Are You interested in having a single-character .ee domain address, or an .ee address associated with different places and country names? Auction starts from 16th of May!
Auction starts with 5-digits domains (listed for 1 day) and places
(listed for 7 days) on 16th of May at 12PM. 3-digits domains and very
attractive single character domains will be listed to an auction during
the autumn.
Already back in 2011, all domains with the same name as the Estonian administrative units, .ee domains with the same name as the country code, .ee domains with the same abbreviations as used by businesses, and all single-letter domains were reserved.
As the aim of the EIF is to be an open and liberal registry and to ensure equal access for all those interested in the .ee domain name resource, the reservations ended at the end of April of this year, and all the domains that have been reserved so far, but which have not been taken up in the last 12 years, will be made available through an English auction.
Thereafter, many number combinations, Estonian place names, many country names and all single-character domains will be auctioned from week to week. The English auction is an open auction – you can see both the current best bid and the number of bids in real time. Proceeds from the auction will be invested in a more efficient .ee, a safer Estonian internet and used for grants.
So – keep an eye on our channels, because that’s where you’ll get instant updates on which domains are up for auction each week!
