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.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the minimum domain age considered good for SEO?

  There are no strict thresholds, but practice shows that domains older than 2–3 years tend to have an advantage over newer ones (under one year). However, content quality, backlinks, and absence of penalties play a decisive role. Check the age with the Domain Age tool and evaluate the history via Whois.

• Can I find out the domain age if the registrar hides data via WHOIS Privacy?

  Yes. Even with owner data hidden, the Registration Date and Expiry Date fields remain public under ICANN rules. The service on 101ip.ru reads exactly these technical fields, so you will always get the precise domain age regardless of privacy protection.

• What should I do if the registration date is shown but the age looks wrong?

  Make sure the domain has not been re-registered — if it expired and was purchased by a new owner, the registration date may have reset. In that case, use the /whois/ checker on 101ip.ru to review the full history. The Domain Age tool counts from the current registration date on record.
