Most popular words used in new .ee domains in 2020
Registered domains reflect changes and trends in our society and as our national domain (.ee) is overwhelmingly most popular in Estonia, we think it could be kind of digital source to look at; especially in connection with this pandemic year of 2020.
From
now on we put together so called Estonian "domain-map", showing the result of
a word cloud, based on approximately 23 000 new .ee registrations made
from January until December 2020. As domains are unique, we unified the
names and separated compound words.
It turned out that most popular words in .ee domains registered in 2020
are car, estonia, 24, rent, home, est, building, shop, and tech. But
pandemic has direct influence also to the popular domains as the
following top results are also there: mask, school, food, courier,
med and health.
