.com.ee Domain: Estonia's Extension for Companies
.com.ee is one of the general domains under .ee, the country code extension of Estonia. The zone is run by Eesti Interneti Sihtasutus (EIS), the Estonian Internet Foundation; .ee itself was entered into the root zone on 3 June 1992. EIS uses general domains to group the addresses of registrants of a similar kind, and com.ee is the one set aside for commercial companies. Registration goes through registrars accredited by EIS.
The eligibility rule is clear: the right to register under com.ee belongs to companies within the meaning of the Estonian Commercial Code. The applicant submits documentation showing they fall into that category, and the registry verifies it before approving the record. For comparison, pri.ee is the zone for private individuals, fie.ee for sole traders and med.ee for medical institutions, while .ee itself draws no distinction. If you want the address to state that you are a company, com.ee says it by category.
Identity verification matters as much as the category document: a record is not completed until the registrant's identity and intent have been confirmed. Accepted routes are an electronic signature with an Estonian ID card or Mobile-ID, a foreign state ID card accepted by EIS, a handwritten signature at the registrar's office, or a bank transfer from the registrant's own account. Preparing the company document and the verification route together closes the process in one round. Check your preferred name with domain search.

.com.ee Domain Lifecycle
What happens day by day after it expires
Day 0 is the domain's expiry dateIn short: for .com.ee the post-expiry timeline is set by the registry, so it differs from one extension to the next. The diagram below shows the windows that actually apply to .com.ee, day by day. One thing never changes, whichever extension you hold: renewing before the expiry date is always the cheapest and safest route.
Domain Is Available (Available)
A .com.ee address at this stage has not been taken yet, and it goes to whoever registers first. Check the name you have in mind — if it is free, it can be yours within minutes.
Domain Is Active (Active Period)
Once registration is complete, the domain is registered to you for the term you selected. You can renew at any point before it expires to keep it active, or switch on auto-renewal so you never have to watch the date.
Redemption Period (Redemption Period)
The domain is not released the moment it expires — during this window it is still yours and can be recovered. Some extensions charge an extra restore fee at this stage, so renewing before expiry is always the cheaper route.
Pending Delete Period (Pending Delete Period)
If the redemption window is missed too, the domain enters the final stage and waits to be deleted. Renewal and recovery are no longer possible here; when the period ends the registration is removed for good.
Domain Is Available Again
Once deletion completes, the domain leaves the system and anyone can register it — popular names are often taken the same minute by someone watching. Keep auto-renewal on so a name you care about never gets this far.

Frequently Asked Questions About .com.ee Domains
The questions people actually ask before registering — answered plainly.
-
Under the general domain rules, the right to register in com.ee belongs to companies within the meaning of the Estonian Commercial Code. The applicant submits documentation showing they fall into that category, and the registry verifies it before approving the record. Private individuals are directed to pri.ee, sole traders to fie.ee and medical institutions to med.ee. An application outside the category stops at verification and the name is not held for you.
-
You need company documentation showing that you meet the category criteria, and the registry verifies it before approving the record. The registered company name on the document and the registrant name you enter when ordering must be an exact match; even a small difference in spelling leaves the application waiting in verification. Identity verification is a separate step: the document alone is not enough, the registrant's identity is confirmed too.
-
.ee is the short address taken directly, it does not look at the type of applicant and asks for no category document. .com.ee is one of the general domains run by EIS and is open only to companies under the Commercial Code. In practice: choose .ee for a short, unrestricted name, and .com.ee when the structure of the address should signal commercial standing. Many companies hold both and redirect one to the other.
-
A registration is not completed until the registrant's identity and intent have been confirmed. The accepted routes are:
- An electronic signature using an Estonian ID card (ID-kaart) or Mobile-ID
- A foreign state identity document accepted by EIS
- A handwritten signature at the registrar's office
- A bank transfer made from the registrant's own account
Preparing the company document and the verification route together shortens the process.
-
com.ee names can be moved between registrars. For a change of holder the rules require both a signed application from the party taking the name over and signed consent from the party giving it up. Eligibility survives the move: the new holder must also be a company under the Commercial Code. The remaining term is preserved, and your site and email keep working as long as you do not change name servers. Start on the domain transfer page.
-
You can see whether a com.ee name is registered, and the general state of the record, through its WHOIS entry. Because of data protection obligations, contact details are published only in limited form, so a lookup will usually show the status of the name and its registration dates. Run the lookup on the whois search page, and check whether a name is still free with domain search.
