Price for .ee Domain Lowered to 6 Euros

Starting from January 1, 2017, the price of registering an .ee domain will be 6, 12 or 18 Euros, depending on the length of the selected registration period. According to the new rules, street addresses are no longer collected and domains can now also be inherited.
As a result of the new Domain Rules that entered into force with the new year, the Foundation will no longer ask for a street address when registering an .ee domain. Another new feature of the renewed Rules is that .ee domains can now also be inherited.
 
Starting from January 1st, domains can be registered without adding a name server. Name servers make domains available on the Internet and thus this is an important change for those who do not want to make their domain publicly available immediately.
 
In addition to the price decrease, .ee domains can also be registered for 3, 6 or 9 months starting from May 1, 2017, for 1.6, 3.2 or 4.8 euros respectively, or for up to 10 years for 6 euros per year.

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.
