How we check domain age
We use RDAP (Registration Data Access Protocol), the modern, standardized replacement for WHOIS that ICANN requires for generic domain extensions. Each lookup goes to the official registry for that extension, so the registration date comes from the source.
Why domain age matters
- Buying an expired or aged domain: verify the age a seller claims.
- Vetting link partners: very new domains with high metrics can be a red flag.
- Brand research: see when a competitor launched and when their domain is up for renewal.
Google has said that domain age by itself is not a ranking factor. Older sites often rank well because they have had more time to earn links and build content — not because of the date itself.
FAQ
Domain Age Checker FAQ
Is domain age a Google ranking factor?
Not directly. Google has said age alone does not help rankings. Older domains tend to have more links and content, which is what actually helps.
Why does a domain show no data?
Some country-code extensions do not offer public RDAP yet, or the domain is not registered. In that case, check the registry's own WHOIS site.
Is the registration date the original one?
It is the creation date in the current registry record. If a domain expired and was re-registered, the date usually resets to the new registration.
Is this domain age checker free?
Yes. RDAP is a public service and the tool is free to use within fair daily limits.
