Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The site presents a professional storefront for a residential and commercial fencing contractor. It lists service offerings (vinyl, chain-link, aluminum, steel, custom wood fences, gates, railings), includes a call-to-action for free quotes, and displays contact information. The page title and meta description accurately reflect the business. No login forms, countdown timers, or push-notification spam are present.

Infrastructure

The domain uses valid SSL encryption (Google Trust Services issuer, 49 days to expiry). Hosting IP 162.159.134.42 has a clean abuse score (0/100) with only 6 historical abuse reports—well within normal range for a shared hosting environment. No redirects or homoglyph tricks detected.

Domain History

Registered 8,218 days ago (approximately 22.5 years), placing registration in the early 2000s. The registrar is GoDaddy.com, LLC, with privacy protection disabled—typical for established local businesses. The domain has been tracked by traffic-ranking services since at least 2011.

Web Reputation

Zero detections across our antivirus network (0/94 engines) and browser blocklists. Independent review aggregators confirm BBB accreditation (A+ rating), positive Houzz reviews (5/5 overall), Yelp testimonials praising installation quality, and membership in the American Fence Association and Redford Chamber of Commerce. No scam reports, complaints, or fraud allegations found in any search.

Risk Factors
3
  • No postal address displayed on the website itself (though business registration confirms a physical location in Redford, MI).
  • Hosting IP has 6 historical abuse reports, though current abuse score is clean.
  • Site is not indexed in global traffic rankings, consistent with a local service business with limited online reach.
Positive Signals
5
  • Domain registered 22+ years ago with consistent ownership history.
  • BBB-accredited business with A+ rating and active membership in professional associations.
  • Multiple independent review platforms (Houzz, Yelp, Angi) confirm positive customer feedback and professional service.
  • Business registration verified as active since 1892 with documented physical address and owner name.
  • Contact details (phone, email, social media) are consistent, traceable, and match business registration records.
AI Recommendation
This site is safe to contact for fence installation quotes. Call the listed phone number or use the contact form to request a free estimate. Verify the business address and BBB rating independently if desired, though all available evidence confirms legitimacy.

We searched scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, and general web sources for anchorfenceonline.com and found zero scam reports or complaints. Instead, the search returned three independent positive reviews: a 5-star Houzz rating, a Yelp testimonial praising installation quality, and confirmation of BBB A+ accreditation.

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 anchorfenceonline.com and not a lookalike like a-nchorfenceonline.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.

  • Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review found no threat indicators on anchorfenceonline.com. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
  • anchorfenceonline.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 86/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
  • Yes. anchorfenceonline.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, expiring in 49 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • anchorfenceonline.com is 22.5 years old, registered on 12/8/2003 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

  • No. anchorfenceonline.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • anchorfenceonline.com resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (usage type: Content Delivery Network). 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.
  • This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 9, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around anchorfenceonline.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
