About the Domain Age Checker
The Domain Age Checker reads a domain's WHOIS record and calculates its exact age in years and days. Domain age is a useful trust signal when you evaluate a website, a link partner or a domain you are thinking of buying.
The result also shows when the record was last updated and when the registration expires, so you can spot domains that are about to lapse.

Frequently asked questions
Does domain age affect rankings?
Not directly. Age on its own is not a ranking factor, but older domains have usually had more time to build content and links.
Why is the creation date missing?
Some country registries do not publish creation dates in WHOIS. In that case the age cannot be calculated.
Is the age counted from the first registration?
It is counted from the creation date in the current registry record. If a domain expired and was registered again, the age starts again from the new date.
