.ee domain price lowered from January 1
The Estonian Internet Foundation will lower the price of a .ee domain by 20% from 1 January 2014, i.e. down to €12.
.ee domains can be registered for one, two or three years. The domain fee is €12, €23 or €33 in 2014, depending on the length of the registration period.
These are the domain registration prices that the Estonian Internet Foundation will charge from registrars. The price for the registrant is determined by the registrars. VAT will be added to the fee.
From the beginning of January, protection with the DNSSEC security extension will be available for .ee domains. DNSSEC protects Internet users and domain owners, offering them a guarantee that the user has not been unknowingly redirected from the requested homepage to another page. The Estonian Internet Foundation will not apply additional charges to this service. More information about DNSSEC can be found on the Foundation's homepage at www.internet.ee.

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.
