Is .vc safe? The state of .vc domain security
.vc is about average for the internet. Across 28,418 graded .vc domains, 75.4% score an F — roughly in line with the 73.8% global average. 2.6% earn a B or better. Most .vc 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 .vc domains score?
Aggregate grade distribution across all graded .vc domains — we never publish an individual business's grade. As of 2026-07-29.
| Grade | Domains | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 9 | 0% |
| A | 63 | 0.2% |
| B | 663 | 2.3% |
| C | 2,262 | 8% |
| D | 4,003 | 14.1% |
| F | 21,418 | 75.4% |
Does .vc 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 .vc doesn't protect you, and a high-F-share ending doesn't doom you: a correctly configured .vc domain earns an A while the crowd around it sits at F.

Frequently asked questions
Is .vc safe?
On average, .vc is about average for the internet: 75.4% of its 28,418 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 .vc domains?
24.6% of .vc domains score above an F and 2.6% 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 .vc 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 .vc too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .vc 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.
