There's a few ways to do this,
- Using Online Tools
There are various online tools available that provide information about domain age. Here are a few popular ones:
Whois Lookup Tools: These tools provide comprehensive information about a domain, including its registration date. Some popular Whois lookup websites are:

2. Manually Using Command Line
For those comfortable with using the command line, you can use a command to query the Whois database.
On Windows:
Open Command Prompt.
Type the following command:
shell
Copy code
whois example.com
Look for the "Creation Date" in the output.
On Mac/Linux:
Open Terminal.
Type the following command:
shell
Copy code
whois example.com
Look for the "Creation Date" in the output.
3. Using Python Script
You can also write a Python script to check domain age using the whois library.
python
Copy code
import whois
domain = whois.whois('example.com')
print(f"Domain creation date: {domain.creation_date}")
Steps:
Install the whois library if you haven't already:
shell
Copy code
pip install python-whois
Run the script with the desired domain name.
4. Browser Extensions
There are browser extensions available for quick checks directly from your web browser. Examples include:
SEOquake: Provides domain age along with other SEO metrics.
MozBar: Shows various SEO metrics including domain age.
By using any of these methods, you can easily find out the age of a domain.
Hope this helps!
