Investigation notes

Page Content

The captured page presents standard dental practice content including service descriptions, doctor profiles, and appointment booking information. The title identifies the site as East Cooper Dental serving Mount Pleasant, SC. Contact details include a local phone number (843-388-9894) but no email address appears on the page. The site loads external resources from Google Maps, Google Tag Manager, and Trustindex for review aggregation.

Infrastructure

The site resolves to IP 65.181.116.95 with a moderate abuse score of 56/100. SSL certificate is valid and issued by Let's Encrypt with 69 days remaining. No redirects occur and the domain shows no homoglyph or IDN manipulation. Zero of 92 antivirus engines flagged the URL.

Domain History

WHOIS records show registration on 2003-02-19 through GoDaddy with privacy protection disabled. The domain age of 23.4 years places it among established online properties rather than newly created scam infrastructure.

Web Reputation

Search evidence found two positive patient reviews on Birdeye and PatientConnect365. Business registration records confirm an active dental practice operated by Dr. James Warner since 2002. One complaint was noted but no scam reports or fraud allegations surfaced. The site appears in local business directories including Mount Pleasant Magazine.

What this means for you

The combination of long domain history, clean security scans, verified business registration, and authentic patient reviews indicates this is a legitimate dental practice website. The 403 error is a temporary server access restriction unrelated to security threats.

Recommendation
The site belongs to a legitimate dental practice. You can safely use the phone number listed to book appointments or visit the physical location in Mount Pleasant.

Technical Details

The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.

Contact Verification

We fetched the page and looked for real-world contact details. Legitimate businesses almost always publish an email on their own domain, a phone number, and a postal address. Scam shops usually don't.

What to do

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 charlestondentistry.com and not a lookalike like c-harlestondentistry.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, 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 charlestondentistry.com, so it appears legitimate. All 92 antivirus engines we queried report it clean, and the domain is 23.4 years old, registered on February 19, 2003 — established domains are far less likely to be scams. Even so, always double-check the exact address in your browser, because phishing emails routinely spoof real, trusted domains like this one.
  • charlestondentistry.com passed our automated checks with a trust score of 93/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged it at the time of the last scan, and its signals line up with an established, legitimate site. Treat any unexpected login prompt or payment request on it with the same caution you would anywhere.
  • Yes — and this is worth understanding. Even trustworthy domains get spoofed in phishing emails (a fake message that only looks like it's from charlestondentistry.com), and legitimate sites are occasionally compromised on specific pages. A clean verdict means the site itself checks out today; it does not mean every email or link claiming to be from charlestondentistry.com is genuine. Always reach the site by typing the address yourself rather than clicking links in unexpected messages.
  • No — all 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network currently report charlestondentistry.com as clean. That's a good sign, though antivirus coverage is only one of the many signals we weigh, and brand-new scam sites can appear clean before vendors catch up.
  • No — charlestondentistry.com is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
  • charlestondentistry.com is 23.4 years old, registered on February 19, 2003 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. A multi-year registration history is one of the stronger signals against a scam, though it's never a guarantee on its own — established domains can still be misused.
  • Yes — charlestondentistry.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YR2, valid for another 69 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".
  • charlestondentistry.com resolves to an IP operated by WHG Hosting Services Ltd in US (Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
  • This report is a record of the scan run on July 22, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about charlestondentistry.com has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
