Is .ky safe? The state of .ky domain security
.ky is safer than the internet average. Across 5,308 graded .ky domains, 63.2% score an F — cleaner than the 73.8% global average — better company than most of the web. 3.3% earn a B or better. Most .ky 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 .ky domains score?
Aggregate grade distribution across all graded .ky domains — we never publish an individual business's grade. As of 2026-07-29.
| Grade | Domains | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 4 | 0.1% |
| A | 13 | 0.2% |
| B | 156 | 2.9% |
| C | 653 | 12.3% |

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

Frequently asked questions
Is .ky safe?
On average, .ky is safer than the internet average: 63.2% of its 5,308 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 .ky domains?
36.8% of .ky domains score above an F and 3.3% 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 .ky 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 .ky too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .ky 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.
