Is .cx safe? The state of .cx domain security
.cx is safer than the internet average. Across 11,203 graded .cx domains, 70.4% score an F — cleaner than the 73.8% global average — better company than most of the web. 4.7% earn a B or better. Most .cx 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 .cx domains score?
Aggregate grade distribution across all graded .cx domains — we never publish an individual business's grade. As of 2026-07-29.
| Grade | Domains | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 24 | 0.2% |
| A | 63 | 0.6% |
| B | 441 | 3.9% |

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

Frequently asked questions
Is .cx safe?
On average, .cx is safer than the internet average: 70.4% of its 11,203 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 .cx domains?
29.6% of .cx domains score above an F and 4.7% 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 .cx 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 .cx too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .cx 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.
