Is .group safe? The state of .group domain security
.group is riskier than the internet average. Across 108,985 graded .group domains, 78.8% score an F — worse than the 73.8% global average — heavier on exposed domains than the web as a whole. 1.8% earn a B or better. Most .group 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 .group domains score?
Aggregate grade distribution across all graded .group domains — we never publish an individual business's grade. As of 2026-07-29.
| Grade | Domains | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 37 | 0% |
| A | 157 | 0.1% |
| B | 1,774 | 1.6% |
| C | 6,759 | 6.2% |
| D | 14,346 | 13.2% |
| F | 85,912 | 78.8% |
Does .group 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 .group doesn't protect you, and a high-F-share ending doesn't doom you: a correctly configured .group domain earns an A while the crowd around it sits at F.

Frequently asked questions
Is .group safe?
On average, .group is riskier than the internet average: 78.8% of its 108,985 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 .group domains?
21.2% of .group domains score above an F and 1.8% 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 .group 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 .group too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .group 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.
