# `new_domain`: the domain was registered under 180 days ago

The registration is between 30 and 179 days old — past its first month, not yet an established domain.

- Weight: +10
- Dataset: rdap-registration
- Read from: `domain_age_days`
- Verdict reasons it comes with: none — a score-only signal

Exclusive with young_domain: under 30 days that weight applies, from 30 to 179 days this one, older or unknown ages nothing. Registration facts are read for business domains only.

It reads from domain_age_days and comes with no verdict reason.

**What to do.** A hint rather than a verdict: a six-month-old company mails from a domain this age.
