Hi i am trying to launch a page through google ads, however its been delayed due to google ads system detecting a perticular host as malicious

Below i have copy and pasted what google ads support team have got back to me with

Investigation:

We've received an update from our team regarding your requested site, 'hubspotpagebuilder[.]com'. Our latest scan indicates an issue due to one of its hosts: 3popularnewspolland-45475073[.]hubspotpagebuilder[.]com/.

This specific host has been detected as a malicious entity by our system, which is preventing us from re-enabling your site at this time.

Any advise on how i can remove this hazard from my website so that i can publish would be very very helpful!! (:

Hi @Anderson0001 and welcome, we are so glad to have you here!

Thanks for asking the HubSpot Community and thanks for sharing the error message!

I see that you have open a similar thread here "Launching Landing page & unable due to "malicious host" after getting hold of google ad"s support". Please refrain from doing this so that we can solve this quicker and so that it doesn't create confusion.

This article "Understanding the Dreaded Deceptive Website Warning — Here's Everything You Need to Know" might be of interest to you.

Is your website crawlable? If you want to check, you can Ask Google to recrawl your URLs.
What is the URL of your website?
I believe that it may be an automatic detection by the system that flagged your website by mistake. You might want to submit a ticket with the Google Support Team to double check on this.

Also, I'd love to put you in touch with our Top Experts: Hi @TomM2, @Mike_Eastwood and @danmoyle do you have tips to share with @Anderson0001, please?

Have a beautiful day and thanks a lot in advance!

Hey @Anderson0001 I wouldn't recomend using the HubSpotpagebuilder domains for your website or ads. They're really just designed as temporary domains to demo your site while building. As far as I'm aware they have a built in no-follow no-index rule too so they're not going to rank on any search engines.

It would make sense that they get flagged as malicious at some stage too since anyone can create a site on hubspotpagebuilder.com for free, so I'm sure plenty of bad actors have tried to create scam sites with this. You should purchase your own domain and connect it to HubSpot, that way you have full control over the domain and it will be viewed as a fresh domain by google.
