A Question About Your Site Users

I consider myself a newbie. Yes, I've been here for a little over 2 years now but I didn't really get serious about this until the beginning of November 2018. So, I'm really just a little over 2 months in.

I've been working my way through the training. Found a niche, created a website, and I'm starting to publish articles. I'm fighting the battle and rejoicing over small victories where ever they may be, no matter how big or how small. A win is a win as they say in the sports world.

One of those 'wins' was people siging up on my website. Users in the venacular of WordPress. But I'm a little confused by them on a couple of levels. Perhaps because I don't really understand the big picture yet.

I assume those are people who have 'subscribed' to my blog? So that's a good thing right? I post a new artcle, they get notified, they go read it, hopefully comment about it, and I get brownie points from Google. Is that somewhat accurate?

Where I'm confused is that 5 of my 18 users have the email domain @miss.wheets.com. (18 users isn't too bad at this point is it??)

I thought that odd so I googled it and it looks like that is a domain that has been repeatedly reported for spam. The worst of it was back in the late part of 2016 and early part of 2017 but there have been some spikes along the way since then.

My question is this. Do I need to be concerned about those users? So far they've submitted no comments and even if they did my settings are such that I moderate all comments so they wouldn't see the light of day unless I approved them anyway.

I certainly don't want to alienate anyone, especially when they've been playing nice to this point in time. I need all the support I can get. Right?

Any feedback /personal experience you guys can give me concerning site users would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
