Google never openly claimed that domain age affects SEO, but some SEO specialists believe it to be true. However, it’s likely connected to the domain authority an older domain has accumulated over the course of its existence.
Older domain names with a history can often be more expensive than those that have never been registered before.
Since newly registered domains are prone to being used for cybercrime, they are often treated with additional scrutiny. WhoisXML API even offers predictive threat intelligence feeds dedicated exclusively to them. Older domains are not scrutinized in this way.
Domain age refers to the amount of time that has passed since a domain name (like example.com) was first registered. It’s essentially how "old" a domain is.
Note: Domain age and website age are not the same. A domain can remain the same over time, but the website associated with it can change — for example, if the domain is sold to a new owner and another website is launched. In this case, the domain name age and the latest website age would be different.
To know if ownership changes ever happened, you can look up the domain history.
Our domain name age checker provides you with three key data points for any one domain name:
If you want to check multiple domains at once, we recommend that you use our bulk WHOIS tools.
No, the domain age in the WHOIS record cannot be manipulated.
However, there are some situations where it can be tricky:
It’s calculated based on the domain registration date, which is a part of its WHOIS record.
WhoisXML API has been offering WHOIS lookups for over 13 years and has a vast suite of online tools that can provide you with all possible domain details.
Probably not that important. In 2019, John Mueller, Google’s Search Advocate, said, “No, domain age helps nothing.” That means it’s likely not a search engine ranking factor, even though one cannot be completely sure.
What matters more for SEO is how the domain has been used over time — high-quality content, strong backlinks, good user experience, and consistent updates carry far more weight than how long the domain has existed. A new domain with a solid SEO strategy can outperform an older one that hasn’t been well maintained.
However, attracting quality backlinks usually takes time, so older domains have a higher chance of having accumulated high domain authority thanks to being active for a while.
Yes, aged domains are often more expensive, but not just because they’re old. The factors that influence the price are the established reputation and trust, the SEO authority built over time, monetization potential, and scarcity (if the domain name is short or catchy, it’s going to cost more).
