.ee is the gateway to Estonia!

Every year, the Estonian Internet Foundation (EIF) gives out grants to help grow and support the local internet community. This year, the focus was on cybersecurity—helping people stay safe online and learn important tech skills. The money for these grants comes from selling .ee domain names.

The Estonian Internet Foundation (EIF) works in 3-year cycles. Every few years, the team comes together to think about what’s important right now and what will matter in the future. After that, we plan the actions to keep things moving forward. This year marks the start of a new cycle for 2025–2027.

The Estonian Internet Foundation (EIF) works hard to keep the .ee domain registry accurate and up to date. One way we do this is by checking if the Estonian companies that own .ee domains are still active. If a company has been shut down, we try to transfer the domain to someone who still uses it—or we may delete it so someone else can register it.
