At present, there are already 150,000 .ee domains in the world!
We are delighted to share a news story that is round and fortified with several zeros; namely, there are already more than 150,000 top-level Estonian domains in the world or Internet addresses ending in .ee.
The fact that this round number will soon be reached was expected – the reason being the fairly steady rate of growth of the .ee domain registrar over the past two years – growing by 7.4% in 2020 and an even higher rate of 8.8% in 2021.
The fact that the IDN domains are also growing (80.7% respectively were extended in 2019, with 82% of IDN domains extended last year) is also gratifying. In other words, such .ee domains are increasingly being used because of their sound.
It is also rewarding to note that this beautiful and round number will be reached at the beginning of this year in particular, when 30 years will have passed since the registration of the first .ee domain in Estonia. A reference to this can also be found in the form of a corresponding sign in the photo accompanying this news story.

About 60% of Estonian companies owning a .ee domain have a web address with the company’s name
In 2021, more than 26,000 companies and nearly 27,000 new .ee domains were registered in Estonia. Comparing these two figures, it may be concluded that almost every company also registers a .ee domain in its name and everything is all right; however, this is not the case, and you will find both the results and the reasons below the picture.

How can you prevent your .ee domain from being unexpectedly deleted and auctioned?
From time to time, we receive feedback from domain owners that, to their dismay, one or another .ee domain is either about to be deleted or has already been deleted and put up for auction. At the same time, there is a clear procedure in place to prevent such cases on the sides of the registrar, the registry, and the registrant. That is what we are discussing.
