WHOIS · RDAP
Domain age checker
Paste up to 10 domains to see when each was registered and how old it is. Dates come from the registry's own record (RDAP / WHOIS).
What the registration date tells you
- The registration date is when the current registration began. If a domain was deleted and registered again, the date starts over; the record does not show earlier owners.
- Search engines do not rank sites by domain age itself; an older domain simply had more time to collect links and history. Check what was published on it before you buy it.
- The expiry date helps you spot names that may drop: a domain that is not renewed goes through grace, redemption and pending-delete periods before it becomes free.
- Some registries, mostly country-code ones, do not publish dates, so the age cannot be shown for their domains.
Frequently asked questions
›Is the registration date the domain's very first registration?
Not always. It belongs to the current registration; if the domain expired and was registered again, the newer date is shown.
›Does an older domain rank better on Google?
Google has said that domain age on its own is not a ranking factor. Older domains often have more links and content, and those are what matter.
›Why is no date shown for some domains?
Some registries, especially country-code ones, do not publish creation dates in WHOIS or RDAP.
