Verifying against the live site and live WHOIS/DNS…
Common questions
Is address.com legit or a scam?
AboutUs doesn't label sites "legit" or "a scam": this page lists the dated registration, DNS, HTTPS, mail-authentication and safety checks we could verify, each with its source, so you can decide for yourself.
Who owns address.com?
Nobody has completed AboutUs's owner verification for address.com. That's true of most sites here — it isn't itself a warning sign.
Correct a description, link or other detail. Submissions are reviewed before publication.

Model score: 25/99 — what these reason lines add up to.
Published Authority (percentile): 46/100 — this site's rank against the August 2026 scored sample. Public Authority is capped at 99.
Safety evidence
No unexpired threat-feed result; name-similarity check available (recorded about 59 days ago); 3/3 transport and email checks available (oldest recorded about 59 days ago). This is evidence coverage, not a probability that a website is safe.
