01 · Investigation Brief
Investigation Brief
The site lets users create and share text pastes and offers an optional 'Make money' feature that inserts URL shorteners or ad codes. It has been active for over six years, receives tens of thousands of daily visitors, and shows no malware or phishing detections.
Technical and reputation evidence
The browser threat feed returned no threat warning and the TLS certificate is valid, indicating the connection itself is encrypted and not flagged for malware.
The hosting IP carries an abuse confidence score of 0/100 across three saved reports, and third-party analysis from an independent site-rating service labels the site as likely legitimate.
Service model and monetization
zPaste.net functions as a text-sharing platform that also lets users enable URL shorteners or advertising codes inside their pastes to earn revenue.
The domain is 2,517 days old and the site draws an estimated 31,000 daily visitors, consistent with an established, advertising-supported service rather than a short-lived scam.
Why the score is 78
The saved checks found no material threat, but the evidence was not strong enough for the highest Safe tier. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

04 · Domain & Infrastructure
Domain & infrastructure
The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.

- Oct 10, 2026Saved security review — Rated Low Risk
This saved scan found no material threat, but the evidence was not strong enough for the highest Safe tier.
zpaste.net has operated for years and this review found no material threat — a long track record, though it is never a guarantee on its own.
Domain & Encryption
Cloudflare DNS is used by legitimate and scam sites alike, so it does not identify who runs the site.
Certificate issued for zpaste.net.
A shared Cloudflare address answers for many sites, so it is not the site's own server and says nothing about who runs it.
Redirect Chain
The site refused our redirect check, so this chain may be incomplete.
