About the .EE domain

What is the .EE domain?

.ee is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) of Estonia, registered with IANA on June 3, 1992. Registry management currently falls to Eesti Interneti Sihtasutus (EIS, the Estonian Internet Foundation), following a formal redelegation that moved administration from the University of Tartu to EIS, documented on May 12, 2013.

Second-level .ee domain registration is open to any natural person or legal entity in the world, with no residency requirement or need for a company established in Estonia, thanks to a regulatory reform in effect since 2010 that removed the former rule limiting registrants to "one domain per entity." Applications are submitted through EIS-accredited registrars, providing details for an administrative contact (the legal representative), a technical contact, and nameservers, with electronic signature via Estonian ID-card, Mobile-ID, or payment order.
