What is the Domain Age & Expiry Checker?
The age of a domain says a lot about it: brands and trustworthy sites tend to be years old, while scam and spam domains are often only days or weeks old. Enter any domain and this checker shows its registration date, exact age in years and months, expiry date with a countdown, the date it was last changed and the sponsoring registrar.
It also lists the domain's status codes, its name servers and whether DNSSEC is enabled, and if a domain is not registered it tells you it appears to be available. Results come live from RDAP, the Registration Data Access Protocol that has replaced WHOIS, straight from the official registries into your browser. Owner names and contact details are often redacted for privacy, but the dates are public.

Questions people ask
What is RDAP?
The Registration Data Access Protocol, a modern, standardised replacement for WHOIS that returns structured data.
Why can I not see the owner?
Registries and registrars redact personal data to comply with privacy laws such as GDPR.
Does a new domain mean a scam?
Not always, but a very new domain claiming to be an established business is a red flag.
Why does a lookup fail for some domains?
Some domain endings do not support RDAP or do not allow browser lookups; .com, .net and .org work reliably.
How do I know if a domain is available?
If the lookup says unregistered, check with a registrar — availability can differ for premium or reserved names.
