No. gmoregistry.net is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.

Where is gmoregistry.net hosted?

gmoregistry.net resolves to an IP operated by GMO Internet, Inc. in JP (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.

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 gmoregistry.net and not a lookalike like g-moregistry.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.
