Is .cl safe? The state of .cl domain security — Chile
.cl is safer than the internet average. Across 564,972 graded .cl domains, 57.9% score an F — cleaner than the 78.3% global average — better company than most of the web. 2.4% earn a B or better. Most .cl 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 .cl zone — covering Chile — 53.8% of 447,533 graded domains earn an F, well below the 73.8% internet-wide average. Only 0.1% reach an A or A+ — the highest protection tier in the census.
Note: .cl is used as a proxy for Chile based on the domain's TLD, not where the company is registered.
How do .cl domains score?
Aggregate grade distribution across all graded .cl domains — we never publish an individual business's grade. As of 2026-08-16.
| Grade | Domains | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 116 | 0% |
| A | 743 | 0.1% |
| B | 12,513 | 2.2% |
| C | 68,976 | 12.2% |

| F | 326,916 | 57.9% |
Does .cl 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 .cl doesn't protect you, and a high-F-share ending doesn't doom you: a correctly configured .cl domain earns an A while the crowd around it sits at F.

Frequently asked questions
Is .cl safe?
On average, .cl is safer than the internet average: 57.9% of its 564,972 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 .cl domains?
42.1% of .cl domains score above an F and 2.4% 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 .cl 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 .cl too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .cl 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.
