How old is this domain?

Registration date, expiry, registrar, status and nameservers, straight from the registry's RDAP service, plus what the domain's age means for how its email is treated.

01 Why age matters

Young domains start with no trust.

Reputation is built from history, and a new domain has none. Receivers know most phishing and spam runs on freshly registered names.

The first month

Mail from a days-old domain is scrutinised hardest. Send to people who expect it, at low volume, and let replies build a record.

The first few months

Reputation grows with steady, wanted mail. Sudden jumps in volume from a young domain look like a spam run starting.

RDAP, not WHOIS

RDAP is the registries' structured successor to WHOIS. It returns the same registration facts as clean data, from the authoritative source.

How do I check when a domain was registered?+
Enter it above. We ask the registry's RDAP service, the official successor to WHOIS, for the registration event and show the date with the domain's exact age.
Why doesn't my domain show a registration date?+
Some registries, mostly country-code domains, don't publish RDAP yet or omit the registration event. That says nothing bad about the domain; the data just isn't available that way.
How long until a new domain has a good reputation?+
There's no fixed clock. Expect the first few weeks to be the most fragile and things to settle over two to three months of consistent, wanted mail, faster if recipients reply and slower if they mark mail as spam.
Does registrant privacy hurt email?+
No. Privacy services hide personal contact details, which is normal and expected. Receivers look at the domain's age and mail history, not at who owns it.
