How secure are United States's domains?
Most businesses in United States use a .us domain. Across 1,529,962 of them, here's how their security stacks up — aggregate patterns only, never an individual business. As of 2026-08-16.
In the .us zone — covering United States — 82.7% of 1,322,723 graded domains earn an F, well above the 73.8% internet-wide average. Only 0.2% reach an A or A+ — the highest protection tier in the census.
We use .us as a stand-in for United States, based on the domain's ending rather than where a company is legally registered — so United States businesses using a generic ending like .com aren't counted here.
Grade distribution
| Grade | Domains | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 525 | 0% |
| A | 1,779 | 0.1% |
| B | 17,195 | 1.1% |
| C | 67,396 | 4.4% |
| D | 143,228 | 9.4% |
| F | 1,299,839 | 85% |
