Domain Age Checker
Enter a domain to see when it was first registered and exactly how old it is today.
Overview
A domain's age is one of the signals people check when evaluating a website's trustworthiness, buying an existing domain, or researching a business — an older registration usually (though not always) means a more established site.
This tool reuses the same RDAP registration data as the WHOIS Lookup tool and simply does the age math for you, so you don't have to work out years/months from a raw creation date yourself.
Examples
Checking a domain's age
example.com
Created: 1992-01-01 — Age: 33 years, 7 months
How It Works
- Enter a domain name, e.g. example.com.
- Complete the verification check if shown.
- Click Check Age to query the domain's registry via RDAP.
- Review the domain's creation date and calculated age.
Use Cases
Evaluating a domain before purchase
Check how long a domain has been registered before buying it secondhand or bidding on it.
Researching a website's history
Get a quick signal of how established a site is before trusting it.
Tips
- Domain age is measured from the current registration's creation date, which resets if a domain lapses and is re-registered by someone else — it isn't necessarily how long the site's content has existed.
FAQ
The domain you enter is sent to our server, which queries the domain's registry via RDAP on your behalf — nothing else about you is sent or stored.
This lookup queries external registry infrastructure on your behalf, so a quick bot check helps keep the tool available and responsive for everyone.
RDAP returned no record for that domain, which usually means it's unregistered — though some registries redact this instead of omitting it, so this isn't a 100% certain signal.
