Domain price reduced by 20% in 2014.
The Supervisory Board of the Estonian Internet Foundation has decided to reduce the price of a .ee domain by 20%, i.e. to €12.
The price of registering a .ee domain in 2014 will be €12, €23 or €33 depending on the length of the registration period. .ee domains can be registered for one, two or three years.
The change will become effective on January 1, 2014.
71,070 .ee domains are currently registered.
The domain price is the fee charged by the Estonian Internet Foundation from registrars, i.e. companies providing the domain registration service. The prices for end-users or registrants will be determined in competition on the free market. VAT will be added to the fees.

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.
