Verdict

Domain now redirects to unrelated hotel site; antivirus flags present

publicdomaintextures.com was a legitimate free CC0 PBR texture resource for 3D artists but now redirects to hotelbolivarplaza.com. Four antivirus engines flag the domain, likely due to the unexpected redirection.

Avoid visiting the domain until the redirection is resolved or ownership is clarified; the antivirus flags and unexpected redirect create unnecessary risk.

01 · Investigation Brief

Investigation Brief

Historical legitimacy versus current state

The domain operated for over 2,500 days as a community resource offering free CC0 PBR textures up to 8K resolution for Blender users and 3D artists.

Current evidence shows the domain redirects to an unrelated hotel website, which is the primary reason antivirus engines now flag it.

Technical flags versus operator intent

Four independent antivirus families report adverse results, but the detection appears tied to the domain's current redirection behavior rather than active malicious content on the original site.

No evidence indicates credential harvesting, malware distribution, or commercial deception mechanisms on the current landing page.

Why the score is 55

4 independent antivirus families reported an adverse result. This comes from a saved antivirus observation rather than a new submission, so treat the detection as real but confirm the timing. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

07 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is publicdomaintextures.com a scam or is it safe?

There isn't enough evidence yet for us to give publicdomaintextures.com a confident verdict, so treat it with caution. The domain is 6.9 years old. Until it can be independently verified, don't enter passwords, card details, or send money, and confirm the company through channels you find yourself rather than links on the site.

Is publicdomaintextures.com safe to use?

publicdomaintextures.com has a Safety Score of 55/100 (Moderate Risk). Analysis coverage is strong at 83%. Do not trust blindly; analysis may be limited.

Has publicdomaintextures.com been flagged by antivirus engines?

Yes. 4 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged publicdomaintextures.com, 4 of them as outright malicious. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.

Is publicdomaintextures.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No — publicdomaintextures.com is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.

How old is the publicdomaintextures.com domain?

publicdomaintextures.com is 6.9 years old, registered on October 24, 2019 through Bluehost Inc.. A multi-year registration history is one of the stronger signals against a scam, though it's never a guarantee on its own — established domains can still be misused.

Does publicdomaintextures.com have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes — publicdomaintextures.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, valid for another 45 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".

Where is publicdomaintextures.com hosted?

publicdomaintextures.com resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.

How often is the publicdomaintextures.com report updated?

This report is a record of the scan run on September 24, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about publicdomaintextures.com has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
