See the map: these were the most used words in the .ee domains registered in 2021

In 2021, 27,396 new .ee domains were registered, and just like last year, we are now looking at which words or terms are most popular in our national domain.

See the map: these were the most used words in the .ee domains registered in 2021

In 2021, 27,396 new .ee domains were registered, and just like last year, we are now looking at which words or terms are most popular in our national domain.

Because the domains are unique in nature, we harmonized the inflections and separated the compound words for analysis. While some words related to Covid stood out in the 2020 results, in 2021, such terms no longer made it into the top ten.

As in the previous year, the most popular words in .ee domains are 24, car, rent, and Estonia. They are followed by home, construction, shop, tr, Estonia, center, tech, and store. The map better describes the situation and also contains the terms invest, sports, brand, art, etc.

It can be said with a great simplification that we like cars, home and we like to build. It would be good if all this is illustrated by permanent availability (24) and the fact that many things can be rented instead of owned. The analysis is based on 27,396 .ee domains registered in 2021. And by the way, if you notice a striking and good-sounding new .ee domain (registered later than 14.03.21), submit it to the competition, where the most beautiful .ee domain is sought!

Starting September 1, 2025, the cost to file a dispute with the Domain Disputes Committee will be lower, especially for private individuals and non-profit groups. The fees will also depend on who is filing the challenge.

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.
