Is .network safe? The state of .network domain security
.network is about average for the internet. Across 76,826 graded .network domains, 80.3% score an F — roughly in line with the 78.3% global average. 2.2% earn a B or better. Most .network 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 66,658 graded .network domains, 72.2% earn an F — below the 73.8% internet-wide average. Only 0.4% reach an A or A+ — the highest protection tier in the census.
How do .network domains score?
Aggregate grade distribution across all graded .network domains — we never publish an individual business's grade. As of 2026-08-16.
| Grade | Domains | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 71 | 0.1% |
| A | 219 | 0.3% |
| B | 1,382 | 1.8% |
| C | 5,389 | 7% |
| D | 8,090 | 10.5% |
| F | 61,675 | 80.3% |
Does .network 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 .network doesn't protect you, and a high-F-share ending doesn't doom you: a correctly configured .network domain earns an A while the crowd around it sits at F.

Frequently asked questions
Is .network safe?
On average, .network is about average for the internet: 80.3% of its 76,826 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 .network domains?
19.7% of .network domains score above an F and 2.2% 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 .network 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 .network too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .network 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.
