Age of website

[Phil]

Is there any free service or utility way to find out how long a particular website has been online? Some kind of resource to find a month/year of activation or anything?

And no snippy “if only google had a search box!” answers…I don’t want an engine to compile me a list of 600,000,000,000,000 options…I want to know something that somebody himself/herself has used and used successfully.

Thanks in advance; this is for a noble cause.

You could try the web archive to get a vague idea, but I can’t think of a specific site that details this type of stuff.

[Phil]

Web archive had nothing…that was one of the few tools I’m aware of.

It’s possible the site in question is very young (as in under a year)–in which case WayBack might not be able to help–but, for all I know, it’s equally possible that it’s been around for half a decade.

What’s the site? Somebody here may happen to know the answer.

[Phil]

I can guarantee it’s not a site anyone here will have pre-existing knowledge of. But if somebody who hangs around has faith in their ability to research such a thing, let me know and I’ll PM you the URL.
