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.

Brand impersonation — not the real site

Domain was registered only 3 days ago — brand-new sites are higher-risk by default. This page is styled as a brand but is not the brand's real site. Go to the official site directly, and treat any download, login, or payment request here as unsafe.

Confidence
The domain was registered just 3 days ago, which is a major red flag for a site claiming to sell tickets for a world-famous landmark. Our intelligence stack identified this site as a clone of the official chateauversailles.fr domain. SOCRadar has already flagged the page for phishing activity. Furthermore, the page content is broken, displaying 'Egypt monuments' despite the Versailles-themed web address. This mismatch is a classic sign of a low-quality scam template being reused.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The site is currently in a broken state, displaying a title and body text for 'Egypt monuments' while using a domain name specifically targeting Versailles visitors. There are no contact details, physical addresses, or legitimate customer support channels available.

Infrastructure

The domain is hosted on a generic IP with a short-term SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt. It was registered through a privacy-protected service frequently used by disposable scam sites. The technical fingerprint matches known ticket-scam templates.

Domain History

Registered on May 19, 2024, the domain has no historical reputation or legitimate traffic. It is a clear typosquatting attempt, mimicking the structure of the official French government ticketing portal to deceive search engine users.

Web Reputation

The official Château de Versailles administration has issued warnings regarding counterfeit tickets from third-party resellers. This specific domain has no presence on travel review platforms or business registries, confirming it is not an authorized partner.

Brand impersonation detected

This page is styled as a known brand but is not the brand's real site.

  • Do not interact with chateauversaillesticket.com

    Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.

  • Go to the brand's real site directly

    Type the brand name into a search engine or open it from your bookmarks — don't use links from emails, SMS, ads, or social posts, which are the delivery vectors for impersonation.

  • Never download or sign in here

    Even if the page "just" offers a download or a giveaway, impersonation pages frequently deliver malware or set up follow-up phishing. Assume anything accepted from this site is hostile.

  • Report the impersonation to the brand

    Most major brands have a dedicated abuse or anti-phishing reporting channel — reporting helps them take the site down and protects other users.

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 flags chateauversaillesticket.com as dangerous. Multiple threat indicators were detected — treat the site as a scam until proven otherwise.
  • No — chateauversaillesticket.com scored 3/100 on our trust scale. We detected active threat indicators, so we recommend avoiding the site entirely.
  • Yes. chateauversaillesticket.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YE2, expiring in 86 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • chateauversaillesticket.com is 3 days old, registered on 6/25/2026 through Fewmoretaps OU d/b/a Trustname.com. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

  • No. chateauversaillesticket.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • chateauversaillesticket.com resolves to an IP operated by DigitalOcean, LLC 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.
  • This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 28, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around chateauversaillesticket.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
