European net domain opens to all

European net domain opens to all

Quote:

Citizens of the European Union can now buy an internet domain bearing the .eu suffix.

The public are getting the chance to buy .eu domains following a four-month period that let firms reserve domains to match their trademarks.

More than 300,000 organisations used the so-called sunrise period to apply for a .eu domain.

Interest in .eu is expected to be high as speculators snap up the most popular domain names.

“Nobody knows exactly how many registrations of new domain names to expect,” said Marc van Wesemael, head of .eu administrator Eurid, in a statement. “But the interest so far has been significant.”

Some are expecting the .eu domains to be very popular and said they had been getting lots of enquiries from members of the public.

I personally think .eu's will be better than .net's , there are already ~ 1 million .eu's registered, so it will be the next big thing.

RE: European net domain opens to all

Razvan you may be right. It can take on .net and .infos but is there a chance that it can take over .COM TLD?

Please let me know your ideas.

I don't think it will take over dot com, esecially that only europeans can register .eu's. With over ~1,150,000 .eu's already gone, we know it's going to be BIG.

Also, there already ~25,000 .eu's for sale at sedo ( last time I checked there were only 200 ) ..
