Is .zw safe? The state of .zw domain security — Zimbabwe
.zw is safer than the internet average. Across 30,304 graded .zw domains, 37.7% score an F — cleaner than the 73.8% global average — better company than most of the web. 3.3% earn a B or better. Most .zw 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: .zw is used as a proxy for Zimbabwe based on the domain's TLD, not where the company is registered.
How do .zw domains score?
Aggregate grade distribution across all graded .zw domains — we never publish an individual business's grade. As of 2026-07-29.
| Grade | Domains | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 1 | 0% |
| A | 22 | 0.1% |
| B | 982 | 3.2% |

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

Frequently asked questions
Is .zw safe?
On average, .zw is safer than the internet average: 37.7% of its 30,304 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 .zw domains?
62.3% of .zw domains score above an F and 3.3% 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 .zw 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 .zw too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .zw 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.
