Domain Age Checker

Find out how old a domain is

The domain age checker reads the official registration date of a domain from its registry and turns it into an exact age in years, months and days. It also shows when the domain expires and which registrar holds it. The data comes from RDAP, the standard registries use to publish registration data, so it is the same record a registrar would see.

Why domain age is useful

• Buying a domain or website: an older registration with a clean history is usually worth more than a fresh one.
• Checking a shop or seller: a store that claims ten years of trading on a domain registered last month is a warning sign.
• Link building and outreach: compare the age of many prospect sites at once before you spend time on them.
• Security: phishing and scam domains are often only days old, so a very young domain deserves extra care.

Comparing several domains

Paste a list of up to 20 domains to compare them side by side. The table shows the creation date, age, expiry and registrar for each one, sorted from the oldest. Export it as CSV to keep it in a spreadsheet. Sub-domains such as blog.example.com are looked up on the registered parent domain.

Reading the result correctly

Age only covers the current registration. If a domain was ever allowed to expire and someone else registered it, its creation date restarts, and any history from before that point is gone. For a fuller picture, also check the site's archive history and its backlink profile. The expiry date tells you how long the owner has paid for; a domain renewed for many years ahead shows long-term commitment.
