Investigation Brief
fdns.uk presents IPQuick, a free utility for creating DNS records under ipq.co or fdns.uk. The domain is more than 4,300 days old, and current checks found no browser warning and valid encryption. Its important limitation is that records belong to the operator and may be changed or removed at any time, so it is better suited to disposable use than critical services.
A simple, established DNS service
The page describes itself as IPQuick and offers a form that pairs an IPv4 or IPv6 address with a DNS name under ipq.co or fdns.uk. An email address is optional, and the page says record updates are not yet implemented.
The domain has existed for 4,358 days. Independent research also describes ipq.co as a free, registration-free service whose records cannot be modified after creation.
Clean technical checks, but limited control over records
The current browser-safety check returned no threat warning, and the saved connection check found valid encryption. Two older antivirus results nevertheless labeled the URL suspicious, but the supplied evidence does not identify a malicious behavior or explain those labels.
The service is explicitly offered free and “as is,” without warranty. More importantly, its terms say all created DNS records are owned by ipq.co and may be changed or removed at any time.
Why the score is 88
The score combines saved deterministic evidence with the grounded analysis available for this report. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Domain & infrastructure
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.
