Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about domain age and its significance.
Does domain age affect SEO rankings?
Domain age alone is not a direct Google ranking factor, but older domains often have more backlinks, established authority, and trust signals that indirectly benefit SEO. A brand-new domain needs to build credibility over time through quality content and links, which is why aged domains are sometimes valued higher.
How is domain age calculated?
Domain age is calculated from the original registration date found in the WHOIS database to the current date. This gives the total time since the domain was first registered with a registrar. The creation date is typically set when the domain is first purchased and does not change even if the domain is transferred between registrars.
Can a domain's creation date change?
The original creation date generally does not change when a domain is transferred between registrars. However, if a domain expires, goes through the redemption period, and is deleted from the registry, a new registration will have a new creation date. Some registries may also reset the date under specific circumstances.
Why can't the tool find the age of some domains?
Some domain registries restrict or limit WHOIS data access. Country-code TLDs (ccTLDs) in particular may have different WHOIS policies. Additionally, some registrars use privacy protection services that may obscure certain fields. If the creation date cannot be parsed from the WHOIS response, the age cannot be calculated.
