Frequently asked questions

How is domain age calculated?

From the date the domain was first registered, as recorded by the registry, to today. If a domain expired and was registered again by someone new, the age starts from the new registration — the history before that isn't counted.

Where does this information come from?

Directly from the official registry for each extension, using RDAP (the modern replacement for WHOIS). For the few extensions that don't offer RDAP yet, we use the registry's WHOIS service. We don't guess or estimate.

Does domain age affect SEO?

Not directly — Google has said domain age itself isn't a ranking factor. But older domains often have more history, links and trust built up over time, which do matter. Age is also a useful signal when checking whether a website or seller is trustworthy.

Why can't I see the owner's name?

Owner details are usually hidden for privacy (GDPR and registrar privacy services). We show the public facts: dates, registrar, name servers and status.

Why does it say 'Not registered'?

The registry has no record of that domain, so nobody owns it right now. It may be available to buy from any registrar.

Some extensions show 'No date published'. Why?

A few country registries don't make registration dates public. In that case there's no official date anyone can show.

Check how old a domain is

Type a domain or paste any web address — we work out the domain, ask its official registry and show when it was registered, how old it is, when it expires and which registrar it's with.

When domain age is useful

  • Checking a website before you buy — a shop that claims years of history but registered its domain last month is a warning sign.
  • Buying a domain or a website — confirm its real age and how long until it expires.
  • SEO and link building — judge how established a site is before you approach it.
  • Keeping your own domains safe — see expiry dates so nothing lapses by accident.
