    DomVerify / VirusTotal

    This is a really important issue that doesn't get enough attention. The circular dependency you've described serverHold blocking DNS, DNS required to verify for appeal is a genuine structural failure. One thing worth adding: Google Safe Browsing is just one layer of the security reputation...

    advice Why a domain names spam score can hurt it's potential value

    Interesting debate. The spam score discussion here highlights something worth separating out: spam score and security reputation are two completely different things. Spam score (Moz) measures backlink quality. VirusTotal measures whether a domain has been used for phishing, malware, or botnet...

    advice Using AI and Research Tools to Avoid Risky Domain Acquisitions

    The DNSSEC point from the comments is a great example of what makes this guide valuable it surfaces the operational details that most checklists skip. Same goes for the VirusTotal and PhishTank checks in the monitoring routine. In practice, most investors run these once before acquisition and...

    advice Domain Name Due Diligence: Why It Matters More Than Ever

    Appreciate that, coming from someone with your experience in the space. It’s surprising how often this step gets skipped even by seasoned investors.

    Exactly and the frustrating part is that the consequences only show up after purchase. By then it's too late. That's the whole motivation behind building this.

    [UPDATE] Dom-Verify — now 9 analysis modules Hi domainers, Quick update since the last post in May. Dom-Verify has expanded significantly. What started as a VirusTotal security check is now a full due diligence platform — 9 modules, one composite score /100: Security (VirusTotal, 70+...

    DomVerify / VirusTotal

    That's fair feedback. I've been sharing the VirusTotal angle because it's a gap I've seen consistently in due diligence discussions here not to promote the tool, but because it's the thing I've researched most. I'll be more mindful about how I frame it.

    DomVerify / VirusTotal

    Fair question. I built a tool called Dom-Verify that automates domain security checks VirusTotal, Wayback Machine, WHOIS, Moz, and a few others into a single score. VirusTotal comes up in my posts because it's the check most investors skip, and it's the one that has surprised me most...

    Expired Domains with High DA and Traffic: 2026 Detailed Guide

    PendingDelete.Domains is solid for the traffic and authority filtering side the Similarweb + Semrush combination covers a lot of ground. The gap it leaves, like most tools in this space, is security reputation. DA, DR, and traffic metrics don't surface whether a domain has been used for...

    [UPDATE] Dom-Verify is live — first users onboard Hi domainers, One month ago I posted about Dom-Verify launching. It’s now live at dom-verify.com. Quick update on where things stand : Live since mid-April 2026 First users actively testing VirusTotal scan (70+ antivirus engines) + score/100...

    [BETA] Dom-Verify -(VirusTotal)

    Hi domainers, I'm launching Dom-Verify mid-April: security verification for expired domains via VirusTotal (70 antivirus engines). The problem : 15% of domains with good SEO history are blacklisted for past malware. You buy for backlinks, but if blacklisted → Google Ads blocks, antispam...

    question How to check if a domain has been banned, used for spam, etc.?

    Good question spam score is just one layer. Here’s a more complete checklist: Spam & backlinks: Moz Spam Score, Ahrefs for backlink quality Content history: Wayback Machine was it used for pharma, casino, adult content? Ownership history: WHOIS history tools like DomainIQ or SecurityTrails...

    advice Using AI and Research Tools to Avoid Risky Domain Acquisitions

    That's exactly the problem I'm working on solving with Dom-Verify. The idea is to automate the security and reputation checks VirusTotal, Wayback Machine, WHOIS, PageSpeed into a single score, so investors don't have to run each check manually every time. Still in development, launching April...

    advice Using AI and Research Tools to Avoid Risky Domain Acquisitions

    Exactly and that’s the part that’s hardest to systematize. Pre-purchase checks are easy to turn into a checklist. Post-acquisition monitoring requires ongoing discipline that most investors don’t maintain until something goes wrong.

    Expired Domains with High DA and Traffic: 2026 Detailed Guide

    Solid breakdown. One blind spot in the vetting section though security reputation. You cover manual penalties, anchor text audits, Wayback pivots, and PBN footprints. But a domain can pass all five of your penalty checks and still be flagged by 15+ antivirus engines on VirusTotal for past...

    discuss Top 3 mistakes made by rookie domain investors

    Great list. I'd add one more to the due diligence point skipping the security check. New investors typically check Archive.org, trademarks, and backlinks. Almost nobody checks VirusTotal. A domain can look completely clean on every standard metric and still be flagged by antivirus engines for...

    advice Domain Name Due Diligence: Why It Matters More Than Ever

    Really comprehensive thread. One gap I'd add to the checklist that's rarely mentioned: VirusTotal security scan. Most due diligence frameworks cover backlinks, Archive.org history, WHOIS, spam scores but skip the antivirus/security reputation check entirely. A domain can pass every standard...

    SEO Beyond Backlinks & Domain Name Authority

    Exactly and the VirusTotal check is still the most skipped step in most checklists I've seen. Most tools cover Wayback, spam score, and backlinks but none of them run the security scan automatically. That's the gap I'm working on filling with a tool I'm building Dom-Verify. Still in...

    SEO Beyond Backlinks & Domain Name Authority

    Good overview. One thing worth adding beyond what's covered: VirusTotal security check. A domain can have excellent DA, clean backlinks, and pass every standard metric — and still be flagged by antivirus engines for past phishing or malware activity. Google's Safe Browsing blacklist operates...

    question Checklist while buying old Domains

    Great point on the spam/blacklist check — this is actually the most overlooked step in most checklists. My personal checklist before buying any expired domain: VirusTotal scan checks 90+ antivirus engines. I analyzed 200 expired domains and found 15% were flagged. This step alone saved me...
