What it reads
Ask for a plain-English summary of this domain's record.
A domain's age is the time since it was first registered. The registry records that date when the domain is created, and it stays the same through renewals and transfers between registrars.
Enter a domain above to see its registration date and age in years and months, read from the registry's own record. The age is counted to the moment of the lookup.
Google has said that domain age on its own is not a ranking factor. Older domains often rank well for other reasons: they have had longer to earn links, publish content, and build a track record.
Age is still a useful signal when you judge a site. A domain registered last week that claims to be an established company deserves a closer look, and an old domain with a long history is usually a safer link or partner.
The registration date and the date a site went live are often different.
Starts when the name is registered. A domain can sit unused for years before any website appears on it.
Starts when content first went live. Web archives such as the Wayback Machine show the earliest saved copy.
If a domain expired and was registered again, its age restarts, even if an older website once lived there.

From the creation date in the registry's record to the moment of your lookup, shown in years and months. The tool also shows the exact registration date.
No. Moving a domain to another registrar or changing the owner keeps the original creation date. The age only resets if the domain expires, is deleted, and is registered again.
Not directly. Google has said domain age itself is not a ranking factor. Older domains tend to rank because they have more links and content, not because of the date.
The archive shows when a website was saved, while this tool shows when the current registration began. If the domain dropped and was registered again, the archive can show older copies from a previous owner.
This tool reads RDAP, the modern version of WHOIS that every generic ending such as .com, .net, .org, .app, and .dev must offer. Some country endings, including .io and .de, have not published an RDAP server yet, so there is no public record for us to read.
Yes. We save the domain you look up, the result, and any error for 12 months, with your IP address and approximate location, so we can find what goes wrong and improve the tool. The lookup itself goes to the public registry for that domain ending. If you use the AI summary, the record's dates, status codes, and registrar are sent to our AI provider. See our privacy policy.
