Is .uy safe? The state of .uy domain security — Uruguay
.uy is safer than the internet average. Across 49,063 graded .uy domains, 45.5% score an F — cleaner than the 73.8% global average — better company than most of the web. 2.8% earn a B or better. Most .uy 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: .uy is used as a proxy for Uruguay based on the domain's TLD, not where the company is registered.

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

Frequently asked questions
Is .uy safe?
On average, .uy is safer than the internet average: 45.5% of its 49,063 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 .uy domains?
54.5% of .uy domains score above an F and 2.8% 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 .uy 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 .uy too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .uy 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.
