We ask the official registry for the domain's registration record.

WHOIS Fields Explained
What each part of the domain record means.
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Creation date | When the domain was first registered — this is the domain age |
| Expiry date | When the registration ends unless it is renewed |
| Updated date | The last time the record changed (renewal, transfer, DNS change) |
| Registrar | The company the domain was registered with (e.g. GoDaddy, Namecheap) |
| Name servers | The DNS servers that control the domain's website and email |
| clientTransferProhibited | A lock that stops the domain being moved to another registrar without permission |
| DNSSEC | Extra protection that signs the domain's DNS records |
| RDAP | The modern, official replacement for WHOIS used by registries |
What Can You Use It For?
Popular ways people use Domain Age Checker.
SEO Research
Older domains often have more history and backlinks — check before buying or linking.
Buying a Domain
See the real age and expiry date before you buy a used domain.
Spot Scams
Brand-new domains are a common warning sign for scam shops and phishing.
Renewal Reminders
Check when your own domains expire so they never lapse.
Tips for the Best Result
- A very new domain (a few weeks old) selling big brands at low prices is a common scam warning sign.
- Domain age counts from the creation date; if a domain expired and was registered again, the age restarts.
- Some country registries (like .de) don't publish creation dates — the tool tells you when that happens.
- Check if the site is online with Is Website Down and its certificate with the SSL Checker.
