fanzinepuertorico.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 83/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.

Does fanzinepuertorico.com have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes. fanzinepuertorico.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · R12, expiring in 43 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.

Where is fanzinepuertorico.com hosted?

fanzinepuertorico.com resolves to an IP operated by Hostinger International Limited in US (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 16, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own.

Confidence

The site is a straightforward informational resource focused on fanzine history, DIY techniques, and materials, written in Spanish for a Puerto Rican audience. Our research found no scam reports, complaints, or fraud indicators across web sources. The Instagram account @fanzinepuertorico (11 followers, 3 posts) confirms the site launch and matches the domain owner's stated project. The page carries no e-commerce, login, donation, or cryptocurrency features—only educational sections and accessibility tools. The domain's recent registration (~1 month) and absence of formal business registration are consistent with a small DIY community project rather than a commercial venture. SSL is valid and the hosting IP has zero abuse reports. No clone-site or credential-harvesting patterns detected.

Full dossier

Analysis complete

Page Content

The site is a Spanish-language educational blog dedicated to fanzines and zines. It includes sections on fanzine definitions, types, recommended books, DIY materials, digital tools, and a price calculator. The page features accessibility controls (inverted colors, high contrast, screen-reader mode, font scaling) and links to the site's Instagram account. No products, services, or payment mechanisms are present.

Infrastructure

Domain hosted on IP 82.197.83.52 with valid SSL (Let's Encrypt, 43 days to expiry). The IP has an abuse score of 0/100 with zero reported abuse incidents. No malware or phishing flags from our sandbox or browser blocklists. One redirect detected (non-homoglyph, same domain).

Web Reputation

No scam reports, complaints, or negative reviews found across web sources, Reddit, or targeted searches in Spanish (estafa, queja). Independent review aggregators show no data (expected for a new, low-traffic site). The site is not indexed in global traffic rankings, consistent with a newly launched small project.

No formal business registration, owner details, or copyright information visible on the site.

Key findings

7 headline facts from open-web research

Website is a new informational blog (domain ~1 month old per ScamAdviser) focused on fanzines/zines, their history, DIY techniques, materials, and Puerto Rican ('boricua') context.
Page title and description match exactly: "Fanzine Puerto Rico - Inicio" and the provided Spanish description about learning fanzines.
Links to active Instagram @fanzinepuertorico (small account with 11 followers, 3 posts as of recent data), which announced the site launch.
ScamAdviser reports Trust Score 0 due to young domain, low Tranco rank, and shared server with suspicious sites; however, valid SSL and safe per DNSFilter; no user reviews or complaints.
No shop, products for sale, donations, crypto, login, or wallet features; purely educational with sections like "¿Que son los fanzines?" and accessibility tools.
No scam reports, fraud complaints, or negative reviews found across web, Reddit, or targeted searches for estafa/queja.
Older unrelated fanzine projects exist in Puerto Rico (e.g., historical zines, blogs like fanzinepr.blogspot.com), but this appears to be a distinct new initiative.

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 fanzinepuertorico.com and not a lookalike like f-anzinepuertorico.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.
