Verifying against the live site and live WHOIS/DNS…
Common questions
Is craftster.org 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 craftster.org?
Nobody has completed AboutUs's owner verification for craftster.org. 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.
The site's bot protection blocked AboutUs's HTTPS check; all 1 of the other checks passed (Oct 27, 2026).

Authority 50/100— ahead of 50% of the August 2026 scored sampleClear
Why this authority score
50 is a percentile: higher than 50% of sites we score.
How it's calculated
Prominence (Tranco rank #249,014)+6
Verified continuity: 23.3 years (RDAP registration)+10
Security & email hygiene+3
Calibration adjustment (published map)+8
Model score: 27/99 — what these reason lines add up to.
Published Authority (percentile): 50/100 — 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 65 days ago); 3/3 transport and email checks available (oldest recorded about 65 days ago). This is evidence coverage, not a probability that a website is safe.
No caution flags in the available scoring observations; this is not a complete safety assessment
