About the Domain Age Checker
Shows the registration date and calculates the age of a domain, alongside the expiry date and the registrar.
Age itself is not a ranking factor, and Google has said as much. What correlates with age is everything that accumulates over time: links, mentions, crawl history and a track record. A ten-year-old domain that has sat parked has none of that and behaves like a new one.
Where the number is genuinely useful is due diligence on an expired domain. A long registration history with continuous use is worth something; one where the registrar changed six times in three years usually means the domain has been passed around for its link profile, and whatever value it had has probably been spent.
Common questions
Does an older domain rank higher automatically?
No — Google has said domain age itself isn't a ranking factor. What correlates with age is accumulated links, mentions and crawl history, which a parked old domain won't have.
Why would I check the age of an expired domain before buying it?
A long, continuous registration history with real prior use is worth something. A domain that changed registrars repeatedly in a short window has often been passed around purely for its link profile.
What's the difference between registration date and expiry date?
Registration date is when the domain was first created; expiry is when the current registration period ends. Neither tells you how long the domain has actually been in active use.
