When you’re registering a domain with a company like GoDaddy.com, you can choose between a seemingly ever-growing list of extensions — such as .com, .net., .org, .info, .me, as well as a very long list of geo-specific country-code top-level domains.
Most such extensions are available only to individuals and companies with some affiliation with the country or region the extension represents. This is also the case with the .eu top-level domain, which, as you can imagine, represent the European Union. .eu domains are, of course, available from Go Daddy, but let’s take a closer look at the requirements for registering a domain with that extension.
Registration of .eu domain names is limited to individuals or companies from countries in the European Union. But if you meet that requirement, registering a .eu domain name gives you regional recognition and an easy-to-manage Web presence. As such it is of particular interest to companies that conduct business in the European Union and individuals who want to reach the growing number of Internet users there.
Besides the geographic requirement, .eu domains come with the following restrictions: Domain names can be up to 63 characters, with a minimum of three characters, and can contain letters (a to z), numbers (0 to 9), and hyphens (except at the beginning or end of the domain name). You cannot register domain names with special characters such as & and #.
The minimum registration length for .eu domain names is one year, and the maximum registration length is 10 years.
So how do you actually register your .eu domain with Go Daddy?
Well, it’s just as easy as registering any other domain with them:
Go to the Go Daddy home page and enter the domain name you want in the search field. Select .eu from the list of extensions.Click Go, and then proceed through the screens to complete the purchase. Remember that the contact information for the registrant must be an address within the EU.
