Hey Warriors,

I did a search on past threads to find related posts on domain age checker but found
none.

Anybody has experience with the domain age tools you find on the internet
how to check domain age - Google Search

How reliable are they and what's the most accurate way to determine the age of a domain name?

Thanks

Joel

    All domain age tools are pretty much the same, and reliable. You can also check the history of a domain at archive.org.

    Have you tried Betterwhois.com? If you want to see how the site looked in the past, in case it's changed hands, use Wayback machine as Gene says at Archive.org

    Betterwhois.com is great. Just used it to check on the site age and registration addresses of some of my competitors

    Thanks guys. I settled with whois.com which shows the actual date domain was purchased and date of expiry. It's more clear cut in this manner.

    Hi,

    I have a question about domain age. I noticed that if you check a domains age on way back machine & it says e.g. 9 years, then if you register it & check it again it now says 'unable to determine'. Does this mean that if you sell the domain you can no longer say that it is 9 years old? It seems that the age resets once it has been re-registered.

    Thanks.

      To check the age of a domain name. To see how long it has been registered by someone. Aged domain names can help boost your position in Google, all else being equal.

        There can be aged domains with 0 backlinks, but that doesnt necessarly mean that you will have a benefit from domains like this.

        The aged domains from which you can have a benefiet are the domains that also have a lot of backlinks aquired in that time.

    With or without back links, aged domain names have more value over new domains, as evidenced by the marketplace. In most cases it's an overinflated perception that causes the higher market price on aged domains, but it's an undeniable stat.

    I don't get false information while checking domain age, I use any tool from Google search, but mainly comes SEOlog something, it has higher ranking and it gives accurate result.
