Is .space safe? The state of .space domain security
.space is riskier than the internet average. Across 569,234 graded .space domains, 87% score an F — worse than the 78.3% global average — heavier on exposed domains than the web as a whole. 0.8% earn a B or better. Most .space 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 470,929 graded .space domains, 85.8% earn an F — well above the 73.8% internet-wide average. DMARC enforcement here stands at 7.6% — below the 11.8% census-wide rate.
How do .space domains score?
Aggregate grade distribution across all graded .space domains — we never publish an individual business's grade. As of 2026-08-16.
| Grade | Domains | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 86 | 0% |
| A | 445 | 0.1% |
| B | 3,865 | 0.7% |
| C | 20,377 | 3.6% |
| D | 48,983 | 8.6% |
| F | 495,478 | 87% |
Does .space 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 .space doesn't protect you, and a high-F-share ending doesn't doom you: a correctly configured .space domain earns an A while the crowd around it sits at F.

Frequently asked questions
Is .space safe?
On average, .space is riskier than the internet average: 87% of its 569,234 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 .space domains?
13.0% of .space domains score above an F and 0.8% 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 .space 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 .space too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .space 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.
