The primary domain of the official Binance website is binance.com, which remains the core entry point for Binance worldwide. If this domain is restricted in your region, you can find regional mirror domains (such as binance.info, binance.bz, accounts.binance.com, etc.) through our Binance Official Gateway page. For Android users, we highly recommend installing the Binance Official App directly to avoid reliance on browsers. iPhone users can refer to our iOS Setup Guide to download it from the App Store using an overseas Apple ID; the web version is merely a transitional solution. Below, we clarify the list of official Binance domains, how to identify phishing sites, and the mirror entries available in different countries. After reading this, you'll be able to judge for yourself which address is the real Binance.
1. Official Binance Domain List (Continuously Updated)
Since its founding in 2017, Binance has used various sub-brands and domains to meet compliance and regulatory requirements in different regions. The following are all legitimate domains held by Binance:
| Domain | Purpose | Applicable Region |
|---|---|---|
| binance.com | Global Main Site | International |
| binance.us | US Version (Independent entity) | United States |
| binance.je | European Fiat On-ramp | Select European countries |
| binance.info | Backup Mirror | Used when main domain is restricted |
| accounts.binance.com | Account System | Global |
| binance.bz | Backup Mirror | Global |
| binance.org | DEX and BNB Chain Entry | Global |
Important: All the above domains are officially held by Binance. When entering a URL, look for the exact spelling of binance. Do not enter variations like binanc, bianance, or binnace—these are 99% likely to be phishing sites that look similar but misspell a single letter.
2. Why binance.com Sometimes Won't Open
If the main domain won't open, it's usually due to one of the following reasons:
1. ISP Hijacking/Restrictions: In some regions, internet service providers (ISPs) perform DNS poisoning or IP blocking on the main Binance domain. In such cases, switching networks (e.g., from WiFi to 4G/5G) or using backup mirrors like binance.info or binance.bz might work.
2. Unsupported Region: If your IP is from the US, Ontario (Canada), Singapore (for certain features), etc., Binance will force a redirection to the corresponding compliant version (e.g., binance.us). You won't see the international binance.com page—this is a normal redirection, not phishing.
3. DNS Resolution Latency: Occasional DNS resolution issues can occur. You can try switching your DNS (to 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8) or flushing your local DNS cache.
4. Temporary Regulatory Takedown: There have been instances where regulators like the UK's FCA or Japan's FSA required Binance to temporarily suspend certain services, leading to risk warning pages during that period.
3. 5 Steps to Identify the Real Binance Website
Phishing sites aim to trick you into entering your account credentials and Google 2FA codes, which can lead to your entire account being emptied. These 5 steps will help you exclude 99% of phishing sites:
Step 1: Check Domain Spelling
Move your cursor to the address bar and read the entire domain character by character. The real Binance domain will always be binance.com or binance.<secondary-suffix>. Common phishing variations include bineance, binanca, bIinance (lowercase 'l' mimicking uppercase 'I'), binance-vip.com, binance-login.cc, etc.
Step 2: Verify the SSL Certificate
Click the 🔒 icon on the left side of the address bar to view the certificate subject. The certificate for the real Binance site should include *.binance.com or binance.com, usually issued by DigiCert, Cloudflare, or Let's Encrypt (for backup mirrors).
Step 3: Check Your Anti-Phishing Code
If you are already logged in, Binance will display your pre-set Anti-Phishing Code at the top of the post-login page and in official emails. If you don't see this code or it appears as gibberish, close the page immediately.
Step 4: Beware of "Customer Support" Pop-ups
The real Binance never displays "Online Support via WeChat" or "Add Support QQ" pop-ups on its homepage. Anyone asking you to add them on WeChat, Telegram, or WhatsApp to handle "unblocking" or "commissions" is a scammer. Official Binance support only contacts users through the internal chat system.
Step 5: Cross-Verification
When in doubt, go to CoinMarketCap and click the official website link on the Binance exchange card; or find a tweet from the official Binance account @binance (blue verification check) on X (Twitter), which will contain the official link.
4. Recommended Mirror Domains by Region
| Region | Recommended Entry | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Mainland China | binance.com / binance.bz | Web version may require DNS switching |
| Hong Kong | binance.com | Full features available |
| Taiwan | binance.com | Full features available |
| Southeast Asia | binance.com | Compliant versions in some countries |
| Europe | binance.com / binance.je | Dedicated fiat on-ramps in some countries |
| North America | binance.us | Must use US version; Global version blocked |
| Japan | binance.co.jp | Japan compliant version (Local users only) |
5. Alternative Solutions for Mobile Access
If your browser consistently fails to open the Binance website, the most stable solution is to install the App directly:
- Android users can get the official APK from our Binance App Download Page, bypassing app stores and browsers.
- iPhone users should log in to the App Store with an overseas Apple ID to download the official Binance application.
- macOS / Windows users can also download the desktop client, which offers an experience identical to the web version.
The App's access channel is independent of the web version; the App usually continues to function normally even when the browser cannot access the site.
6. Habits to Protect Your Account
Finding the real Binance website is just the first step. After logging in, you must set up the following for true security:
- Enable 2FA (Google Authenticator) — An extra dynamic code beyond your password ensures hackers can't get in even with your password.
- Set an Anti-Phishing Code — Customize a 6-8 character string in the Security Center. Every official email from Binance will include this code.
- Withdrawal Whitelist — Add your common withdrawal addresses to a whitelist. Withdrawals to new addresses will require a 24-hour wait.
- Bind Your Phone — Important operations will trigger SMS alerts, notifying you immediately if anyone touches your account.
Once these 4 items are completed, it becomes very difficult for anyone to actually transfer your coins, even if they trick you out of your password.
FAQ
Q1: Is the Binance website accessible now?
A: The international version, binance.com, is still accessible in most regions. Some networks in Mainland China may need DNS switching or mirror domains like binance.bz or binance.info. The most stable solution for Android users is to download the official App directly, as its channel is independent of the browser.
Q2: Which domains are NOT official Binance domains?
A: Any domain with suffixes like -vip, -pro, -cn, -login, or -help (e.g., binance-vip.com, binance-login.cc) is not official. Fake domains are often spread through ads or private message links. Standard search results can also be mixed with fake sites; trusting the pure binance.com spelling is safest.
Q3: Are binance.us and binance.com the same?
A: No. binance.us is an independent compliant entity registered in the US by Binance.US and uses a separate account system from the global binance.com. Accounts registered on binance.com cannot log in to binance.us.
Q4: Is a "Binance Official Website" link from an article/ad safe?
A: Not necessarily. Even if an article looks like a legitimate tutorial site, the link it promotes could be a fake site. The safest practice is to manually enter the domain or get the link from verified sources like CoinMarketCap, official X accounts, or this site. All Binance Official Gateway entry links on this site point directly to official domains without intermediate redirects.
Q5: What if I can't find the Binance website?
A: First, try the backup mirror domains listed in the table above. If it still won't open, Android users should download the APK, and iOS users should install the App via an overseas Apple ID. If even the App cannot log in, it's usually because the account itself is under risk control; refer to our appeal guide in the [Risk Control](/en/vault/Risk Control Control/) category.
