UserTrust.com is registered to Sectigo Limited, a major certificate authority, and has been active since December 1997 — over 28 years. The domain functions as backend infrastructure for certificate revocation and OCSP services, not as a consumer website. Our antivirus network shows zero detections across 92 engines, the hosting IP has a clean abuse score, and no scam reports exist in public databases. Independent review aggregators rate it as legitimate and reliable. The domain's age, business registration status in the UK, and established role in the PKI ecosystem all confirm it is a genuine, long-standing infrastructure provider.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

UserTrust.com does not host a consumer-facing website. The domain serves as infrastructure for Sectigo's certificate authority operations, including certificate revocation lists (crl.usertrust.com), OCSP responders (ocsp.usertrust.com), and related PKI functions. Historically, it was also associated with Comodo UserTrust security seals and reviews before Comodo's rebranding to Sectigo.

Infrastructure

Hosted on IP 91.199.212.176 with a clean abuse score of 0/100 and zero abuse reports. SSL certificate status is unavailable in our scan, but the domain maintains valid SSL for its subdomains used in certificate validation workflows. No redirects or cross-domain behaviour detected.

Domain History

Registered on 1997-12-05 and currently owned by Sectigo Limited (UK). The domain is 10,421 days old (28+ years), with registration expiring in 2027. Registrar is CSC Corporate Domains, Inc., and WHOIS registrant information is privacy-protected. The long registration history and stable ownership confirm legitimate, established infrastructure use.

Web Reputation

Zero detections across our antivirus network (0/92 engines). No scam reports, complaints, or clone-site indicators found. Independent review aggregators rate the domain as legitimate and reliable. Occasional mentions in security forums relate to firewall or OCSP blocking of subdomains, which is a technical configuration issue, not a sign of malice.

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 usertrust.com and not a lookalike like u-sertrust.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.

  • Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.

Safety FAQ

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

  • Our automated security review found no threat indicators on usertrust.com. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
  • usertrust.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 92/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
  • usertrust.com is 28.6 years old, registered on 12/5/1997 through CSC Corporate Domains, Inc.. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report usertrust.com as clean.
  • No. usertrust.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • usertrust.com resolves to an IP operated by Sectigo Limited 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.
  • Yes. usertrust.com 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.
  • This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 18, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around usertrust.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
