    Just off whois on linux, but I’m not clear why it lists two different sets of dates. I’m guessing querying the root whois vs the registrar, and hexbear is currently in the process of fixing their domain which is why one set is 2026.

    ~$ whois hexbear.net
       Domain Name: HEXBEAR.NET
       Registry Domain ID: 2584175083_DOMAIN_NET-VRSN
       Registrar WHOIS Server: whois-service.virtualcloud.co
       Registrar URL: http://sav.com/
       Updated Date: 2025-02-11T17:34:08Z
       Creation Date: 2021-01-12T00:35:22Z
       Registry Expiry Date: 2026-01-12T00:35:22Z

    Unless the +1 year date is the registrar holding it for themselves to auction off, which seems equally likely.

      Yeah, that’s what it is. Whois actually explained it to me, and I didn’t bother to read it the first time. I made an edit.
