🌐 Domain Age Checker
Enter any domain name to see exactly when it was first registered, how old it is, and when it's set to expire — pulled live from the domain's official registration record.
How the Domain Age Checker works
This tool queries RDAP (Registration Data Access Protocol), the modern official successor to WHOIS, directly from the domain's registry in real time — no cached or estimated data.
Step-by-step calculation
- 1Enter a domain name.
- 2The registry's RDAP record is queried.
- 3The registration date is compared with today.
Worked example
A domain registered on January 1, 2010 is 16 years, 10 months and 13 days old on November 14, 2026.
Why use a Domain Age Checker?
Check how long a website has existed — useful for trust checks and SEO research.
Important factors that can affect your results
- Domains that expired and were re-registered show the newer date.
- Some registries limit public data.
- Domain age alone does not guarantee trust.
Frequently asked questions
Is this data live?
Yes — every lookup queries the domain's registry directly at the moment you search, not a cached database.
Does this work for all domain extensions?
Most common TLDs (.com, .net, .org, .io, and many others) support RDAP. A small number of older or less common extensions may not return full data.
