Pre-registration of .eu domain name

The registration procedure will use the most common method for the registration of a domain name.
In fact, EURid which will be the Registry in charge of the .eu-extension will appoint a network of authorized agents who will be able to register the domain names. It will not be possible, as a user, to register a domain name directly with EURid

The conditions to become a .eu agent have not been communicated to us yet. We can be sure, however, that not everyone will fulfill the requirements. This will probably lead to the emerging of a network of unauthorized agents, as this is the case for the .com at the moment.

As the requirements to become an agent are still unknown, this network has not been established yet. In other terms, not a single person is authorized to offer you a .eu domain name or give you any guaranties whatsoever concerning the result.

It is possible however to pre-register a domain name for free.
If no one can guarantee you the results then why bother pre-registering?
  • In most cases the pre-registration is offered to you without costs.
  • Thanks to the pre-registration, you will show your interest for the .eu, starting today.
  • You will be kept informed of the status of the opening of the .eu.
  • You will enable your agent to prepare the necessary paperwork for the registration and maximize your odds of being the first to register your .eu domain name.
  • Concerning domain names for which the demand is high, you will dispose of a primacy in case an agent receives multiple demands.

My advice to you: pre-register your domain name today !
