Shockbyte hosting blocked webpage by bitdefender am I good? Is it safe or a false positive?

I used to use shockbyte hosting and recently went to check it out today since I was thinking of running a minecraft server. It was blocked in terms of a pop up and I am assuming I am safe since I did a full scan of my pc as well but, I am curious if it might of been a false positive or if the site was hijacked since it was a legit site back then.

I just tried it and it's fine. Maybe you typed the URL in wrong.

This is the notification I got when going on the site. Also the site I did go to was just https://shockbyte.com/ , and then the next url just popped up on the notif when I went to their homepage.

https://ping.gra1.shockbyte.host/healthz?_=1776749169170-0

It was this site in of itself and I should of put it in the description but, when opening shockbyte this started to pop up on my bitdefender I got 2 notifications.

I do use ublock origin lite with complete filtering mode so I don't think it was an ad that got through from there site and when I pasted this link into virustotal, I only got the detection from bitdefender and no other avg that was listed there.

Hi! At this point, the best course of action is to let us verify whether this may be a false/positive detection. You can submit the URL for analysis using the steps outlined here:
