Is spaceweb.ru a scam?

Our automated security review marked spaceweb.ru as suspicious. Several warning signs were detected; it may still turn out legitimate, but you should verify it through independent channels before trusting it with money or credentials.

Is spaceweb.ru safe to use?

spaceweb.ru currently scores 55/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend caution. Verify the site through independent channels before entering credentials or money.

Does spaceweb.ru have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes. spaceweb.ru presents a valid TLSv1.2 certificate issued by GlobalSign nv-sa · GlobalSign RSA OV SSL CA 2018, expiring in 119 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.

Has spaceweb.ru been flagged by antivirus engines?

No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report spaceweb.ru as clean.

Is spaceweb.ru on any phishing or malware blacklists?

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

Where is spaceweb.ru hosted?

spaceweb.ru resolves to an IP operated by SpaceWeb.ru Hosting Provider in RU (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.

Is spaceweb.ru a well-known website?

Yes. spaceweb.ru 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.

How often is the spaceweb.ru report updated?

This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 12, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around spaceweb.ru have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.

Security Review

Is spaceweb.ru legit or a scam?

Our verdict:Suspicious· 55/100

SafeSuspiciousDangerous

Established Russian hosting provider (since 2001) with mixed customer reviews — some praise support, others report account blocks and data-loss disputes.

Top reasons

Multiple customer complaints on independent review sites report sudden account blocks and restricted access to customer data until payment is made.Billing disputes and data-loss complaints appear across multiple platforms (Yandex Maps, Otzovik, hosting101.ru), suggesting systemic policy or operational friction.No email contact uses the site's own domain — support contacts are on subdomains or external platforms, reducing direct accountability.

These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Confidence

SpaceWeb (sweb.ru / spaceweb.ru) is a registered Russian company (ООО «СпейсВэб», founded 2001, INN 7813376370) operating as one of Russia's top hosting providers with 200,000+ customer sites. Our antivirus network and browser blocklists show no malicious flags, and the domain has valid SSL and clean IP reputation. However, the evidence package reveals a consistent pattern of customer complaints across multiple review platforms: users report sudden account blocks, restricted access to their own data until payment is made, billing errors, and data loss. Positive reviews praise technical support and long-term reliability, but the volume and specificity of negative complaints — particularly around account suspension and data access — suggest operational or policy issues that create genuine risk for new customers. The company is not a scam operation, but the service carries documented friction points.

Full dossier

Analysis complete

Page Content

The page is a legitimate hosting-provider storefront in Russian, offering shared hosting, VPS/VDS, dedicated servers, domain registration, and website-builder services. Title and meta description match the company's official self-description. The page loads as a JavaScript single-page app and includes navigation to control panels, help sections, and support channels. No phishing forms, credential harvesting, or malware payloads detected.

Infrastructure

Domain hosted on IP 77.222.41.15 (abuse score 0/100, no reports). SSL certificate valid (GlobalSign OV, 119 days to expiry). No redirects to suspicious domains. External resources load from legitimate subdomains (s.sweb.ru, webmail.sweb.ru, help.sweb.ru) and standard third-party services (Google Tag Manager, Yandex Analytics, Jivo chat). All signals consistent with an established business.

Domain History

SpaceWeb is registered to ООО «СпейсВэб», a Russian legal entity (INN 7813376370, ОГРN 1077847311992) founded in 2001 in Saint Petersburg. The company is one of Russia's top 5–10 hosting providers and has operated continuously for 25 years. No evidence of recent ownership changes, domain hijacking, or cloning activity.

Web Reputation

Mixed but substantial review footprint. Positive reviews on hosters.ru, ru.hostings.info, Otzovik, and Tbank praise technical support, pricing, and long-term reliability (customers report using the service since 2005–2010). Negative reviews on Yandex Maps, Otzovik, and hosting101.ru report account blocks, data access restrictions after suspension, billing errors, and data loss. Yandex Maps shows 4.8/5 from 174 reviews for the company's St. Petersburg office. No dedicated scam-database listings; company has warned users about phishing scams impersonating them.

Risk Factors

Multiple customer complaints on independent review sites report sudden account blocks and restricted access to customer data until payment is made.
Billing disputes and data-loss complaints appear across multiple platforms (Yandex Maps, Otzovik, hosting101.ru), suggesting systemic policy or operational friction.
No email contact uses the site's own domain — support contacts are on subdomains or external platforms, reducing direct accountability.
Account suspension policy appears to restrict customer access to their own files, creating leverage disputes over data recovery.

Positive Signals

Legitimate Russian business entity registered in 2001, operating 25 years with 200,000+ hosted sites.
Valid SSL certificate, clean antivirus scans (0/92 engines flagged), and zero abuse reports on hosting IP.
Positive customer reviews praise 24/7 technical support, competitive pricing, and long-term reliability.
Established infrastructure with dedicated control panels, help sections, and mobile app.
Company actively warns users about phishing scams impersonating them, showing security awareness.

AI Recommendation

SpaceWeb is a legitimate hosting provider, but customer reviews show a pattern of account-suspension and data-access disputes. If you choose to use this service, review their terms of service carefully, maintain backups of your data outside their platform, and contact support in writing before purchasing to clarify their data-access and account-suspension policies.

Research summary

Narrative write-up from our AI analyst, grounded on the facts above

Our research found SpaceWeb is a legitimate Russian hosting provider (ООО «СпейсВэб», INN 7813376370) operating since 2001 with 200,000+ hosted sites. Customer reviews are mixed: positive feedback on independent review aggregators praises technical support, pricing, and long-term reliability (users report 15+ years of service). However, multiple complaints across Yandex Maps, Otzovik, and hosting review sites report account suspensions, restricted access to customer data until payment, billing errors, and data-loss disputes. The company is not listed on scam-report databases, and it actively warns users about phishing scams impersonating it. The pattern suggests operational or policy friction rather than outright fraud, but the complaints are specific and recurring.
