How to read your domain age checker report

With our bulk domain age checker, you get several pieces of information, including:

Domain name

Domain name is the name of the domain, like apple.com for Apple or google.com for Google.

Expiration date

Expiration date states when a domain name will expire.

If the domain name owner does not renew the domain name, the domain name will be available to purchase. For example, in 2015, someone purchased Google’s domain name for $12 — Google later bought it back for $12,000, which the buyer donated to charity.

Age

With the age portion of your report, you can get an instant answer to, "How old is this website?" Age summarizes a domain's age, including its number of years, months, and days. If you like nitty-gritty details, skip to this section of your report.

Creation date

Creation date summarizes when a website was created, listing the date and time.

Date is formatted as year, month, and day or YYYY-MM-DD, while time follows a 12-hour clock format.

Update date

Update date reveals when the owner renewed the domain name. It includes both the date and time. Like creation date, this part of the domain age checker report uses the 12-hour clock format for time and displays the date as year, month, and day.

Additional details

You can use the additional details section to access a variety of data, including:

  1. Registry domain ID
  2. Registrar WHOIS server
  3. Registrar URL
  4. Domain status
  5. And more

Why use a bulk domain age checker tool?

A bulk domain age checker tool (like ours) can help you get fast answers to questions like:

  • How old is this website?
  • When was this website created?
  • When does this website’s domain name expire?

For example, did you know that www.apple.com is older than Google? The domain name was created more than 30 years ago, while www.google.com made its debut a few years after Apple launched its website.

While you can use a website age checker to get fun facts about well-known brands, it’s also helpful for companies looking to compete with competitors online in search results. You can use domain age, for example, as a part of a competitor analysis for search engine optimization (SEO).
