Is .solar safe? The state of .solar domain security

.solar is about average for the internet. Across 9,733 graded .solar domains, 80.4% score an F — roughly in line with the 78.3% global average. 1.4% earn a B or better. Most .solar 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 8,841 graded .solar domains, 76.8% earn an F — above the 73.8% internet-wide average. Only 0.1% reach an A or A+ — the highest protection tier in the census.

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

Frequently asked questions

Is .solar safe?

On average, .solar is about average for the internet: 80.4% of its 9,733 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 .solar domains?

19.6% of .solar domains score above an F and 1.4% 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 .solar 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 .solar too.

What does "grade F" mean for a .solar 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.
