Are you trying to find out when a domain was created or how old a website is? Whether you're researching for SEO, buying a domain, or assessing the trustworthiness of a website, knowing a domain's age can be extremely valuable.
At BrandWhois.com, we've developed a brand new, free tool that instantly tells you when a domain name was registered, when it will expire, and how old it is — in a clean and simple interface.
🆕 What Is the Domain Age Checker Tool?
The Domain Age Checker is a web-based tool that fetches real-time WHOIS data to calculate:
The creation date of the domain
The expiration date of the domain
The exact age in years, months, and days
A human-readable expiry status (e.g., “123 days remaining” or “Expired 5 days ago”)
This tool is especially useful for:
SEO experts evaluating domain authority
Business owners checking credibility of suppliers
Buyers verifying domain value before purchase
Bloggers & webmasters planning long-term partnerships
💡 Why Is Domain Age Important?
Domain age is often used as a trust signal by search engines and people. Older domains are typically more trustworthy and established. They may:
Have more backlinks
Be less risky for business relationships
Indicate genuine long-term ownership
Many SEO tools display domain age, but they charge you for it. Ours is completely free, fast, and easy to use.
🛠️ How the Tool Works (Under the Hood)
When you enter a domain name (like example.com) into the form, the tool sends a secure request to our backend script written in PHP. It uses the open-source phpWhois library to perform a WHOIS lookup.
From this raw WHOIS data, it extracts:
The domain creation date
The domain expiration date
Then calculates how many years, months, and days the domain has existed
If applicable, it tells you how many days are left before expiry, or how long it has been expired
It then shows you a friendly result like:
"example.com is 5 years, 3 months, and 12 days old. It will expire in 287 days."
🧪 How to Use the Domain Age Checker
Using the tool is simple:
Go to BrandWhois.com/whois-domain-age
Enter any domain (e.g., twitter.com) into the search box
Click "Check Age"
Instantly get the domain’s creation date, expiry date, age, and expiry status
The tool works with all major TLDs, including .com, .net, .org, .io, .co, and country-specific domains like .uk, .de, etc.
🔐 Is This Tool Safe and Accurate?
Yes — it does not store any user data and only queries public WHOIS databases in real time. It's built using open-source technologies and thoroughly tested.
Our WHOIS queries are handled securely on our server, and the tool supports most domains that make WHOIS data publicly available.
