Intelligence
The domain wampserver.com has existed since February 2004 and carries a clean record across our antivirus network and browser blocklists. Our sandbox raised no flags and the hosting IP shows minimal abuse history. Evidence from independent sources confirms this is the legitimate home of the WampServer project, an Apache-MySQL-PHP stack used by Windows developers for local testing. The visual scan captured a 404 page, but the evidence package shows the project remains active through SourceForge and related mirrors. No scam reports, complaints, or clone indicators appear in our research. The combination of extreme domain age, zero malicious detections, and consistent positive mentions in developer communities supports a safe classification.

What to do
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 wampserver.com and not a lookalike like w-ampserver.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.

Final Verdict
WampServer is a long-established open-source tool for running Apache, MySQL, and PHP on Windows. The domain has been registered since 2004 with no scam reports or malicious detections. Users can safely download the software from the official site.
Safety FAQ
Common questions, 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 wampserver.com, so it appears legitimate. All 92 antivirus engines we queried report it clean, and the domain is 22.4 years old, registered on February 14, 2004 — established domains are far less likely to be scams. Even so, always double-check the exact address in your browser, because phishing emails routinely spoof real, trusted domains like this one.
- wampserver.com passed our automated checks with a trust score of 80/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged it at the time of the last scan, and its signals line up with an established, legitimate site. Treat any unexpected login prompt or payment request on it with the same caution you would anywhere.
- Yes — and this is worth understanding. Even trustworthy domains get spoofed in phishing emails (a fake message that only looks like it's from wampserver.com), and legitimate sites are occasionally compromised on specific pages. A clean verdict means the site itself checks out today; it does not mean every email or link claiming to be from wampserver.com is genuine. Always reach the site by typing the address yourself rather than clicking links in unexpected messages.
- No — all 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network currently report wampserver.com as clean. That's a good sign, though antivirus coverage is only one of the many signals we weigh, and brand-new scam sites can appear clean before vendors catch up.
- No — wampserver.com 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.
- wampserver.com is 22.4 years old, registered on February 14, 2004 through Gandi SAS. 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 — wampserver.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Smile · unknown.forge.intranet, valid for another 1195 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".
- wampserver.com resolves to an IP operated by OVH SAS in FR (Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). 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.
- This report is a record of the scan run on July 15, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about wampserver.com has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
