Is .ng safe? The state of .ng domain security — Nigeria
.ng is safer than the internet average. Across 126,059 graded .ng domains, 50% score an F — cleaner than the 73.8% global average — better company than most of the web. 2% earn a B or better. Most .ng 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: .ng is used as a proxy for Nigeria based on the domain's TLD, not where the company is registered.
How do .ng domains score?
Aggregate grade distribution across all graded .ng domains — we never publish an individual business's grade. As of 2026-07-29.
| Grade | Domains | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 18 | 0% |
| A | 72 | 0.1% |
| B | 2,468 | 2% |
| C | 15,783 | 12.5% |
| D | 44,635 | 35.4% |
| F | 63,083 | 50% |
Does .ng 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 .ng doesn't protect you, and a high-F-share ending doesn't doom you: a correctly configured .ng domain earns an A while the crowd around it sits at F.

Frequently asked questions
Is .ng safe?
On average, .ng is safer than the internet average: 50% of its 126,059 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 .ng domains?
50.0% of .ng domains score above an F and 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 .ng 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 .ng too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .ng 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.
