Risk signals

Risk signals None found

Nothing stood out. That is not a guarantee of safety — only public information was examined.

Domain age 22 years (2004-06-04 registered)

The domain has been maintained for a long time.

Certificate issued 83 days ago

Certificates are renewed regularly, so a recent date on its own is normal.

Signs of real operation mail configured · SPF present

Mail is properly configured too — not something hastily built sites usually bother with.

Who serves this site

DNS provider b.ns.instagram.com

DNS records are managed here — this is where you log in to add or change them.

b.ns.instagram.com · d.ns.instagram.com · c.ns.instagram.com
CDN / edge Could not determine

Requests pass through this layer before reaching the real server. It also hides the origin from visitors.

Origin host (estimated) instagram-p42-shv-02-hkg4.fbcdn.net

Estimated from the IP registration. A CDN in front makes the true origin invisible from outside, which is the safer arrangement.

IP 157.240.211.174
Mail provider mxb-00082601.gslb.pphosted.com

This service handles mail for the domain. Follow its documentation when setting SPF and DMARC.
