Is adition.com a scam?

Our automated security review found no threat indicators on adition.com. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.

Is adition.com safe to use?

adition.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 97/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.

Does adition.com have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes. adition.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YR1, expiring in 79 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.

How old is the adition.com domain?

adition.com is 24.1 years old, registered on 5/30/2002 through InterNetX GmbH. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

Has adition.com been flagged by antivirus engines?

No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report adition.com as clean.

Is adition.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No. adition.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.

Where is adition.com hosted?

adition.com resolves to an IP operated by HostPress GmbH, Kossmannstr. 7, 66571 Eppelborn in DE (usage type: Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.

Is adition.com a well-known website?

Yes. adition.com sits in the global top-100k on Cloudflare Radar, which means it has substantial real-world traffic. That does not automatically make it safe, but established brands almost always rank here and throwaway scam domains almost never do.

Our analysis confirms it is part of the Virtual Minds group, a well-known German technology company owned by the major media conglomerate ProSiebenSat.1. The site serves as a corporate portal for their ad-serving and programmatic solutions rather than a consumer-facing shop. Technical scans show no malicious activity, and the infrastructure is professionally managed with valid security certifications.

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

Double-check the exact URL in your address bar
Confirm you are actually on adition.com and not a lookalike like a-dition.com.com or an IDN homoglyph.
Use a password manager
Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.
