On July 5th 2010, the .ee domain name will be liberalised. Up until now, the rules to register a .ee domain name are very strict. Only local companies can register a .ee domain name. As from July 5th those restrictions will be lifted. So from then on, everyone who wishes to do so can register a domain name under the .ee extension. Like that, everyone gets the chance to protect his/her trademark or domain name under this extension. bNamed now accepts pre-registrations for the release of this extension.
