In 2011, the Estonian Internet Foundation (EIF) reserved a treasure trove of .ee domains, including single letters, numbers, and names of Estonian administrative units and foreign countries. These exclusive domains were reserved for organisations and individuals with a legitimate interest. However, as time has passed, some of these unique web addresses have remained unclaimed, and the EIF has decided to open the doors for the world to bid on these coveted .ee domains.
The Auction Process
The reserved .ee domains are auctioned in limited weekly batches to ensure a fair and transparent process. If you’re interested in acquiring one of these exceptional domains, you’ll have ample time to place bids. The auction employs an open-bid English format, meaning all bids are visible in real time to participants. This approach guarantees that the domains go to the highest bidders, allowing everyone a fair chance to secure their desired web address.
Heiki Sibul, a member of the management board of the Foundation, highlights the significance of this move: “This is a historic event for the Estonian Internet, as single-character and toponymic .ee domains will be available to everyone for the first time. We are an open and liberal registry, and we are fulfilling this goal by releasing previously reserved domains.”
Whether you’re passionate about a specific place name or seeking a memorable number and letter combination with the .ee domain, this is your opportunity to own a piece of internet history.
Auction Proceeds for a Safer Internet
The proceeds from auctioning these reserved domains will be reinvested into developing a more efficient .ee domain space and initiatives to enhance the safety of the Estonian Internet. This means that participants in the auction will gain a valuable web asset and contribute to making the internet better and more secure for all users in Estonia.
