Confidence

The domain serves as a delivery node for the iionads advertising platform, which is linked to the iion.io gaming ad network. Our analysis shows that while the parent company appears to be a real business, this specific subdomain and others like it are widely blocked by major browser blocklists and security filters. Several independent review aggregators have flagged these subdomains for high risk, citing proximity to phishing and malware delivery patterns. The domain has been active for over 1,300 days, which typically suggests stability, but the high volume of security detections across its infrastructure lowers our confidence. We found no evidence of direct malicious software on this specific URL, but its role in an automated ad-delivery chain makes it a frequent target for security blocks.

Full dossier

Analysis complete

Page Content

The URL does not host a traditional website; it is a technical endpoint for an ad-serving network. It is designed to process automated requests from other websites to display advertisements or track user engagement.

Infrastructure

The domain is hosted via NameCheap and uses privacy protection to hide its ownership details. It is part of a large cluster of subdomains (e.g., ads-2473g, ads-247e4) used for header bidding and real-time advertising auctions.

Domain History

Registered in November 2022, the domain has a significant operational history of nearly four years. This longevity is usually a positive sign, but in the context of ad networks, it can also indicate a long-standing infrastructure used for tracking.

Web Reputation

The reputation is highly polarized. While the main corporate site is often rated as legitimate, the 'ads-' subdomains are frequently blacklisted by community-driven security feeds and specialized phishing detectors due to the nature of the content they serve.

Risk Factors

Multiple security filters and blocklists flag this subdomain as a risk.
Independent review aggregators give the infrastructure a very low trust score (under 10/100).
Associated with '1Hosts' and other malware/ad-blocking databases.
The domain uses privacy services to hide ownership information.
Subdomain patterns are consistent with those used in automated phishing or redirect chains.

Positive Signals

The domain has been active for over 1,335 days.
Zero detections from 92 major antivirus engines in our current scan.
Linked to a verifiable business entity in the gaming advertising space.

AI Recommendation

Avoid interacting with this link directly. If you encountered it via a redirect, it is likely part of an automated ad network; ensure your browser's security settings are up to date.
