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 URL points directly to an IP address rather than a domain name, which is highly unusual for legitimate services. The IP belongs to Excitel Broadband Private Limited, a residential ISP in India, and our research found no hosted domains, no business entity registered at this specific address, and no indexed web content. While the ASN itself has a history of abuse (common for residential ISPs where customers can misuse the network), this particular IP has no scam reports, no detections in our antivirus network, and no complaints in public databases. The absence of a domain name, combined with residential ISP hosting and zero web presence, suggests either abandoned infrastructure, a test environment, or a temporary setup — none of which are typical of established legitimate businesses.

Analysis complete

Page Content

No indexed content found. The URL is a bare IP address with no domain name, which prevents normal web indexing and suggests the site is either not actively served, not intended for public use, or deliberately obscured.

Infrastructure

Hosted on IP 45.118.158.94, allocated to AS133982 (Excitel Broadband Private Limited), an Indian residential broadband provider. No SSL certificate detected. No WHOIS registration data available for this specific IP allocation.

Domain History

No domain name is registered for this IP. The IP is a dynamic or customer allocation within the ISP's residential network range (45.118.158.0/24), not a dedicated business hosting block.

Web Reputation

Clean scan from our antivirus network (0/92 engines flagged). No scam reports, complaints, or positive reviews found in public databases. The ASN has a high volume of reported malicious domains historically, but this is typical of residential ISPs where customers can abuse the network; this specific IP has no documented abuse.

Risk Factors
5
  • Bare IP address instead of a registered domain — legitimate businesses operate under domain names.
  • Hosted on residential broadband ISP, not business-class hosting — suggests temporary or non-commercial use.
  • No indexed web content or business presence — no evidence of an active, public-facing service.
  • No business registration or entity details associated with this specific IP address.
  • ASN has historical abuse reports, though this particular IP is clean.
Positive Signals
4
  • Clean antivirus scan across our network (0 detections).
  • No scam reports or complaints found in public databases.
  • No evidence of phishing, malware, or credential harvesting.
  • Not flagged by major browser blocklists.
AI Recommendation
Do not enter payment details or personal information. If you reached this IP by accident, it is likely not a legitimate service. If you intended to visit a specific business, verify the correct domain name and use that instead.
