Is .gs safe? The state of .gs domain security
.gs is riskier than the internet average. Across 6,227 graded .gs domains, 86.8% score an F — worse than the 78.3% global average — heavier on exposed domains than the web as a whole. 1.6% earn a B or better. Most .gs domains can still be impersonated in email, but the ending shifts the odds, not your own domain's grade. As of 2026-08-16.
How do .gs domains score?
Aggregate grade distribution across all graded .gs domains — we never publish an individual business's grade. As of 2026-08-16.
| Grade | Domains | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 3 | 0% |
| A | 8 | 0.1% |
| B | 88 | 1.4% |
| C | 236 | 3.8% |
| D | 488 | 7.8% |
| F | 5,404 | 86.8% |
Does .gs 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 .gs doesn't protect you, and a high-F-share ending doesn't doom you: a correctly configured .gs domain earns an A while the crowd around it sits at F.

Frequently asked questions
Is .gs safe?
On average, .gs is riskier than the internet average: 86.8% of its 6,227 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 .gs domains?
13.2% of .gs domains score above an F and 1.6% 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 .gs 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 .gs too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .gs 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.
