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

Frequently asked questions

Is .works safe?

On average, .works is about average for the internet: 71.9% of its 35,266 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 .works domains?

28.1% of .works 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 .works 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 .works too.

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