Security Considerations
While web.com is an established platform, these capabilities require extra vigilance.
Form Builder
web.com enables anyone to create forms that collect user data. Attackers use this to create fake login pages or payment forms. Never enter passwords or financial information on forms hosted here unless you initiated the process yourself.
User-Generated Content
web.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
web.com allows users to create custom addresses like "anything.web.com". An address like "paypal-secure.web.com" may look official but is actually controlled by whoever registered that subdomain—not Web.com Group, Inc..
Remember: The platform itself is established, but even established platforms can be abused.
