Why .eu?

Why should you consider a .eu domain name?

In the following year, the annual registration rate surpassed 8%. Since then, .es has remained popular with the number of registrations stablizing over time. Today, .eu is one of the most popular domain endings and attracts both businesses and private individuals.

An opportunity to show your link to Europe with a .eu domain name

The .eu domain ending has a built-in international dimension in that it represents all the countries of the European Union, and its name allows you to easily identify your platform with the EU. Covering 27 countries and a market of more than 500 million internet users, .eu allows those who adopt it to show their European character and develop their business across national boundaries.
