Is .garden safe? The state of .garden domain security
.garden is riskier than the internet average. Across 110,046 graded .garden domains, 97.8% score an F — worse than the 78.3% global average — heavier on exposed domains than the web as a whole. 0.1% earn a B or better.

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

Frequently asked questions
Is .garden safe?
On average, .garden is riskier than the internet average: 97.8% of its 110,046 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 .garden domains?
2.2% of .garden domains score above an F and 0.1% 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 .garden 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 .garden too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .garden 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.
