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

Frequently asked questions

Is .rich safe?

On average, .rich is riskier than the internet average: 81.5% of its 401 graded domains score an F as of 2026-08-16, against a 78.3% global average. Most domains on every ending are exposed — the ending shifts the odds, not your own domain's grade.

How secure are .rich domains?

18.5% of .rich domains score above an F and 2.5% 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 .rich 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 .rich too.

What does "grade F" mean for a .rich 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.
