Is .ye safe? The state of .ye domain security
Partial dataset — .ye is still being processed; figures firm up in the next edition.
.ye is safer than the internet average. Across 405 graded .ye domains, 68.4% score an F — cleaner than the 78.3% global average — better company than most of the web. 4.7% earn a B or better. Most .ye domains can still be impersonated in email, but the ending shifts the odds, not your own domain's grade. As of 2026-08-16.
How do .ye domains score?
Aggregate grade distribution across all graded .ye domains — we never publish an individual business's grade. As of 2026-08-16.
| Grade | Domains | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 0 | 0% |
| A | 3 | 0.7% |
| B | 16 | 4% |
| C | 35 | 8.6% |
| D | 74 | 18.3% |
| F | 277 | 68.4% |
Does .ye 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 .ye doesn't protect you, and a high-F-share ending doesn't doom you: a correctly configured .ye domain earns an A while the crowd around it sits at F.

Frequently asked questions
Is .ye safe?
On average, .ye is safer than the internet average: 68.4% of its 405 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 .ye domains?
31.6% of .ye domains score above an F and 4.7% 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 .ye 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 .ye too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .ye 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.
