About the .ET domain
What is the .ET domain?
Registration is limited to entities with a genuine connection to the country: individuals, institutions, or Ethiopian organizations, or foreign entities able to prove significant presence or interest in Ethiopia. For second-level subdomains like .com.et, the holder must have an administrative contact in the country itself. The .edu.et, .gov.et, and .mil.et extensions are reserved exclusively for specific organizations or companies operating within Ethiopia, with no access for the general public. The registration period ranges from 1 to 10 years, and the available extensions in the country include .et, .com.et, .net.et, and .org.et.
Only Ethiopian individuals, institutions, or organizations can register a .et domain, or foreign entities with significant presence or interest in Ethiopia.
