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 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.

In 2019, the Estonian Internet Foundation introduced a true innovation to the domain sector – the .ee expiring domain auction. This system makes previously registered but unrenewed .ee domains available again, giving valuable names a second chance and offering new entrepreneurs an opportunity to secure standout domain names.
