Where is sportsurge.pw hosted?

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

The site is part of a known family of sports streaming aggregators that frequently change domains to avoid legal takedowns. Our analysis shows the domain was registered in early 2025 and currently sits behind a security challenge page, which is common for sites trying to hide from automated scanners. One engine in our antivirus network, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, flags the site as suspicious. There is no business registration, contact email, or physical address provided, which is typical for pirate streaming services. While we found no direct reports of theft, these sites often rely on aggressive advertising and malicious redirects to generate revenue.

Full dossier

Analysis complete

Page Content

The landing page is currently a security verification screen powered by a third-party protection service. This prevents a full view of the streaming directory but confirms the site is active and filtering traffic. No contact information, social media links, or legal disclosures are present on the page.

Infrastructure

The site is hosted behind a common content delivery network to mask its true server location. It uses a valid SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. The hosting IP has a clean reputation with no active abuse reports, though the use of a .pw (Palau) domain is a common choice for sites seeking to avoid strict regulatory oversight.

Domain History

The domain was registered in March 2025, making it relatively new in the streaming space. It follows the naming convention of the 'Sportsurge' network, which has seen several other domains, such as the .ws variant, seized by law enforcement in the past. This 'cat-and-mouse' domain hopping is a significant risk factor for long-term reliability.

Web Reputation

Most major security engines currently rate the site as clean, likely because it is new or primarily serves as a directory rather than hosting malicious files directly. However, the lack of any presence on independent review aggregators suggests a low-traffic or highly niche user base, which makes it difficult to verify the safety of its third-party streaming links.

Risk Factors

Forcepoint ThreatSeeker flags the domain as suspicious.
No business registration or ownership information is available.
The site uses the branding of a streaming network frequently targeted by law enforcement.
Complete lack of contact methods including email, phone, or physical address.
The .pw top-level domain is frequently associated with high-risk or pirate content.

Positive Signals

91 out of 92 antivirus engines report the site as clean.
The hosting IP address has no history of reported abuse.
The site uses a valid SSL certificate for encrypted traffic.

AI Recommendation

Exercise caution and do not provide any personal or credit card information. If you use the site for streaming, ensure you have an active ad-blocker and a VPN enabled to protect against malicious redirects.
