Unregistered EE domains will be deleted.

Marek-Andres Kauts, Chairman of the Foundation's Board, announced that after the removal of unregistered domains from the .EE zone, access to websites and email accounts associated with these domains will be terminated.

The Foundation plans to store deleted domains and associated data for another two months, giving owners of these domains time to reactivate their inactive domains. To do so, they must contact the registry administrator and submit a petition.

According to Kauts, domains whose owners have not applied for re-registration within the last seven months will be removed from the .EE zone. This does not apply to the nearly 50,000 domains that have already been re-registered or registered under the new rules.

All information stored on websites and email accounts will not be deleted and will remain on the domain owners' servers. Removing a domain from a zone means that links to the name server supporting the domain will be suspended. This means that websites accessed through this domain will be unavailable.

If the owners of domains that were removed from the zone do not re-register them by April 6, the names will be listed as vacant and anyone will be able to register and use them.

If a domain becomes inactive and the owner wishes to re-register it, they will need to check their domain through the www.internet.ee website, select a registry administrator, and then submit a request to renew the domain registration through them.
