What
is .eu?
.eu is a new Top Level Domain that is
available to any individual that is an
European Union resident or any organization
or company established in the EU. It does
not replace the existing national ccTLDs
in the EU, but complements them, giving
EU residents the option of having a pan-European
Internet identity for their online presence.
This new TLD is particularly useful for
organizations and companies operating
at a European level, which have taken
advantage of the EU Single Market.
Why
should I register a .eu domain?

exposure that is recognizable in all 25
EU member countries.
