.et registration
.et is Ethiopia’s country-code domain extension, suited to businesses, organizations, services, and personal projects connected with the country. Registration follows a first-come, first-served model, with no special application procedure. A requested name must contain between 2 and 63 characters, so both compact brands and longer descriptive names can fit. For a local business, public-facing initiative, cultural project, or service aimed at Ethiopian users, .et creates a direct geographic signal. It can also help distinguish an Ethiopia-focused site from a broader international presence. Before ordering, check the spelling carefully and choose a name that remains clear when used in email addresses. Transfers to host.yt require holder authentication. A validation email is sent to the domain holder, who must approve the change within five days; otherwise, the request is cancelled. A completed transfer does not change the domain’s expiration date. Keep the holder’s contact details accessible before starting so the approval message can be received and acted on promptly. Changing the domain holder is handled separately from a registrar transfer. The current holder must sign an update request form, sent by email after the order is validated. Because this step is reviewed manually, completion may take several days. The domain’s expiration date remains unchanged during the holder change.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .et extension stand for?
et is the country-code top-level domain associated with Ethiopia. It gives a website a clear geographic identity and is particularly relevant to Ethiopian businesses, organizations, services, communities, and projects that want their connection with the country to be visible in the domain name.
Who can register a .et domain?
et registration is open to individuals, businesses, and organizations on a first-come, first-served basis. The requested label must be available and contain between 2 and 63 characters. Availability should therefore be checked before choosing the name for a website or email service.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .et?
Standard .et registration does not involve a special application procedure or supporting documents. Names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and must meet the 2-to-63-character label length rule. A signed form is required when changing the domain holder, not for an ordinary registration.
Is .et a good choice, and what projects suit it?
et is a practical choice for websites with a clear connection to Ethiopia. It suits local companies, public initiatives, cultural organizations, community services, and personal projects serving Ethiopian audiences. Its geographic meaning is useful when a project wants to emphasize local relevance rather than a broad international identity.
When does .et make more sense than .com?
Choose .et when an Ethiopian identity or audience is central to the project; the address immediately communicates that geographic focus. Choose .com when the brand is primarily international and geographic positioning would be limiting. Some organizations use .et locally while keeping .com for their broader corporate presence.
How quickly is a .et domain registered, and how long does it last?
et names are assigned first come, first served, and registration takes effect after the order is successfully processed. Validity follows the expiration date recorded for the domain, which should be used as the renewal reference. Transferring the domain does not extend or shorten its existing registration.
How do I transfer a .et domain to host.yt?
A transfer to host.yt begins with holder authentication. A validation email is sent to the domain holder, who must approve the request within five days. If approval is not provided in time, the request is cancelled. The transfer itself does not alter the domain’s existing expiration date.
