Domain Age Checker — registration date and expiry online

This tool shows the age of a domain: when it was first registered, how many years it has been active, the expiry date, and the registrar. Data is retrieved via a live Whois query.

Why check domain age

• SEO: search engines tend to trust older domains more. Domain age is one of the ranking factors.
• Security: phishing sites frequently use freshly registered domains (under 30 days old). A young domain is a reason for caution.
• Domain purchase: when buying an established site it is important to know the real age of the domain.
• Competitor research: understanding when a competing site was registered.

How domain age is determined

The registration date is taken from the Creation Date field of the Whois response. Age is calculated as the difference between today and the first registration date. Note: re-registration of a domain does not reset the creation date.
