Security Considerations

While homestead.com is an established platform, these capabilities require extra vigilance.

File Hosting

homestead.com allows users to upload and share files. Any file you download was uploaded by another user—not the platform operator. Scan downloads with antivirus software and only download from sources you trust.

User-Generated Content

homestead.com hosts content created by its users, not the platform operator. Individual posts, profiles, or pages may contain scams, misinformation, or phishing attempts that the platform hasn't yet detected or removed.

Custom Subdomains

homestead.com allows users to create custom addresses like "anything.homestead.com". An address like "paypal-secure.homestead.com" may look official but is actually controlled by whoever registered that subdomain—not Homestead Technologies.

Remember: The platform itself is established, but even established platforms can be abused.
