Page Content

redditmedia.com functions as a media-hosting service for Reddit's platform infrastructure. The domain hosts subdomains like i.redditmedia.com (images), styles.redditmedia.com (stylesheets), and thumbs.redditmedia.com (thumbnails). Users accessing the root domain are redirected to reddit.com, which is expected behaviour for a backend service domain.

Infrastructure

Hosted on IP 151.101.1.140 with zero abuse reports on the hosting IP. SSL certificate is valid and issued by DigiCert, expiring in 83 days. The domain uses MarkMonitor as its registrar, a professional domain-management service commonly used by large enterprises.

Domain History

Registered on 2007-08-13 (6,875 days ago, approximately 18.8 years). This age is consistent with Reddit's founding era and confirms the domain is not a recent creation or temporary asset. WHOIS privacy is disabled, allowing full transparency of ownership.

Web Reputation

Zero detections from our antivirus network (0/92 engines). Browser blocklists are clean. Independent trust aggregators do not flag the domain. Reddit community forums (r/help, 2024) confirm the domain's legitimacy and describe it as a backup/mirror service for media delivery when reddit.com faces indexing restrictions.

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 redditmedia.com and not a lookalike like r-edditmedia.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.

  • Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review found no threat indicators on redditmedia.com. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
  • redditmedia.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 94/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
  • Yes. redditmedia.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by DigiCert Inc · DigiCert Global G2 TLS RSA SHA256 2020 CA1, expiring in 83 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • redditmedia.com is 18.8 years old, registered on 8/13/2007 through MarkMonitor Inc.. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report redditmedia.com as clean.
  • No. redditmedia.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • redditmedia.com resolves to an IP operated by Fastly, Inc. in US (usage type: Content Delivery Network). 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.
  • Yes. redditmedia.com sits in the global top-100k on Cloudflare Radar, which means it has substantial real-world traffic. That does not automatically make it safe, but established brands almost always rank here and throwaway scam domains almost never do.
