Is .select safe? The state of .select domain security
.select is about average for the internet. Across 672 graded .select domains, 80.4% score an F — roughly in line with the 78.3% global average. 3.9% earn a B or better. Most .select domains can still be impersonated in email, but the ending shifts the odds, not your own domain's grade. As of 2026-08-16.
Of 672 graded .select domains, 80.4% earn an F — above the 78.3% internet-wide average. Only 0.1% reach an A or A+ — the highest protection tier in the census.
How do .select domains score?
Aggregate grade distribution across all graded .select domains — we never publish an individual business's grade. As of 2026-08-16.
| Grade | Domains | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 0 | 0% |
| A | 1 | 0.1% |
| B | 25 | 3.7% |
| C | 27 | 4% |
| D | 79 | 11.8% |
| F | 540 | 80.4% |
Does .select 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 .select doesn't protect you, and a high-F-share ending doesn't doom you: a correctly configured .select domain earns an A while the crowd around it sits at F.

Frequently asked questions
Is .select safe?
On average, .select is about average for the internet: 80.4% of its 672 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 .select domains?
19.6% of .select domains score above an F and 3.9% 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 .select 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 .select too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .select 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.
