About this tool
The Domain Age Checker extracts the creation date of a domain from registry data through the APIVoid Domain Age API and expresses the age in days, months and years, with a warning when the domain is less than three months old. It is faster and cleaner than reading a full whois record and works for the vast majority of TLDs.
Fraud teams use it on sender and sign-up domains; buyers use it to assess the history of a domain before purchase. For more information, such as domain registrar, owner country (when available), status and name servers see the Whois Lookup.

Frequently asked questions
Why does domain age matter?
Phishing and scam sites are typically registered days before use and abandoned soon after. A domain that is a few days or weeks old deserves far more suspicion than one registered years ago.
The creation date cannot be found
Some registries (several country-code TLDs) do not publish creation dates, and heavy rate limiting can hide them temporarily. The full Whois Lookup may still show other dates.
Does a domain reset its age when it changes owner?
Only if it expired and was re-registered; a transfer between owners keeps the original creation date.
