Find out how old any domain is using WHOIS data. Check registration date, expiry date, registrar and name servers.
Free Domain Age Checker
Domain age refers to how long a domain name has been registered. This information is publicly available in WHOIS records and is used by SEO professionals, domain investors, and webmasters for competitive research, trust evaluation, and domain acquisition decisions. This free Domain Age Checker retrieves the registration date, expiration date, and exact age of any domain instantly.
Enter any domain to see when it was first registered, when it expires, its exact age in years and months, and the registrar managing it. The tool pulls data directly from WHOIS records for accuracy.
Domain age data helps you understand whether a competitor's domain is newly established or has years of history behind it, and whether a domain you are considering purchasing has a long-standing presence worth paying a premium for.
Domain Age and SEO Trust
While domain age alone is not a strong ranking signal, it correlates with factors that do matter. Older domains have typically accumulated more backlinks over time, have more indexed content, and have demonstrated to search engines that they are not fly-by-night spam operations. Google's algorithms incorporate domain history as one of many trust signals.
A domain registered yesterday will have no trust history with Google. A ten-year-old domain with consistent content and backlinks has established considerable domain authority. This is why aged domains often rank faster than brand new ones, even with similar content quality.
For domain acquisitions, age is just one factor. Check the domain's backlink history, past content (via Wayback Machine), and any manual action history in Google Search Console before paying a premium for an aged domain.
