Is .al safe? The state of .al domain security — Albania
.al is safer than the internet average. Across 27,813 graded .al domains, 56.6% score an F — cleaner than the 78.3% global average — better company than most of the web. 3.4% earn a B or better. Most .al domains can still be impersonated in email, but the ending shifts the odds, not your own domain's grade. As of 2026-08-16.
In the .al zone — covering Albania — 48.8% of 22,406 graded domains earn an F, well below the 73.8% internet-wide average. DMARC enforcement here stands at 20.5% — above the 11.8% census-wide rate.
Note: .al is used as a proxy for Albania based on the domain's TLD, not where the company is registered.
How do .al domains score?
Aggregate grade distribution across all graded .al domains — we never publish an individual business's grade. As of 2026-08-16.
| Grade | Domains | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 2 | 0% |
| A | 72 | 0.3% |
| B | 868 | 3.1% |
| C | 3,623 | 13% |
| D | 7,501 | 27% |
| F | 15,747 | 56.6% |
Does .al 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 .al doesn't protect you, and a high-F-share ending doesn't doom you: a correctly configured .al domain earns an A while the crowd around it sits at F.

Frequently asked questions
Is .al safe?
On average, .al is safer than the internet average: 56.6% of its 27,813 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 .al domains?
43.4% of .al domains score above an F and 3.4% 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 .al 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 .al too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .al 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.
