Domain Registration

Domain age check

How long ago the domain was registered. Very new domains are treated with more suspicion by spam filters.

Check this on your own domain now. It is free with a DomainGuard account and works on any domain. The check reads only what your domain publishes, and gives you a report you can send to whoever runs your website.

What we look at

We read the registration date from the registry.

Why it matters to your business

Mail filters and security tools trust young domains less, because phishing so often uses freshly registered ones. For your own established domain this is reassurance; a new domain should warm up its sending slowly.

How to fix it

  1. Nothing to fix on an established domain.
  2. On a new domain, set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC before sending, and increase volume gradually.

If you would rather not touch DNS or server settings yourself, forward this page and your report to whoever manages your website, or ask us to do it.

Check your own site for this

A free outside-in check of your website, email and domain records, with what to fix first. No card and no password to choose.

Free, no card, no password to choose: your name and email make a free DomainGuard account that keeps the report, and we email you a link to confirm it. We only read what the internet can already see.
