What is domain age?
Domain age is the time since a domain name was first registered, taken from the creation date in its WHOIS record. It does not reset when the domain is renewed or moved to another registrar.
Does domain age help SEO?
Age on its own is not a ranking factor. Older domains often rank well because they have had years to collect content and links, not because of the date itself.
Why does the age look wrong for a domain I just bought?
If you bought an existing domain from someone else, the creation date stays with the domain. If a domain expired and was deleted, it gets a new creation date when it is registered again.
Why is no creation date shown?
Some country registries (for example several European ones) do not publish dates in public WHOIS. In that case we show the raw record so you can see what the registry does share.
