.eu Domain name registration

Any organisation active within the European Union should consider registering a .eu domain name.

European Union

.eu is the official top level domain for the European Union. The process of registering .eu domain names has started, and there will be a gold rush for registration.

The application process is being organised in three stages to give some priority to eligible organisations.

Sunrise 2

From 7 February 2006, pre-registration for names that consist of:

Landrush

From 7 April 2006, the registration process will be open to everyone.

Management and registration

European Union domain name registration is managed by EURid, the official manager for .eu top-level domain names. Full details are available from the EURid website. (opens in a new window). They don’t take registrations directly, and applications should be made through an accredited .eu name registrar.

Some of the registrars are charging large fees for pre-registration, so it's worth shopping around to find a reliable organisation with reasonable fees. If you need help on .eu domain names, contact me.
