What is WHOIS?

WHOIS is a query and response protocol used to access databases that store information about registered domain names, IP addresses, and autonomous systems. When you perform a WHOIS lookup, you can find details like domain registration date, expiration date, registrar information, and nameservers. This information is publicly available for most domains.

Domain Age and SEO

While domain age alone isn't a major ranking factor, it correlates with several important SEO elements:

  • Older domains have had more time to build quality backlinks
  • Established domains typically have more indexed content
  • Aged domains may have accumulated domain authority
  • Search engines see consistency in older, maintained domains
  • Historical trust signals accumulate over time

Domain Valuation Factors

Privacy and WHOIS

Many domain registrars offer WHOIS privacy protection (also called domain privacy or WHOIS guard) which replaces your personal contact information with generic registrar information. While this protects your privacy, the domain registration and expiry dates remain publicly visible.
