First-come, first-served

Domain names are available on a first-come, first-served basis. The domain name might not be available because:

  • The domain has already been registered by someone else.
  • The European institutions, EU Member States, EU Candidate or Members of the EEA have blocked or reserved the domain name.
 
Tips for choosing your domain

Your domain name should be pronounceable and memorable, limit the length to two or three words.

If the domain name you want has been reserved, you can apply for its release by submitting an application. You can also use the same domain name with hyphens, or shorten it to an acronym.

Get your domain name in any official EU language (Internationalised domain names).

Visibility

If you want your products and services to be considered when consumers make their purchase decisions, having an effective online presence is crucial. With a website that signals internationality and speaks to potential customers around the globe, you broaden your market exponentially.

Trustworthiness

A website with a .eu or .ею domain name extension tells your customers that you are a legal entity based in the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway and are therefore, subject to EU law and other relevant trading standards.

We help protect you and your customers online

We provide a DNSSEC protocol which is a security measure that reduces the chance your customers will be led to phishing or other ill-intentioned websites. Our Registry Lock Service can be used to protect your domain names against potential unintended changes such as deletions or transfers.

We support multiple languages

Your domain name can contain characters from any official EU language script. We also provide assistance in all the official EU languages. Click here to read more about IDNs.
