See exactly how old a domain is, straight from its registry
Uses RDAP, the modern structured registry-lookup protocol — real registration data, not an estimate.
A domain age checker looks up when a domain was first registered and works out exactly how long it's been active — pulled directly from the domain's own registry, not guessed from indirect signals.
Enter a domain.
Press "Check Age."
See its exact age, registration date, expiration, and registrar.
This queries RDAP (Registration Data Access Protocol), the standardized, JSON-based successor to WHOIS. It's the same registry data WHOIS used to expose, but structured and consistent instead of free-text formatting that varies registrar by registrar.
It's a small, disputed factor at best — there's no solid evidence that an older domain directly ranks higher purely for being older. Where it's actually useful is as a quick trust signal: a domain registered decades ago with a consistent history reads differently than one registered last week, especially when evaluating an unfamiliar site.

Check how established a company's domain actually is before a deal.
See how long a competitor's site has actually been around.
Most common TLDs — .com, .net, .org, .io, and many country-code domains — support RDAP and will return a result. A handful of older or smaller registries haven't adopted RDAP yet and won't have data here.
It queries RDAP (Registration Data Access Protocol), the modern structured replacement for WHOIS, and reads the domain's actual registration date straight from its registry — not an estimate.
Older domains are often associated with more established sites, though domain age itself is a small and disputed ranking factor at best. It's more useful as a quick trust signal when evaluating a site than as something to optimize for.
Most common TLDs (.com, .net, .org, .io, and many country codes) support RDAP and will work. A handful of older or smaller registries don't publish RDAP data yet, and won't return a result here.
Similar data, better source. RDAP is the structured, standardized successor to WHOIS — same underlying registry data, returned as clean JSON instead of registrar-specific free-text formatting that's inconsistent to parse.
No. Each lookup is a live request to the domain's registry for that one search and isn't stored.
