Find out exactly how old any domain is — registration date plus age in years, months and total days. Pulled live from the authoritative RDAP registry, not a third-party cache.
Domain age is one of many signals search engines use to assess trust. Older domains, all else equal, tend to rank slightly easier — they've had more time to accumulate backlinks, build a content footprint, and avoid being flagged as new spam. Knowing a competitor's domain age helps you set realistic expectations: a five-year-old site competing against a fifteen-year-old incumbent has work to do.
Enter a domain. The tool calls the rdap.org RDAP endpoint, which proxies the request to the authoritative TLD registry (Verisign for .com, IN Registry for .in, etc.). The response includes the registration date; the tool calculates age in years, months and total days from there.
Use it when valuing a domain you're considering buying, when researching a competitor's age relative to yours, when investigating a suspicious site (very new domains are common for phishing), and when planning realistic SEO timelines for a new project.
Domain age alone doesn't make a site rank — content, links, and on-page SEO matter far more. But for high-stakes purchases (premium domains, dropped expired domains), age plus link history (via Wayback Machine and Ahrefs) is essential due diligence.
Slightly. Age correlates with trust, but quality content and backlinks matter much more. A new domain with great content will outrank an old empty one.
From the RDAP registration date to today. Domains can be registered, expire, drop, and be re-registered — the latest registration date is what counts.
Some registries redact dates under privacy policies. Most major TLDs (.com, .net, .in, .uk) publish them.
