How old is the roadtripswithtom.com domain?

Where is roadtripswithtom.com hosted?

roadtripswithtom.com resolves to an IP operated by GoDaddy.com, LLC in US (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.

Confidence

The domain roadtripswithtom.com has been registered for 4,139 days (over 11 years) and shows a clear publishing history dating to around 2015. Content is detailed and thematic—road-trip itineraries, scenic byways, national parks, and small-town guides—consistent with a genuine hobby blog rather than a commercial or fraudulent operation. Our antivirus network flagged no malicious or suspicious activity, and the hosting IP has a clean abuse score. The SSL certificate is self-signed and expired, which is typical for small personal blogs that don't prioritize HTTPS infrastructure. Web searches across scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, and general sources found no complaints, fraud allegations, or negative feedback. The author presents as an individual traveler based in the LA County area with no business registration, which aligns with a personal blog model. Social mentions on Facebook and Pinterest are positive or neutral.

Full dossier

Analysis complete

Page Content

The site presents as a personal travel blog with a clear editorial voice. The homepage features a navigation menu (About, Destinations, News, Blog, Resources, Contact) and displays recent posts about road trips—including detailed guides to New Orleans, the Great Southwest, and Fort Scott, Kansas. Content is substantive, with multi-paragraph posts and specific itinerary details. No e-commerce, credential-harvesting forms, or heavy monetization tactics are evident.

Infrastructure

The domain is hosted on IP 208.109.21.36 with a clean abuse score (0/100) and only 2 historical abuse reports. The SSL certificate is self-signed and expired, which is common for personal or low-traffic sites that don't prioritize HTTPS. Our antivirus network and browser blocklists show no detections. The page is not indexed in global traffic rankings, consistent with a niche hobby blog.

Domain History

Registered 4,139 days ago (~11.3 years) via GoDaddy with privacy protection disabled. Publishing history dates to around 2015, with consistent posts through at least 2018 by author Tom Dell. No evidence of domain hijacking, repurposing, or sudden content changes.

Web Reputation

Web searches across scam-report databases, consumer-review aggregators, Reddit, and general sources found zero scam reports, complaints, or fraud allegations. The site is occasionally mentioned positively on social media (Facebook, Pinterest). No business registration or company entity exists, which is expected for a personal blog.

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 roadtripswithtom.com and not a lookalike like r-oadtripswithtom.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.
