archive.is Overview

Description of archive.is

archive.is appears to be a web archiving service that lets users save and view snapshots of web pages. Services of this type are commonly used to preserve content that may later change or disappear, and to provide a stable reference copy for research, citation, or sharing.

Based on the domain name, infrastructure, and long operating history, the site appears to function as part of a broader archive-related network using multiple country-code domains. Its high traffic ranking suggests it is a widely used public utility on the web rather than a newly created or obscure domain.

Safety Assessment for archive.is

The available scan results are broadly reassuring. At the time of this scan, 0 out of 91 security engines flagged the domain, the malware scan reported no flagged files, and the checked blacklist and threat-database sources did not report listings. The domain also has a long registration history of about 14 years, which generally reduces the likelihood of it being a short-lived abusive site.

From a reputation standpoint, the site appears well established, with a strong traffic ranking and no detected malicious external links or iframes in the scanned sample. As with any public web service, archived content itself can vary because users may preserve pages from many different sources, but based on available scan data, no significant threats were detected at the time of this scan.

Technical Description

The domain was using a valid Let's Encrypt SSL certificate at the time of inspection, with expiry shown as 2026-07-06. DNSSEC appears to be unsigned, which is not uncommon but means DNS responses do not benefit from DNSSEC validation. The domain uses multiple nameservers across related archive-branded domains, suggesting distributed infrastructure.

The resolved IP address was 165.140.203.149, hosted by Spearware Networks LLC in New York, United States. No major technical security concerns were evident from the provided scan data beyond the absence of DNSSEC and the lack of disclosed server software details.
