.et domain extension

The .et domain extension is the country-code top-level domain for Ethiopia. It is managed by Ethio Telecom, the state-owned telecommunications provider operating from Addis Ababa. The registry is intended for entities connected to Ethiopia, though specific eligibility restrictions are not strictly defined in the public IANA record. Ethio Telecom handles registration directly, and applicants typically need a local presence or representative. The domain was officially delegated on October 15, 1995, giving it a long history as the country's digital identifier. Despite its age, .et remains less common internationally compared to other ccTLDs because registration has historically been a manual process through Ethio Telecom. The name servers are hosted within Ethiopia, supporting local infrastructure.
