Domain Age Checker & WHOIS Lookup
Registration date, expiry, registrar, DNS, email security and history for any domain, with a plain-English health check. Free, no ads, no captcha.
- Official registry data
- Compare up to 20 domains
- Nothing stored or logged
Everything about a domain in one lookup
Most tools make you run WHOIS, DNS and email checks separately, behind ads and captchas. Domain Snapshot asks each authoritative source directly and puts the answers on one page.
Age and registration
Created, expiry and last-changed dates, registrar, DNSSEC and transfer lock, from the registry's RDAP record.
Health check
Expiry, lock, name servers, SPF, DMARC and history scored, with a one-line reason for every check.
Side-by-side compare
Paste up to 20 domains and get one table with age, expiry, registrar and email security. Download it as CSV.
Ownership history
First Wayback Machine capture, flagged when the site predates its registration: a sign of a previous owner.
Frequently asked questions
How do I find out how old a domain is?
Enter it above. The registration date comes from the domain registry's RDAP service, the official successor to WHOIS, and the age is counted from that date.
What is RDAP?
RDAP (Registration Data Access Protocol) is the structured, official replacement for WHOIS. ICANN requires registries and registrars of generic domains such as .com, .net and .org to provide it. A few country domains (for example .io and .es) don't publish it yet, so their registration details can't be shown.
What does a DMARC policy of none, quarantine or reject mean?
DMARC tells receiving mail servers what to do with email that fails authentication for your domain: none only monitors, quarantine sends it to spam, and reject blocks it. Without an enforced policy, others can more easily send email pretending to be your domain.
Why is the first Wayback Machine capture older than the registration date?
A domain that expired and was registered again gets a new registration date, but the Internet Archive keeps captures from its earlier life. A first capture years before the registration date usually means the domain had a previous owner, which matters when buying an aged or expired domain.
How is the health score calculated?
It's the share of checks that pass: expiry more than 90 days away, a registrar transfer lock, at least two name servers, the domain resolving, a valid SPF record, an enforced DMARC policy and a clean ownership history. Informational items such as DNSSEC and IPv6 are shown but not scored.
Can I check several domains at once?
Yes. Paste up to 20 domains separated by spaces, commas or new lines to get a side-by-side comparison you can download as CSV. For thousands of domains, plus SSL certificate and website status, use Domain Intelligence on Apify (about $5 per 1,000 domains).
