Key findings

- Domain age: more than 10 years (registration continuity).
- VirusTotal and Google Safe Browsing had no flags for this domain; its hosting IP carries AbuseIPDB reports below the confidence level TrustSniffer treats as a flag.
- The operator behind the site could not be independently connected to a real-world brand or person.
Full analysis
Overview
IPinfo is a commercial SaaS and data-API provider presenting IP geolocation, ASN, privacy-detection, mobile-carrier, and network-intelligence products for developers and enterprises, with tiered plans, a limited free tier, documentation, and account-access functions.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
No contradictions were observed: the available evidence identifies no phishing, impersonation, malicious-domain, or confirmed blacklist finding. The site's commercial presentation is coherent, with substantive product descriptions, pricing, documentation, and legal links rather than unsupported financial or promotional claims. A separate reputational signal consists of abuse reports associated with the shared Google Cloud IP address serving the site; the attribution is to shared provider infrastructure and does not establish that the reports concern IPinfo. The domain also has a long registration history, a strong global traffic footprint, clean external reputation results, and high page-authority signals, which converge on an established site while not independently proving the operator's real-world identity.
- Homepage: presents IP intelligence products, developer and enterprise use cases, pricing, documentation, and account functions without detected red-flag content.
- Domain registration record: registered 2013-04-23 and approximately 13.32 years old.
- External reputation evaluation: 0 malicious detections, 0 suspicious detections, and no malicious Safe Browsing result; traffic rank recorded as 1037.
- Hosting-IP reputation record: 32 abuse reports against 34.117.59.81, attributed to shared Google Cloud infrastructure rather than specifically to the website.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The site presents a conventional commercial data-service model rather than claiming to be a financial or regulated investment provider. Its homepage links to legal materials, documentation, pricing, and account services, supporting a commercially structured presentation; however, the real-world operator identity remains independently unverified, and the registration record uses a privacy service as an administrative arrangement. No financial licence or licence number is claimed on the supplied pages, so any regulated use of the service would require separate confirmation of the relevant contracting entity and permissions. The available evidence is therefore consistent with an established, apparently legitimate website, but does not prove the legal identity of its operator.
- Domain registration record: registrar listed as 101domain; creation date 2013-04-23T17:30:12Z and expiration date 2028-04-23T17:30:12Z.
- Hosting telemetry: served from AS396982, Google Cloud Platform / Google LLC, United States.
- Transport security: TLS certificate issued by YR2, validation level DV, valid to 2026-10-30.
- Homepage: legal, documentation, pricing, login, and signup links are present.
What to Verify Next
Before a credential or payment interaction, the prospective customer should confirm the contracting entity named in the applicable terms and privacy materials through an independent business registry or an established offline contact route. Subscription terms, renewal mechanics, refund provisions, and payment-protection options should be reviewed before committing to a paid plan. Where the service is intended for a regulated workflow, procurement should separately confirm whether the proposed use requires any sector-specific licence or contractual assurance.
- Terms and privacy pages: available for independent review of the contracting entity, data responsibilities, and governing provisions.
- Pricing and account pages: provide the relevant basis for checking plan scope, billing terms, and renewal conditions.
- Contact and sales pathways: available for independent confirmation of the commercial counterparty before procurement or payment.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is high trust and low risk, with no observed scam or impersonation contradictions. The evidence is consistent with an established, apparently legitimate commercial website, while operator identity verification remains a separate unresolved matter.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site uses mainstream Google Cloud hosting, with no CDN detected and two likely origin IP candidates resolved. This is a conventional and generally mitigating infrastructure arrangement, but hosting quality alone is not proof of legitimacy.
- Hosting infrastructure: AS396982, Google Cloud Platform / Google LLC, United States; 2 unique IP addresses resolved, with 0 edge IPs and 2 likely origin IP candidates.
- TLS telemetry: certificate issuer YR2, DV validation, expiry 2026-10-30T14:39:07+00:00.
Closing Assessment
Normal business evaluation is proportionate, provided that the contracting entity, commercial terms, and payment protections are independently confirmed before sensitive or financially binding activity.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about ipinfo.io 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.
