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 hosts translated Japanese web novels and manga, including adult-themed series, and presents itself as a donation-supported translation group. Domain registration dates back to December 2020, giving it a 5.6-year history that is inconsistent with typical scam domains. Two antivirus engines flagged the page as malware while the rest returned clean, and browser blocklists show no hits. Our sandbox did not flag the page, the hosting IP carries zero abuse reports, and the SSL certificate is valid. Web research found no scam complaints and two positive community mentions on Reddit and Webnovel, confirming the site operates as a legitimate fan-translation project rather than a fraudulent storefront.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The page functions as a web-novel translation portal listing titles such as Cuckold Wizard Adventure, Confinement King, and Avalon Dungeon. Navigation includes Homepage, List Novels, Donation, and a search bar. A donation widget from Ko-fi is present, and the site displays update notices and view counts. No login forms, checkout pages, or contact details appear anywhere on the page.

Infrastructure

The site runs on IP 104.21.66.225 with a clean abuse score of 0/100 and no abuse reports. SSL is issued by Google Trust Services and remains valid for 34 days. External resources load from googletagmanager.com, googlesyndication.com, and Cloudflare Insights, consistent with a standard WordPress-based site using analytics and ad scripts. Two redirect hops occur but stay within the same domain family.

Domain History

The domain tinytranslation.xyz was registered on 2020-12-05 through Hostinger and is now 5.6 years old. WHOIS privacy protection is disabled, though no owner name is publicly listed. The long registration period and consistent operation since 2020 align with an established fan-translation project rather than a throwaway domain.

Web Reputation

Independent review aggregators returned no ratings. Our research found zero scam reports or complaints across web sources. Two positive mentions appear on Reddit and Webnovel praising the translation work. The site is described as a machine-translation group with manual editing that relies on donations and ad revenue, not commercial sales.

What this means for you

The site shows no signs of credential harvesting, malware distribution, or financial fraud. Visitors can browse translated novels without entering payment details or personal information. Standard browser protections and ad blockers remain advisable when visiting any ad-supported content site.

    This scan re-ran every check; the current findings are detailed above.

  • Treat tinytranslation.xyz as unverified

    Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.

  • Verify the business through independent channels

    Check the company's social profiles, registry records, and search for recent news or reviews that are not hosted on the site itself.

  • Never use irreversible payment methods

    Crypto, gift cards, wire transfers, and cash apps offer zero buyer protection. Use a credit card or PayPal if you must pay.

Safety FAQ

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

  • tinytranslation.xyz shows strong warning signs of being a scam site — avoid interacting with it. 3 of 92 security engines flag it (2 as outright malicious). The domain is 5.6 years old through HOSTINGER operations, UAB. It may not be an outright scam, but the risk is high enough that you should verify it independently before trusting it with money or data.
  • Proceed with caution — tinytranslation.xyz scores 46/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend verifying it through independent channels before entering credentials or money.
  • If you've already paid or handed over details on tinytranslation.xyz, act quickly. 1) Contact your bank or card issuer immediately and ask to dispute the charge or open a chargeback — the sooner you act, the better your odds. 2) Report the site to the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or the FBI's IC3 at ic3.gov, and in the UK to Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. 3) If you entered a password, change it on tinytranslation.xyz and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. 4) Watch your bank and email for follow-up fraud, and keep screenshots as evidence.
  • Often yes, if you act fast. Payments made by credit or debit card can frequently be reversed through a chargeback or dispute — contact your bank right away and explain it was a fraudulent site. Bank transfers and gift-card or voucher payments are much harder to recover, but you should still report them to your bank and to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov) or Action Fraud (actionfraud.police.uk). Avoid any "refund" or "recovery" service that contacts you first — it's usually a follow-up scam.
  • Just viewing a scam page is usually low-risk on an up-to-date browser — the real danger is what it asks you to DO (enter details, download a file, send money). If you downloaded anything, run a full antivirus scan and treat the file as untrusted. If you entered a password or card number, change the password everywhere you reused it and contact your bank.
  • You can report tinytranslation.xyz through several official channels: the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov, and — in the UK — Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. You can also flag it to Google Safe Browsing (safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish) so other browsers warn about it, and report it to the company being impersonated if there is one. Reporting helps get scam sites taken down faster.
  • Modern scams are built to look convincing. A valid SSL padlock, a polished template, stock photos, fake reviews, and a trust badge can all be added in minutes and prove nothing about who runs the site. Scammers buy cheap domains, clone real designs, and copy legal pages wholesale. That's exactly why an automated review that checks the domain's age, hosting, blacklists, and behaviour — rather than just how the page looks — is more reliable than a first impression.
  • Yes. 3 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged tinytranslation.xyz, 2 of them as outright malicious. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.
  • No — tinytranslation.xyz is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
  • tinytranslation.xyz is 5.6 years old, registered on December 4, 2020 through HOSTINGER operations, UAB. A multi-year registration history is one of the stronger signals against a scam, though it's never a guarantee on its own — established domains can still be misused.
  • Yes — tinytranslation.xyz presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, valid for another 34 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".
  • tinytranslation.xyz resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
