Find Out How Old a Domain Really Is
Fraudo.io’s Domain Age Checker gives you the facts, fast. Just type in a domain, and you’ll
instantly see when it was first registered, along with registrar and WHOIS details.
Knowing how long a domain has been around can help you figure out if it’s trustworthy. That’s a
big deal when you’re reviewing email addresses, checking signups, or spotting shady traffic.
Why Domain Age Can Signal Risk
Domains created in the last 24 to 48 hours often raise red flags. Many are used for quick-hit
scams, phishing sites, spam emails, or disposable accounts that vanish before anyone catches on.
Let’s say a customer signs up with an email tied to a domain registered this morning. That’s
worth checking out. It could be harmless but it could also be a fraudster trying to slip past
your defenses.
Fraudo.io helps you catch these red flags early by showing you:
- Domain registration date
- WHOIS and ownership data
With that info, you can decide whether to trust, flag, or block the domain.
Built for Real-Time Checks
Our tool doesn’t just show you static data, it works in real time. You get the domain’s creation
date, last update, and expiration, so you can see whether something looks off. And if the
domain’s tied to known abuse, you’ll see that too.
This tool is especially useful when you're screening new users, approving transactions, or
reviewing email addresses. It adds a quick, reliable step to your process that could save you a
lot of cleanup later.
Seamless API Integration
Want to plug domain age checks into your platform? The Fraudo.io API makes it easy. It’s fast,
developer-friendly, and built to work behind the scenes without slowing you down.
With the API, you can instantly flag domains that are too new, tied to fake emails, or showing
signs of suspicious updates. That means better data, cleaner signups, and stronger protection.
Why Are New Domains Suspicious?
Fraudsters love fresh domains. They register them, run scams, and move on, usually before anyone
can respond. Most of these domains don’t last more than a week, and many are taken down within
48 hours.
That’s why watching domain age is smart. If you’re only trusting domains that have been around,
say, six months or longer, you’re cutting out a huge chunk of potential threats.
How Domain Age Affects Trust
Search engines look at it. So do email providers. Even payment platforms use it as a trust
signal.
Older domains usually mean more credibility. If you’ve been around a while, your domain carries
more weight. On the other hand, new domains especially ones created just days ago tend to be
treated with caution. And for good reason.
Try It Yourself
Want to see how old a domain is? Just enter it in the checker above. You’ll get instant results

shady behavior.
Fraudo.io makes it easy to verify domain trust at a glance. Use it when vetting signups,
scanning suspicious traffic, or building smarter fraud filters.
