Is startappservice.com a well-known website?

Confidence

startappservice.com is directly operated by Start.io Inc, a registered US mobile advertising company that has been active since approximately 2013. The domain is used for ad-tracking subdomains (adclick, adimpression, trackdownload) and appears in multiple ad-tech databases as legitimate infrastructure. Our antivirus network shows zero malicious detections across 91 engines, and the hosting IP has a clean abuse reputation. The page currently displays an XML access-denied error, which is a technical misconfiguration rather than a scam pattern — likely a cloud storage or CDN origin issue. Independent review sites rate related subdomains as legitimate and reliable, and no scam reports or complaints exist across consumer forums or security databases.

Full dossier

Analysis complete

Page Content

The page renders an XML AccessDenied error response with no functional content visible. This is a technical error from the origin server or CDN, not a scam indicator. The domain itself is legitimate infrastructure for Start.io's ad-tracking operations.

Infrastructure

Hosted on IP 146.75.39.52 with zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score. SSL certificate is valid (Let's Encrypt) with 54 days remaining. The domain uses standard GoDaddy registration with privacy protection via Domains By Proxy.

Domain History

Registered approximately 12.6 years ago (around 2013), making it one of the oldest domains in the ad-tech space. The long registration history and consistent use for ad-tracking subdomains confirm legitimate business operation, not a newly-created scam domain.

Web Reputation

Zero scam reports found across consumer-review sites, Reddit, security forums, and complaint databases. Independent review aggregators rate related subdomains as legitimate and reliable. The domain is listed in multiple ad-tracker databases (Netify, Tweasel Tracker Wiki, Feroot) as part of Start.io's known infrastructure.

Risk Factors

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 startappservice.com and not a lookalike like s-tartappservice.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.
