Security Considerations

While surge.sh is an established platform, these capabilities require extra vigilance.

User-Generated Content

surge.sh 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

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

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