Is .cpa safe? The state of .cpa domain security
.cpa is safer than the internet average. Across 6,568 graded .cpa domains, 74.2% score an F — cleaner than the 78.3% global average — better company than most of the web. 2.6% earn a B or better. Most .cpa domains can still be impersonated in email, but the ending shifts the odds, not your own domain's grade. As of 2026-08-16.
Of 6,457 graded .cpa domains, 73.8% earn an F — close to the 73.8% internet-wide average. DMARC enforcement here stands at 8.3% — below the 11.8% census-wide rate.

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

Frequently asked questions
Is .cpa safe?
On average, .cpa is safer than the internet average: 74.2% of its 6,568 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 .cpa domains?
25.8% of .cpa domains score above an F and 2.6% 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 .cpa 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 .cpa too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .cpa 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.
