.et Registration

The .et extension, introduced in 1991, is the domain name allotted to Ethiopia. The country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Ethiopia is .et. The sponsoring organization or registry is the Ethiopian Telecommunications Corporation (ETC). Therefore, ETC is authorized to sell .et domain names to different institutions, companies and individuals. However, the actual use of .et registration names is limited in Ethiopia. Some of the domain names available for sale are .com.et for commercial companies, .gov.et for governmental organizations, .edu.et for educational institutions, .net.et for network related companies, .biz.et for businesses, non-profit organizations and NGO's, .name.et for individuals and .name.et for all uses.

The .et domain name is the part of Internet address allowed for entities connected with Ethiopia. It gives them a unique identity on the Internet. It acts as a system of easy-to-remember Internet address which can be translated by the Domain Name System or DNS into the numeric addresses or IP numbers used by the network. Registrations for .et are made at the third level established sub domains.

To register an et domain, contact the nearest Ethiopian Telecommunications Corp. Marketing Office; the URL for registration services is http://www.telecom.net.et.
