Full analysis
Overview
Hosting.kr is a Korean corporate technology-services website operated under the Hosting.kr/Megazone identity, presenting domain registration, web hosting, SSL certificates, Google Workspace integration, server and IDC services, reseller programs, and managed enterprise support. Its apparent business model is subscription- and service-based, combining domain sales, hosted infrastructure, productivity services, and managed IT contracts.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
No contradictions were observed. The homepage presents a coherent corporate hosting-provider identity, with service descriptions, customer-support functions, login access, and company contact information consistent with the stated business model. The reviewed content contains no phishing indicators, brand-impersonation signals, suspicious forms, cryptocurrency mechanisms, or other abuse patterns, while external reputation checks reported no malicious or suspicious detections. The long-established domain history and consistent identity support a legitimate provenance assessment.
- The homepage identifies Hosting.kr as a provider of domains, web hosting, SSL, office services, and server infrastructure.
- The homepage presents customer support through a telephone channel, online inquiries, and chat, alongside company information.
- The domain was registered on 2007-02-28 and is approximately 19.46 years old.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The site provides company and contact details and describes a conventional technology-services business rather than presenting itself as a financial, investment, or other specially regulated provider. No regulated licence or licence number was identified in the reviewed content; this is a limited disclosure point for jurisdiction-specific verification, not evidence of deception. The registration record identifies Megazone as registrar and Megazone Corp as the registrant, while the clean external reputation and established service presentation reinforce the legitimacy assessment. The website’s transport security is valid, although domain-validated TLS confirms encrypted transport rather than legal-entity or licensing status.
- The homepage lists domain registration, web hosting, SSL certificates, Google Workspace services, server/IDC hosting, reseller programs, and managed support.
- The domain is registered through Megazone (HOSTING.KR), with Megazone Corp recorded as owner.
- The site is hosted on AS16509, Amazon.com, Inc. (AMAZON-02 - Amazon.com, Inc., US).
- TLS is issued by Amazon RSA 2048 M04 at DV validation level and is valid to 2027-01-15.
What to Verify Next
For a regulated procurement or material commercial engagement, the relevant business registration, contractual terms, refund provisions, data-processing terms, and any sector-specific authorisation should be confirmed against the applicable jurisdictional requirements. Official support channels should be confirmed through the site’s published contact and customer-service pages before a sensitive account or billing issue is escalated.
- The customer-support content provides telephone, one-to-one inquiry, and chat contact routes.
- The site presents account login and service-management functions for customers.
- The business description identifies subscriptions, domain sales, managed-service contracts, and reseller programs as its commercial mechanisms.
Summary Verdict
Hosting.kr presents a high-trust, established commercial website with a coherent identity, a conventional technology-services purpose, and no observed scam or impersonation contradictions. Normal interaction, including account login and standard service use, is appropriate.
Infrastructure Integrity
The website is protected by AWS CDN/WAF infrastructure, with observed addresses serving as edge infrastructure rather than exposed origin candidates. This architecture is a positive exposure-control measure that helps reduce direct origin visibility, although protective infrastructure is properly treated as mitigation rather than independent proof of legitimacy.
Closing Assessment
Prospective customers may proceed with normal account and service interactions, while applying the organisation’s standard procurement, contractual, and jurisdiction-specific due-diligence controls for material engagements.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about hosting.kr at assessment time. It is a starting point for your own judgement, not a guarantee: a high score means the signals were consistent with a legitimately operated site, a low or critical score means several risk patterns were present.
TrustSniffer assesses a website from the evidence it can collect at a point in time: domain registration and age, hosting and certificate, the content the site served, and third-party reputation feeds. A score is a summary of that evidence, not a guarantee and not a legal finding. There is no human rating and no user review in it. A site can change after it is assessed.
