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

.store is riskier than the internet average. Across 1,803,231 graded .store domains, 86.5% score an F — worse than the 73.8% global average — heavier on exposed domains than the web as a whole. 0.7% earn a B or better. Most .store 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 .store domains score?

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

Frequently asked questions

Is .store safe?

On average, .store is riskier than the internet average: 86.5% of its 1,803,231 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 .store domains?

13.5% of .store domains score above an F and 0.7% 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 .store 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 .store too.

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