Defaults.Exposed

Your domain can reach an A. This is what it costs.

Priced per domain. The scan and the fix guide stay free: that part never changes.

Most domains let anyone forge email as them, 74% grade F. Scan yours free, then this page gets specific.

Which domain(s) is this for? Optional now: we confirm at fulfilment. Comma-separate multiple.

A-Grade Playbook

$24.75 per domain Launch price until 30 September, normally $99. Applied for you at checkout.

You know what's broken. This is how you fix it without breaking anything else.

The expensive part of DNS work isn't doing it: it's doing it in the wrong order. Turn DMARC enforcement on before your newsletter tool is aligned and your own invoices go to spam. Publish the wrong CAA set and your certificate quietly fails to renew weeks later. Change nameservers with a DS record in place and your domain goes dark. None of these mistakes announce themselves. All of them are avoidable if you know the sequence.

The Playbook is your domain's specific route from today's grade to an A, built from your live scan:

In one line: the free guide tells you what is broken, the Playbook tells you in what order, at your provider, without taking your email down on the way.

For context: in 2023 the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center logged 21,489 business email compromise complaints reporting exactly this: an email that looked like the real thing, asking for payment to changed bank details. Over $2.9 billion in adjusted losses, about $137,000 per complaint (FBI IC3 2023 Internet Crime Report). This costs $24.75, and it replaces the consulting engagement without forgetting a step.

The guarantee: follow the steps and, if your domain has not reached an A within 60 days, we refund every cent you paid. Our own re-check is the referee, the same engine that grades every domain in the census, including ours. Conditions.

And it never strands you: get stuck anywhere, and every cent credits against any done-for-you work we quote you for 90 days. Worst case, you paid nothing to find out you'd rather we did it.

Fix It For Me

$499 per domain, one-off

You could do all of this. Realistically, when?

The Playbook exists for people who'll clear an afternoon. This exists for everyone else. We take your domain to an A-grade, records written, sequenced, verified, and you do approximately three things: forward one email to whoever holds your registrar login, approve two changes, and watch the grade change.

The guarantee is not fine print: we get you to A-grade, measured against the public methodology version pinned to your order, or you pay nothing. Not a discount. Nothing. Conditions apply.

One-off, no subscription. If you'd rather your domain stayed watched and re-proven every year, the tier below is the better deal, we'll tell you that at checkout too.

Free scan: $0

About a second. No email. No account.

Every domain on the internet either proves who it is, or hopes nobody asks. We run the same 34 checks we've run across the whole census, grade you A+ to F, and show you where you stand against every other domain on your TLD. About 74% of domains grade F. Most owners have simply never looked.

The scan is free because the looking should never be the hard part.

Every claim on this page is measurable against the same public methodology that grades every domain in our census, including ours. Scan us: defaults.exposed.
