History of the ME domain - what country the domain is in, appearance on the Internet, date of open registration.
In 2007, following the final dissolution of Yugoslavia and the separation of the Republic of Montenegro from Serbia, the former Yugoslav geographical domain YU was declared obsolete. Montenegro was allocated its own national domain -ME.
The domain registration was opened on July 17, 2008. On that very day, the number of registered names related to this zone exceeded 20 thousand. Currently, search engines for .me return approximately 166 million results. And, judging by forecasts, the popularity of this domain will only increase over the next few years.
Characteristics of the domain zone - why are many people rushing to buy an ME domain?
The domain name comes from the English word Montenegro, meaning Montenegro. The name itself is also translated from English as the pronoun “I”, “me”, “me”. This made it possible to turn website names into meaningful phrases, like follow.me (follow me), etc. The well-known animated film “Despicable Me”, in English - Despicable Me, also added to the popularity of the domain.
This feature is the main reason for the popularity of the zone - it is used not only for services, but also for personal websites and pages.
What requirements must be met to register a site name in the ME zone?
Rules and features of registering ME domains:
- Allowed domain name length: from 3 to 63 characters.
- Allowed characters: in the name it is allowed to use all Latin letters, both upper and lower case, and all Arabic numerals in various combinations. Dashes can also be used, but not everywhere. It is not allowed to use this character at the beginning or end of the name. The third and fourth positions cannot be occupied by dashes either. The ME domain zone name cannot contain a space.
- Domain renewal procedure: after a domain name expires, it is possible to renew the domain on preferential terms within 40 days. After this, you can buy the domain within 30 days, but this requires paying an additional fee.
- Registration deadlines: ME domain registration is allowed to citizens of any country. The registration period is from one year to 10 years.
- Removal from delegation and deletion: The removal of a domain from delegation occurs on the next date after the date specified in the Expire Date, and it is deleted 5 days after the Grace period has expired.
Who is the ME domain zone suitable for? It is inexpensive and memorable to visitors.
Considering that the English word me, present in the name of the site, gives the information contained therein a confidential character, it seems most appropriate to use it in personal blogs, social networks, diaries, home pages, etc. Why ME domains are most often registered:
- Personal sites and blogs.
- Social media.
- Local business.
- Services.
It is possible that the domain will also be useful for commercial organizations and individual entrepreneurs providing various services to Internet users. This is due to the possibility of a psychological effect in which the client’s trust increases significantly. Since Me is the national domain of Montenegro, it seems promising to use it on sites related to recreation and tourism in this country.
Pros and cons of the ME domain zone.
Advantages:
- Meaningfulness: The advantages of a domain name include, first of all, the ability to use it to create various meaningful phrases in site names, used to increase its attractiveness among various target groups of users.
- A country: in addition, if geographic reference specifically to Montenegro or the Balkan Peninsula is required, choosing the ME domain zone seems to be the best.
Main disadvantages:
- Georeferencing: The shortcomings of a domain appear primarily in a situation where the geographical connection to Montenegro interferes with its owner. This happens because in a number of cases, having remembered the name of the site, they will enter it in international zones like COM or NET.
- Price: There are cheaper domain names.

Considering the difficulties arising from the geographical location of a domain zone, it is recommended that when registering you contact reliable and trusted companies. As a rule, these are licensed companies that have been operating for more than three years and have numerous positive reviews. No matter how attractive the price is for a little-known company, think twice whether you are ready to lose your domain because of 50-200 rubles in savings.
