The number of newly registered .ee domain names has rocketed during the pandemic

COVID-19 has inevitably pushed traders and consumers towards e-commerce and this is also
strongly manifested in statistics on the registration of national domain names (.ee).

The most significant increase occurred in April, at the height of the emergency situation, when the
number of .ee domain names increased by as much as 34% compared to the previous year. After
the major upsurge in April, the positive trend has continued with a monthly average growth of
nearly 13%.

According to the Council of European Top-Level Domain Registries (CENTR), the association of
European country code top-level domain name registries, the average for all Member States was
+17% in April and +22% in May and June.

By today, the number of registered .ee domains has exceeded 135,000. Current statistics on
national domain names is directly available from here - click and have a look!

When Meta goes down, your business should not disappear with it

Last Friday's Meta outage was short, but it was a useful warning for every business that depends too heavily on social platforms. On June 12, Facebook and Instagram experienced service disruptions, in addition problems with Ads Manager tools as well. For some brands, that meant reduced visibility, interrupted campaigns, delayed communication: a reminder that they do not actually control the platforms where much of their audience lives.
