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
Accessing a website via a raw IP address (45.148.124.184) instead of a domain name is a significant red flag. Legitimate businesses almost always use registered domains to build brand trust and SEO. Our analysis shows this IP belongs to a hosting provider whose network exhibits an 18% spam rate. Furthermore, the lack of an SSL certificate and any business registration data suggests this is not a secure or professional environment. The presence of a recent spam report linked to this specific IP further increases the risk.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The site is being accessed directly via its IP address, which bypasses standard domain-based security and reputation checks. There is no evidence of a legitimate storefront, service, or brand presence at this address.

Infrastructure

The IP is hosted by PureVoltage Hosting in the United States. The surrounding network block is frequently associated with automated abuse, including brute-force attacks and email spam. The absence of an SSL certificate means any data sent to this page is unencrypted.

Domain History

There is no WHOIS data or domain registration history because no domain is being used. This 'naked IP' setup is often used for short-lived malicious operations to avoid the cost and traceability of registering a domain name.

Web Reputation

While major antivirus engines have not yet blacklisted this specific IP, it has appeared in spam databases as recently as June 2026. Independent research shows no positive business reputation or consumer reviews.
