Is .by safe? The state of .by domain security — Belarus
.by is safer than the internet average. Across 99,582 graded .by domains, 46.9% score an F — cleaner than the 73.8% global average — better company than most of the web. 1.2% earn a B or better. Most .by 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: .by is used as a proxy for Belarus based on the domain's TLD, not where the company is registered.
How do .by domains score?
Aggregate grade distribution across all graded .by domains — we never publish an individual business's grade. As of 2026-07-29.
| Grade | Domains | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 8 | 0% |
| A | 50 | 0.1% |
| B | 1,135 | 1.1% |

Does .by 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 .by doesn't protect you, and a high-F-share ending doesn't doom you: a correctly configured .by domain earns an A while the crowd around it sits at F.

Frequently asked questions
Is .by safe?
On average, .by is safer than the internet average: 46.9% of its 99,582 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 .by domains?
53.1% of .by domains score above an F and 1.2% 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 .by 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 .by too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .by 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.
