icann.org (pri 10), pechora6.icann.org (pri 10), pechora7.icann.org (pri 10) |
| SPF | v=spf1 redirect=icann.org |
| TXT records | 12 |
iana.org resolves to 2 addresses, which indicates load balancing or a CDN rather than a single origin server.
Mail is handled by 4 exchangers.
An SPF record is published, giving receiving servers a rule for which hosts may send as this domain.
Reverse DNS resolves to 43-8.any.icann.org, iana.org, which usually names the hosting provider.
Who runs DNS and mail for iana.org?
Mail exchangers point at hosts that do not match any major provider, which usually means self-hosted or niche-provider mail.
The domain publishes AAAA records and accepts connections over IPv6.
What else is worth noting about iana.org?
The page title and the H1 are identical. That is not an error, but it usually means one of the two is not doing any work.
Can iana.org be spoofed in email?
DMARC is published with p=none, which monitors but does not act. Forged mail is still delivered; the owner just gets reports about it.
CAA records restrict certificate issuance to 6 named authorities (issue letsencrypt.org, issue sectigo.com, iodef mailto:caa-reports@icann.org, issuewild sectigo.com), so no other CA should be able to issue for this domain.
The zone is not DNSSEC-signed. That is still the norm for most domains, but it means DNS answers cannot be cryptographically verified.
What does robots.txt allow?
robots.txt is 24 bytes and names
1 user-agent group.
It does not blanket-disallow general crawlers.
No sitemap is declared in robots.txt.
AI crawler policy
robots.txt names no AI crawlers specifically, so they fall under whatever rule
applies to User-agent: *.
What structured data does the homepage publish?
No JSON-LD or microdata was found on the homepage.
What does iana.org load from third parties?
The homepage loads no resources from third-party hosts at all, which is rare and means visiting it tells no other company that you did.
No cookies are set on first load.
Does iana.org settle on one address?
Plain HTTP redirects to HTTPS, so visitors who type the bare address still land on the secure version.
Both iana.org and www.iana.org answer with 200 and neither redirects to the other. Search engines therefore see two complete copies of the site, and link equity is split between them unless a canonical tag resolves it.
How easily can iana.org be crawled?
No readable sitemap was found, so crawlers have to discover every page by following links.
A deliberately invalid URL correctly returns HTTP 404, so missing pages will not be indexed.
What tracking does iana.org run?
No analytics or advertising trackers were detected on the homepage of iana.org, which is unusual for a commercial site.
How does iana.org look when shared?
No Open Graph or Twitter Card tags are present. Links shared to social platforms will fall back to whatever the platform can scrape, usually just a bare URL.
How are images, fonts and scripts handled?
The page pulls 1 external stylesheet and 3 external scripts, with 2 carrying defer or async.
Responses carry Cloudflare edge headers, so content is served from a CDN rather than straight from the origin.
Is iana.org accessible and current?
The page uses 2 landmark elements and 0 ARIA attributes.
No skip-to-content link was found, which keyboard users rely on to bypass navigation.
Can search engines index iana.org?
Nothing on the homepage prevents indexing: no noindex is set in the robots meta tag or the X-Robots-Tag header.
The homepage carries 32 internal and 4 external links across 2 outside hosts.
Visible text makes up 21% of the HTML.
How is iana.org delivered?
The HTML is served with Cache-Control: public, max-age=3600.
HTTP/3 is advertised via alt-svc, so modern browsers will upgrade to QUIC after the first visit.
Frequently asked questions
Does iana.org set the usual HTTP security headers?
It sets 5 of 6. The ones not present are: Permissions-Policy.
Does iana.org allow AI crawlers?
robots.txt names no AI crawler specifically, so they fall under the wildcard rule, which does not disallow them.
What is iana.org built with?
The homepage exposes these fingerprints: Cloudflare. A site behind a CDN or rendered server-side may use more than it reveals.
Where does this data come from?
Every figure was measured by our own server on 4 October 2026: DNS lookups, one HTTPS request to the homepage, a TLS handshake and a request for robots.txt. No third-party SEO API is involved.
Is any of this traffic or authority data?
No. Traffic, authority and ranking figures cannot be measured by inspecting a domain, only modelled. Everything here is a direct observation.
I own iana.org and want this page removed.
Ask through the contact page on this site, from an address at the domain, and the report will be taken down. It only ever shows what the domain already serves publicly.
