About alibaba.com

alibaba.com went online 27 years ago. It is hosted in China. Its content suggests it is an E-commerce website. It is one of the most visited websites worldwide (#310). None of the security databases we monitor list it. Its connection is encrypted (padlock in the address bar) — good, though scam sites can have this too. On the website we noticed: no contact page, e-mail address or phone number; no privacy policy.
