Data is read live from each domain's public registration record (RDAP), the modern replacement for WHOIS, cached for 24 hours per domain. Single and bulk checks share the same limit of 20 domain lookups per hour per visitor. Some country-specific domains restrict or omit registration dates entirely, in which case this tool cannot report an age for them.

Vetting a domain listed for sale.
Domain age is context, not a ranking factor. Here is where it helps.
| Situation | What to look for |
|---|---|
| Buying an existing domain | Real registration date, clean status, no recent ownership changes |
| Link building outreach | Very new domains may be spam networks or expired-domain sites |
| Spotting scams and phishing | Shops or banks on domains only days or weeks old are a red flag |
| Managing your own portfolio | Expiry dates and auto-renew status so nothing lapses |
| Competitor research | How long a competitor has been established online |
Losing a domain to a missed renewal can take a business offline overnight.
