About .eu domains

The .eu extension is the official ccTLD of the European Union and can only be registered by companies or citizens based in the EU and a few other countries: Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein.

It was launched in 2007 and more than 3.5 million .eu names have already been registered. In addition, there are still 4,000 names whose extension consists of Cyrillic letters ( .ею- offered since 2016 ) or Greek ( .ευ- introduced in 2019 ). Most .eu domains are registered in Germany, almost 1 million names.

.eu extension fits any activity, from trade and production to tourism and education. The extension was created in order to form stronger links between the citizens of this organization.

Another purpose of the extension is to represent the websites of the institutions of the European Union. europa.eu is the official website and all sites of the EU institutions are subdomains of it. Examples: consilium.europa.eu - Council of Europe, ec.europa.eu - European Commission, europarl.europa.eu - European Parliament. This is also a good way to check whether or not the sites accessed are the official ones.

Other .eu sites: politico.eu, neurope.eu, ccc.eu, study.eu, interrail.eu.
