Where the dates come from

RDAP is the registries' replacement for WHOIS: a public lookup that answers in a fixed format. For .com and .net we ask Verisign's RDAP server directly. For other endings we look up the registry's RDAP server in IANA's bootstrap list (data.iana.org/rdap/dns.json). We show the registration, expiry and last-changed dates and the registrar exactly as the registry gives them.

Some endings, including several country codes such as .io and .co, have no RDAP server in IANA's list. For those we say so and link IANA's page for the ending, which names the registry and its WHOIS server. We never read "no RDAP server" as "not registered".

The age is counted from the registration date the registry holds now. A domain that expired and was registered again starts over, so a young age does not always mean a young business.

Using domain age for prospecting

A business whose domain is 15 years old but whose site has not been updated in years is a good web design prospect. An expiry date coming up soon is worth a friendly mention.

Questions

How do I find out how old a domain is?

Look up its registration date in RDAP or WHOIS. This tool asks the registry over RDAP and works out the age from that date.

Why does a .io or .co domain show no data?

Their registries run no RDAP server listed by IANA. We say so instead of guessing; check the registry's own WHOIS.

Can I check many domains at once?

Yes, up to 20, separated by spaces, commas or new lines.

Does a 404 mean the domain is free?

Usually, when the registry's own RDAP server says it has no record. Confirm at a registrar before you plan on it.
