.ec Domain Registrations

The .ec domain extension is the official country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Ecuador, managed by NIC.EC in partnership with the Internet Society's Ecuador chapter. In operation since 1991, .ec is the trusted national domain for Ecuadorian businesses, government agencies, educational institutions, and individuals. Ecuador is a growing digital economy with a young, connected population — a .ec domain gives businesses credibility with local consumers and signals genuine commitment to the Ecuadorian market. The .ec domain is open to all registrants worldwide with no restrictions, making it accessible to international businesses entering the Andean region, Latin American brands, and anyone seeking a distinctive two-letter domain. Ecuador is also well known as the country that straddles the equator — lending the .ec extension a geographic resonance that extends well beyond its national borders.
