The Email Age Checker That Reads Any Domain's Age in 2 Seconds.

Yes. You can run 4 checks per day from this page without an account. No card, no signup.

Create a free account and you get 1,000 checks on the spot, or 2,500 if your signup email is a work address. After that, credits are pay-as-you-go and never expire on any paid plan, with volume pricing shown for your region.

Paste the email address (or just the domain) into the field at the top of this page and run the check. In about two seconds you get the estimated domain age alongside the full per-check breakdown, so you can see at a glance whether the address sits on an established domain or a freshly registered one.

The age read folds into the overall verdict rather than standing alone. A long-lived domain with clean signals returns safe; a domain registered days ago, or one paired with disposable and catch-all patterns, returns risky. If you only need a single address verified at a time, the free email checker runs the very same engine.

Domain age is one of the cleanest legitimacy signals there is. Spammers, fraudsters, and throwaway-account farms churn through newly registered domains by the thousand, because a domain that gets burned this week is cheap to replace next week. A domain that has quietly existed for years, by contrast, represents a real investment somebody is unlikely to torch on abuse.

So the age of an email's domain is a strong proxy for risk. A brand-new domain on a signup form, a sales lead, or a payment is worth a second look, especially when it lines up with other red flags like a disposable domain or a poor domain reputation. Verifox surfaces all of those signals in one verdict.

Nine checks run in parallel every time you check an address or a domain, scoring both the domain and the mailbox behind it. Domain age is one of them:

• Domain age estimate and newly-registered-domain risk
• Syntax + format validation (RFC 5321 / 5322)
• Domain existence and MX record presence
• SMTP handshake and mailbox-exists ping
• Disposable-domain match
• Role-address detection
• Catch-all domain detection and AI-confidence scoring

The verdict folds the domain age estimate together with sender-reputation and blocklist risk so a fresh, throwaway-looking domain reads as risky before it ever reaches your funnel. To screen a domain's reputation specifically, the domain spam checker runs the very same engine.

Not always to the day, and we're honest about that. Plenty of domains hide their WHOIS records behind privacy services or registrar redaction, so a guaranteed creation date isn't available for every domain on earth. That is why Verifox treats domain age as an estimate and a risk signal, not a notarized timestamp.

Where the data is public, we read it directly. Where it is redacted, we lean on corroborating signals (DNS history, certificate history, MX and reputation posture) to place the domain into an age band. Either way the output that matters is the same: established and trustworthy, or new and worth scrutiny.

Yes, indirectly but meaningfully. Mailbox providers are wary of mail from domains with no track record, so a brand-new sending domain typically has to be warmed slowly before it earns inbox placement. Send at volume from a cold, freshly registered domain and a large share of that mail quietly routes to spam.

On the receiving side, the age of the domains you mail also matters. Lists padded with throwaway addresses on disposable, days-old domains bounce and generate complaints, which drags down your own sender reputation. Scrub every list with the free email checker first and you keep those risky domains out of your sending stream.

No. Addresses and domains are processed in memory and discarded the moment the check completes. Nothing logged, nothing retained, nothing sold.

We're SOC 2 Type II compliant with the full Trust Center report on request. Read the privacy policy for the byte-by-byte breakdown of what we touch and what we don't.

Yes. The free tier gives you 1,000 checks (2,500 if you sign up with a work email), so this doubles as a bulk domain age checker for most small lists outright.

For larger lists, our paid credit packs are pay-as-you-go and never expire, with pricing localized to your region on the pricing page. CSV upload, API access, and bulk parallel processing are included from the free tier up.

Median latency is around 380 ms for a single check, sub-50 ms for cached results. Bulk processing runs at roughly 10,000 checks per minute on the standard tier.

SLA is 99.9 % uptime on Starter, 99.99 % with an annual Volume contract. Full real-time uptime + incident history at status.verifox.ai. Implementation details in the API docs.

Yes. The REST API reference documents the inbound and outbound shapes for every endpoint, so you can drop real-time domain age and risk scoring into signup forms, CRMs, or any tool that speaks REST. HubSpot, Salesforce, Zapier, Klaviyo, Mailchimp, and Brevo all connect out of the box.

Verifox also ships native MCP server support so AI agents (Claude, Cursor, custom LLM apps) can score domain age without glue code. Drop the MCP URL into your agent config and the tools are wired. Credits are pay-as-you-go, never expire, and are refundable for the first 30 days, with full terms in the refund policy.
