Is .bot safe? The state of .bot domain security
.bot is riskier than the internet average. Across 20,147 graded .bot domains, 79.6% score an F — worse than the 73.8% global average — heavier on exposed domains than the web as a whole. 1.7% earn a B or better. Most .bot domains can still be impersonated in email, but the ending shifts the odds, not your own domain's grade. As of 2026-07-29.
How do .bot domains score?
Aggregate grade distribution across all graded .bot domains — we never publish an individual business's grade. As of 2026-07-29.
| Grade | Domains | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 9 | 0% |
| A | 25 | 0.1% |
| B | 310 | 1.5% |
| C | 1,115 | 5.5% |
| D | 2,646 | 13.1% |
| F | 16,042 | 79.6% |
Does .bot 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 .bot doesn't protect you, and a high-F-share ending doesn't doom you: a correctly configured .bot domain earns an A while the crowd around it sits at F.

Frequently asked questions
Is .bot safe?
On average, .bot is riskier than the internet average: 79.6% of its 20,147 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 .bot domains?
20.4% of .bot domains score above an F and 1.7% 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 .bot 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 .bot too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .bot 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.
