I bought one expired domain with history started on 2008, checked with archive, but with the Whois search told me that was created on 2024.
This is the new registration date? But at Google eyes the domain its from 2008 or 2024?
 
What you're referring to might be the update date, not the creation date. That's why you could be seeing 2024.

From 2024, since it's already expired.
What's more important is the history and backlinks. Make sure there's no bad history or spammy backlinks.
 
Registration date does not always correlate with age of the domain.

The one in question was probably deleted and registered anew.

Search engines will probably treat it like brand new, blank domain for some time. Sandbox pretty much. But then the links will kick in later and it will regain it's old authority. This can take months

Make sure to not stray from original topic too much.
 
2024 date in Whois is just the new registration, but Google can still see the domain’s history from 2008 if it was active. If it was inactive or had issues, Google might focus more on the 2024 registration.

It's the update date not the creation date.
 
Reseller from BHW
well if the reseller got it from a backorder which is most likley that would mean the domain ran it life cycle and it was deleted and upon deletion the fastest registry caught it if one of it is clients placed a backorder on it that will count as a new registration you shouldn't put the value of the name based on such stat i will explain why

lets say two domains carry same stats two domains registered 20 years ago one was sold by it is owner the other was dropped and back ordered SEO wise they will carry the same SEO value regardless of what some 'domain age checker' shows
it is just a matter of how they were acquired

what I'm saying above is based on me being a SEO expired domains seller/shop for the past few years no client has ever cared that the domain i sold him showed one year on domain age checker

and is this a good thing or a bad thing?
 
I mean, that kind of domains it’s bad for seo?
like i said before a domain showing on domain age checker 1 year or 20 year is irrelevant all that matters that it has good stats a clean backlink profile and previous history of development/indexing

before i get attacked on this i mean a 20 year old domain that was dropped and registered again not comparing a year old aged domain to a 20 year old aged domain!

TLDR for you op it is not bad or good! it is irrelevant

Hi, jyciap11. When you buy an expired domain, the "creation date" shown on Whois is the re-registration date, not the original registration date. So, even though you see a registration date of 2024, the domain may have existed as early as 2008. On Google, the domain's history may cause it to show as 2008, because the search engine assesses the "age" of a site based on its content and history.
