Is your domain name working hard enough?

Currently, whether you have registered a .com or a .co.uk domain there are no restrictions if you would like to register both versions of your domain name - and many people do!.

Of course, the choice is all a matter of your preference - .com is often regarded as "International" where the .co.uk domain is deemed to be "UK only", usually it depends on the target market.

Whilst, the .com domain is recognised world wide, it is easier to remember and to type, and there is a whole world full of people who could register it before you do!

If your target is primarily the UK market then registering just the .co.uk domain would seem to be the obvious choice. The .co.uk instantly identifies you as a UK company and often, given a list of URLs in a search engine, people will choose a domain / URL with their country code. Therefore, it follows that if you want to extend your target market then registering your domain with other country-code top-level domains (ccTLD) will expand your target audience.

Registering both .com and .co.uk (and others such as .at, .dk, .es, .eu, .ie, .it, .nz, .se etc) domain names in fact makes very good sense - it stops anyone else from registering your name and leaves it ready for you to use either right away or in the future.

Background

.ee is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) of Estonia and it is operated by EENet.

The ccTLD for Estonia, an abbreviation for Internet Country Code Top-Level Domain, is .ee. It is managed by EENet who are a governmental non-profit organisation, established in August 1993 and administered by the Estonian Ministry of Education and Research. Their role is the manage and develop the computer network of education, science and culture. They also take responsibility of providing a permanent Internet connection, whilst allowing web hosting, e-mail, ftp, DNS and consultations during security problems.

A domain name in Estonia can be registered directly beneath .ee, .com.ee (Company) and .org.ee (Organisation). Only institutions within Estonia can be registered under these domain names. This means it is not for International use as it is not sufficient to simple have a local presence within Estonia. Each organisation can only qualify for one domain name, no more.

The maximum length allowed for a .ee domain name is 63 characters but this is not recommended for practical reasons. Only one domain name is allowed per legal entity. Trademark domain names cannot be reserved for a company. In Estonia, Domain names cannot be seen to have domain name status. If your registration is valid, it is free of charge.

If you wish to change the ownership of a domain name, transfer is possible. This can be done through asking the current holder to send EENet an official letter. It must be signed by a member of the board of the institution. This confirms the renouncement of the domain name. Once done, a new registrant can send an application according to the Regulations on Registrations of Domain names under .ee.

The hostmaster of a domain name can pay yearly so they can keep ownership. The Domain names are registered for an unknown amount of time, it all depends on whether it is paid for. Before a Domain name is expired, the owner will be informed from 14 days previous and is given this time to reply. Registration can be cancelled if it is impossible to get hold of the administrative contact person.
