❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is domain age? â–ŧ
Domain age refers to how long a domain name has been registered and active on the internet. It is calculated from the domain's original creation date (when it was first registered) to the current date. For example, if a domain was registered on January 1, 2010, its domain age would be calculated from that date to today.
Why is domain age important for SEO? â–ŧ
Domain age is considered one of the many ranking factors in search engine optimization. While it's not the most critical factor, older domains often benefit from: (1) More established backlink profiles built over time, (2) Longer content history that search engines have indexed, (3) Greater perceived trustworthiness, (4) More time to accumulate authority signals. However, a new domain with excellent content can still outrank older domains.
How accurate is this domain age checker? â–ŧ
Our domain age checker retrieves information directly from WHOIS databases maintained by domain registrars and ICANN-accredited organizations. The creation date we display is the official registration date on record. This data is highly accurate and is the same information used by domain registrars, web hosting companies, and SEO professionals worldwide.
What information can I get from WHOIS lookup? â–ŧ
A WHOIS lookup provides various details about a domain including: (1) Creation date - when the domain was first registered, (2) Updated date - when the registration was last modified, (3) Expiration date - when the current registration expires, (4) Registrar - the company through which the domain was registered, (5) Name servers - DNS servers handling the domain, (6) Domain status codes - current status like clientTransferProhibited, (7) DNSSEC status - whether domain security extensions are enabled.
How does domain age affect Google ranking? â–ŧ
Google has stated that domain age by itself is not a significant ranking factor. However, older domains often correlate with factors that do matter: (1) More time to build quality backlinks, (2) Established content that has been indexed and evaluated, (3) User behavior data accumulated over time, (4) Brand recognition and trust signals. Focus on creating quality content rather than just domain age.
What is a good domain age? â–ŧ
There's no specific "good" domain age threshold. Domains over 2-3 years are generally considered established. Domains over 10 years may have additional trust advantages. However, many successful websites are built on newer domains. What matters more is the quality of your content, backlink profile, user experience, and overall SEO strategy rather than age alone.
Can I check multiple domains at once? â–ŧ
Currently, our tool checks one domain at a time to provide detailed, accurate information. This ensures reliable results and prevents rate limiting from WHOIS servers. For bulk domain age checking needs, you can check domains sequentially, and we're working on a bulk lookup feature for the future.
How to find when a domain expires? â–ŧ
Simply enter the domain name in our checker above and click "Check Age". The results will show the expiration date prominently, along with the number of days until expiry. This is useful for: (1) Monitoring your own domains for renewal, (2) Checking competitor domains, (3) Finding potentially expiring domains to acquire, (4) Due diligence before purchasing a domain.
What is WHOIS information? â–ŧ
WHOIS (pronounced "who is") is a query and response protocol used to look up information about domain name registrations. It was created in the 1980s and provides a directory of domain ownership and technical information. While privacy protection has limited some personal data, you can still find registration dates, registrar information, name servers, and domain status through WHOIS lookups.
What are nameservers? â–ŧ
Nameservers are specialized servers that handle DNS (Domain Name System) queries for a domain. They translate human-readable domain names (like google.com) into IP addresses that computers use. When you see nameservers like "ns1.example.com", they indicate which servers are authoritative for that domain's DNS records. Nameservers are typically provided by your web hosting company or a dedicated DNS service.
