Is .sl safe? The state of .sl domain security

Partial dataset — .sl is still being processed; figures firm up in the next edition.

.sl is safer than the internet average. Across 580 graded .sl domains, 54.3% score an F — cleaner than the 78.3% global average — better company than most of the web. 4.3% earn a B or better. Most .sl domains can still be impersonated in email, but the ending shifts the odds, not your own domain's grade. As of 2026-08-16.

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

Frequently asked questions

Is .sl safe?

On average, .sl is safer than the internet average: 54.3% of its 580 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 .sl domains?

45.7% of .sl domains score above an F and 4.3% 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 .sl 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 .sl too.

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