About domain age

A domain's age is the time since it was first registered, taken from the registry's creation date. Older domains tend to carry more trust: spam filters and search engines often treat long-established domains more favourably than ones registered days ago.

This checker reads the real registration date via RDAP, so the age is accurate rather than estimated. Note that some ccTLDs do not publish creation dates, in which case the age cannot be determined.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Got Questions? We Have Answers.

How is domain age calculated?

From the registry's creation date to today. This tool reads the real registration date via RDAP, so the age is accurate rather than estimated.

Why does domain age matter?

Older domains generally carry more trust. Spam filters and search engines often treat long-established domains more favourably than ones registered very recently.

Can a domain's age reset?

If a domain expires and is re-registered, the creation date can change. The date shown reflects the current registration on record at the registry.

Why is no registration date shown?

Some ccTLDs do not publish a creation date via RDAP. In that case the age cannot be determined for that domain.

Does a new domain hurt my SEO?

Age is only one small signal. New domains can rank well, but they may face more caution early on, so quality content and links matter even more at first.

Is the data live?

Yes. The registration date is fetched from the authoritative RDAP server in real time.
