The official site is strongiptvstream.com and nothing else. If you landed on a page with a similar name, a different spelling, or a .net or .shop ending, you're not on ours. That matters, because your payment and your subscription live wherever you bought them, not wherever you meant to buy them. Check the address bar first.
Check the address bar before you pay
The domain is the whole test. Look at it before you type a card number or an email address. Ours is strongiptvstream.com, served over HTTPS on port 443, with a padlock showing in the browser. If that padlock is missing, or your browser stops you with "Your connection is not private", don't go any further. That warning means the certificate doesn't match the site you're actually on, and on a checkout page there's no innocent reason for it.
The copies are usually close. An extra word in the domain. A hyphen where ours has none. A swapped letter that reads correctly at a glance. Some of them mirror our layout almost exactly, down to the button colours and the section order. The design proves nothing. Anyone can copy a design in an afternoon.

Why the name gets copied so often
"Strong" is a common word in this market, and nobody owns it as a search term. So a lot of operators use it. Some are running their own service under a name they chose independently, which is fair enough. Others are shadowing ours on purpose to pick up traffic we earned. From a results page they all look roughly the same: similar name, similar description, similar promises.
There's no central registry that tells you which is which. Nobody is going to sort it out for you, so the checking falls to you. That's the reason this page exists.
Price is a weak signal here. A copy can charge what we charge, or less, or more, and still take the money and go quiet. Compare what you're being shown against our published subscription plans instead of against whatever looks cheapest on the page in front of you. If the numbers don't line up with ours, you're not looking at us.
Where our emails and invoices come from
Everything we send comes from an address ending in @strongiptvstream.com. Order confirmations, renewal reminders, support replies, password resets. All of it. If a renewal notice arrives from a free webmail account and asks you to pay through a link, it isn't from us, however closely the wording matches something we've written.
Two things are worth opening on any email you're unsure about:
The full sender address, not the display name — display names are trivially faked and most mail apps show you nothing else by default.
The real destination of every link. On a desktop browser, hover over the link and read the status bar in the bottom left corner before you click.
Your order reference is 12 characters long and arrives in the confirmation email within a few minutes of payment. If you can't find a reference anywhere in your inbox, that's a strong sign the purchase didn't happen here.
What we can't do about a copycat charge
Here's the part nobody wants to read. If you paid a site that isn't ours, we can't refund you. That money went through a different processor into a different merchant account, and we have no visibility into it and no way to reverse it. What we can do is confirm whether an order reference belongs to us. That's genuinely the limit of what's available to us.
We also can't get those sites taken down on any timescale that helps you. Reports go to registrars and hosting providers, they take weeks when they work at all, and an operator who's paying attention has a new domain running the next day.
Most of these arrive in our inbox on Monday morning, after a weekend purchase, and the answer we give is the same one you're reading. Your recourse is your bank.
If that's where you are right now, open a dispute with your card issuer and keep four things ready:
The checkout page URL you paid on
The amount charged
The date of the charge
The descriptor that appeared on your statement
Those are what the issuer asks for, and the dispute moves faster when you have them in front of you.
A 5-step check before you subscribe
Run through this before you enter anything on a payment page.
Read the domain character by character. Not the logo, not the page heading, not the tab title. The domain in the address bar.
Confirm the connection. The page should load over HTTPS with a valid certificate and no warning screen.
Open the contact page and the refund page. Copies frequently leave these broken, blank, or pointing at a form that goes nowhere.
Send a test message. Use the contact form and check which address the reply comes from.
Start small. Take the trial rather than committing to a 12-month plan straight away. If something's off, you find out cheaply.
Devices are worth a look too, especially if someone else set yours up. On a Fire TV, open Settings > Applications > Manage Installed Applications and read through what's actually on the box. If there's a player you don't remember installing, or one that came preloaded from whoever sold you the device, treat whatever portal address it points at exactly like an unknown domain in a browser. Preloaded boxes are one of the more common ways people end up subscribed to something they never chose.
Common questions
Is a site with a name like yours run by you?
No. We operate one domain, strongiptvstream.com, and one set of email addresses on that domain. Anything else carrying a similar name is a separate business, and we can't tell you how it operates, what it delivers, or whether it will still be there next month.
I already paid a different site. Can you activate my subscription?
We can't. That payment created an account somewhere else and we have no access to it. Go back to whoever took the money first and ask them to sort it out. If there's no useful reply within 48 hours, take it to your card issuer.
How do I know a provider is licensed where I live?
Licensing is regional. Rights to distribute content are granted country by country, and a provider that's properly licensed in one market may have no rights at all in another. You're responsible for choosing a service that's licensed in your own country, so ask a provider directly what it holds rights to and where, and get the answer before you pay.
Does a lower price mean I'm looking at a copy?
Not reliably. Some legitimate providers charge less than we do, and some copies charge more to look credible. Price on its own tells you very little. The domain, and the address a reply arrives from, tell you a great deal. Bookmark strongiptvstream.com now, and if you're unsure whether an order is ours, send the reference through our contact form and we'll confirm it either way.
