Above.com is a domain registration and parking service that operates mail servers for domains registered through its platform, appearing as the primary MX record across thousands of smaller sites in the Tranco top-1 million list. Its footprint is distributed internationally, with heavy concentration in .com domains and a geographic distribution skewed toward the United States.

Above.com domains frequently appear alongside third-party SMTP relay providers such as Elastic Email, indicating senders are delegating outbound delivery to specialised relay services. In these configurations, the relay provider's authentication records (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) become more relevant to inbound mail handling than Above.com's own MX configuration.
