What are .EU Domains

.EU is the new European Top Level Domain Name for Europe. It works just like all the other popular extensions, such as .co.uk, .com, .net and so on. This makes it an ideal alternative and unique identifier for websites and email addresses. You can expect a growing number of websites designated with an .eu extension.

.EU domains are available for registration by individuals and businesses who live, operate, or who have an interest within the countries of the European Union. EC Regulation 733/2002 regulates who is allowed to register for an .eu domain name. Companies, organisations , individuals who have their registered office, central administration or principal place of business within the European Community are enititled to register an .eu domain name.

Who operates .EU?

EURid was the consortium chosen to run the .eu TLD, by the European Community. This a not for profit organisation which also runs the Belgian, Italian and Swedish registries. EURid works exclusively through a network of registrars who will register .eu domain names on behalf of their customers, with minimal intervention from EURid.

If you cannot obtain the .EU domain you wanted

If a .EU domain name shows as not available on our website it does not necessarily mean it has been registered. If this occurs heck the status of the .EU domain name at the official EURid whois at www.whois.eu. Certain .eu names are been held back by Eurid, and domains applied for during the “Sunrise Period.” Some domains may become available for general registration, after certain applications during the initial Landrush period have expired or been rejected.

Despite the popularity of .EU domains, there is still plenty of choice for good generic names. Registered domains can sometimes be purchased from the existing owner. In these cases we can recommend domain name brokers who can negotiate anonymously to purchase the domain on your behalf.

.EU Domain Disputes

If you have a right to a .EU domain name but it has been registered by someone else, EURid operates a procedure for resolving disputes about .EU domain names which is operated by the Prague-based Arbitration Court in the Czech Republic. This administers Proceedings in accordance with the Public Policy Rules for .EU as directed by European Commission (EC Regulation 874/2004).
