1999 Registered Domain Question?

[reggy]

Hello,
I used to own a domain name which i registered in 1999, let it go in 2000/2001, was re-registered by someone else for maybe another year or two but its now DEAD

Theres is no listing of the domain in google,yahoo or msn

All whois records show the domain as being available

The only thing that lists the domain is the wayback machine (archive.org) which shows some archives in 1999,2000, 2001 and finally 2003

What i would like to know is if i re-register it today, would the creation date be 1999 or would it be 2007?

Do the SEs look at the wayback machine records?

Thank You!

"would the creation date be 1999 or would it be 2007"

2007

Venice - thanks for the reply - do you know have any idea if the SEs check in the wayback machine?

They don't.

No way it would ever be an accurate reference - lots of websites block the archiver bot.
