Free Domain Age Checker
See exactly how old a domain is. Registration date, age in years, last updated date, and when it expires.
How it works
Enter a domain
Any registered domain in a TLD with RDAP support.
We query the registry
RDAP returns the canonical registration date — not a guess from the Wayback Machine.
Read the age
Years, days, and three key milestones (created, updated, expires).
Frequently asked questions
Why does domain age matter?+
SEO crawlers, fraud-detection systems, and trust scoring models all weight domain age. Older domains tend to be more credible — newly registered domains are statistically more likely to host phishing.
Why is the age 'unavailable' for some domains?+
A few ccTLDs don't expose the registration date over RDAP. For those you'd need a registry-specific lookup or a paid WHOIS aggregator.
Is the 'last updated' date the same as the last DNS change?+
No. That date is when the registry record changed — typically registrar transfers, contact updates, or DNSSEC re-signing. Your nameserver A/AAAA changes don't touch the registry timestamp.
Can a domain be older than its current registration?+
Yes — if a domain was registered, dropped, and re-registered, the registration date resets. The earlier history doesn't show up in RDAP, only the current registration.
