.EU eve
Thursday, April 6th, 2006
It’s kind of like New Years’ Eve – open registration for .eu domain names begins tomorrow.
If you have a mailing address in the EU, that is. People without addresses in the European Union are not allowed to register .eu domains.
Dotster is offering a $14.95 special on .eu domains if you use coupon code ’1495EU’.
The domain name community is watching the .eu launch — one of the biggest domain launches in history — with great curiousity. The trademark sunrise period is almost over and over 25,000 .eu domain names are active. Here are the domain’s stats of now:
Applications under Sunrise 344,810
Domain names applied for 245,471
Total number of initial applications 182,043
Total number of accepted applications 54,535
