Data reveals: the registration of new .ee domains continues to grow at a significant pace in 2021

While the growth in new .ee domain registrations clearly jumped higher than before due to Covid 19, then this year’s results are even more obvious and total growth in registry size is 8.8%. It can therefore be concluded that, regardless of various foreign online platforms, a personal website is still considered to be one of the most important e-channels.
Data reveals: the registration of new .ee domains continues to grow at a significant pace in 2021
The largest increase in 2021 was in March, when 35.8% more .ee domains were registered than in March of the previous year. 2020 was somewhat similar – with the biggest jump taking place in the spring, in April, when the growth rate was 34.3%.

In terms of the three quarters, the month with the lowest activity was July, when 12% fewer domains were registered than the year before. Today, the total number of .ee domains in the registry is now more than 145,000.

How Estonia Tamed Domain Dropcatchers: The Story of Domain Auctions

In 2016, the .ee national domain faced a long-standing problem: the unfair technical advantage of so-called domain catchers. The solution? Implement a transparent auction system that would create a level playing field for all interested parties. It wasn’t inspired by anything else but was a purely internal initiative – with the goal of fairness, not profit. The .cz registry did an interview with our Head of Development, Timo Võhmar, and discussed our domain auction system and experiences.
