Public signal checker
Domain Age Checker
This checker uses RDAP when available to put domain registration information into a neutral timeline context.
The check uses public live signals and does not make a security, malware, fraud or legal verdict.

- HTTP
- DNS
- TLS
- RDAP
- Archive
What this checker analyzes
- Registration date, expiration date, registrar and domain status from RDAP when available.
- Nameserver signals from RDAP or DNS fallback.
- A comparison between domain registration date and first known archive signal.
Why it matters
- Domain age can help explain ownership handovers, rebuilds and website history questions.
- Comparing age with archive traces helps avoid confusing an old domain with an old current website.
What the results mean
- Registration date is a registry signal, not proof of current ownership history.
- Unavailable means the registry did not expose the field or the source failed.
- A large gap between registration and archive history is context, not a warning by itself.
Limits of this check
- Not every registry publishes the same RDAP fields.
- Personal RDAP/WHOIS contact data is not displayed.
- Domain age is not a trust score.
What should also be reviewed manually?
Review notable values in the context of the actual website, its subpages and connected services. A homepage check cannot prove the complete configuration, legal position or security posture.
FAQ
Does an old domain mean a website is trustworthy?
No. A domain can change hands or be rebuilt. Age is only one context signal.
