These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Confidence
The scan hit an IP address rather than a normal domain name. Three engines marked the IP suspicious while the rest stayed clean. The hosting provider 31173 Services AB shows a 4% spam rate across its network, and several IPs in the same /24 block carry hundreds of abuse reports. No scam reports or complaints target this specific address. The combination of suspicious flags plus the provider's spam reputation raises caution even without direct evidence of malicious content.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The URL resolves to a bare IP address with no domain name attached. No page title, description, or visible content was captured, indicating either an empty response or a non-functional endpoint.

Infrastructure

The IP belongs to range 185.213.155.0/24 operated by 31173 Services AB (AS39351) in Frankfurt, Germany. The provider offers colocation and transit services and maintains an active Swedish business registration since 2006. SSL is unavailable and no redirects occurred.

Domain History

No WHOIS data exists because the target is an IP address, not a registered domain. The hosting provider itself has operated since February 2006.

Web Reputation

Our antivirus network returned zero confirmed malicious detections and three suspicious flags from GreyNoise, Gridinsoft, and SOCRadar. The broader AS39351 network shows 696 detected spam IPs and a 4.31% spam rate. Nearby addresses in the same range have received thousands of abuse reports on public blocklists. No scam reports or consumer complaints reference 185.213.155.194 specifically.

What this means for you

Bare IPs without domains are rarely used by legitimate consumer services. The surrounding network's spam history and the suspicious engine flags suggest the address could be part of transient or abusive infrastructure. Avoid entering any credentials or downloading files from this IP.
