Is .be safe? The state of .be domain security — Belgium
.be is safer than the internet average. Across 941,963 graded .be domains, 50.4% score an F — cleaner than the 73.8% global average — better company than most of the web. 5.2% earn a B or better. Most .be domains can still be impersonated in email, but the ending shifts the odds, not your own domain's grade. As of 2026-07-29.
Note: .be is used as a proxy for Belgium based on the domain's TLD, not where the company is registered.

Does .be make a domain secure?
No — and that's the most important thing to know. A domain's grade is decided by how it is configured (SPF, DMARC, HTTPS, DNS), not by its ending. Choosing .be doesn't protect you, and a high-F-share ending doesn't doom you: a correctly configured .be domain earns an A while the crowd around it sits at F.

Frequently asked questions
Is .be safe?
On average, .be is safer than the internet average: 50.4% of its 941,963 graded domains score an F as of 2026-07-29, against a 73.8% global average. Most domains on every ending are exposed — the ending shifts the odds, not your own domain's grade.
How secure are .be domains?
49.6% of .be domains score above an F and 5.2% earn a B or better. The rest fail the basic externally observable protections, most importantly enforced SPF and DMARC, so they can be impersonated in email.
Does choosing .be make my domain secure?
No. A domain's grade comes from how it is configured — SPF, DMARC, HTTPS, DNS — not from its ending. A well-configured domain earns an A on any ending; an unconfigured one sits at F on .be too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .be domain?
It fails the basic protections we can observe from outside — above all, it has no enforced SPF and DMARC, so its email can be forged and its customers targeted with convincing fakes.
