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.

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.
