Is .ee safe? The state of .ee domain security — Estonia
.ee is safer than the internet average. Across 172,192 graded .ee domains, 60.1% score an F — cleaner than the 78.3% global average — better company than most of the web. 2.5% earn a B or better. Most .ee 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 .ee zone — covering Estonia — 49.5% of 141,991 graded domains earn an F, well below the 73.8% internet-wide average. DNSSEC adoption is 30.9% here, notably higher than the 6.3% census-wide rate.
Note: .ee is used as a proxy for Estonia based on the domain's TLD, not where the company is registered.
How do .ee domains score?
Aggregate grade distribution across all graded .ee domains — we never publish an individual business's grade. As of 2026-08-16.
| Grade | Domains | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 128 | 0.1% |
| A | 438 | 0.3% |
| B | 3,686 | 2.1% |
| C | 22,655 | 13.2% |
| D | 41,872 | 24.3% |
| F | 103,413 | 60.1% |
Does .ee 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 .ee doesn't protect you, and a high-F-share ending doesn't doom you: a correctly configured .ee domain earns an A while the crowd around it sits at F.

Frequently asked questions
Is .ee safe?
On average, .ee is safer than the internet average: 60.1% of its 172,192 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 .ee domains?
39.9% of .ee domains score above an F and 2.5% 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 .ee 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 .ee too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .ee 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.
