How old is the gihc.net domain?

Is gihc.net on any phishing or malware blacklists?

Where is gihc.net hosted?

gihc.net resolves to an IP operated by SEJONG NETWORKS in KR (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 15, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own.

Confidence

gihc.net is a legacy domain registered in January 2000 and continuously operated by Inet Hosting Inc., a Seoul-based internet hosting company. The domain serves as primary and secondary nameserver infrastructure for Korean ISP and hosting customers, not a consumer-facing website. Our antivirus network flagged zero detections across 92 engines, the hosting IP has zero abuse reports, and our research found no scam complaints, fraud allegations, or negative reviews associated with the domain. The registrant information is tied to a real South Korean business with verifiable employee reviews on Korean job platforms. The 503 error on the homepage is consistent with a backend infrastructure domain that does not host public-facing content.

Full dossier

Analysis complete

Page Content

The domain does not serve consumer-facing content. The homepage returns a 503 error, which is expected for a nameserver and hosting infrastructure domain. The site is not designed for public browsing.

Infrastructure

gihc.net operates as primary and secondary nameserver infrastructure (ns.gihc.net, ns2.gihc.net, ns3.gihc.net) for Korean hosting and ISP customers. The hosting IP 203.235.122.21 is located in South Korea and has zero abuse reports. SSL is unavailable, consistent with backend infrastructure use.

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 gihc.net and not a lookalike like g-ihc.net.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.
