Explore new markets and give your website a touch of European flair with a .eu domain. With more businesses expanding across borders and aiming for that all-important international audience, a short and memorable .eu domain is a great way to show your European ties.

What is the .eu domain?

Perfect for anyone living within the EU or looking to reach the continent, the .eu domain lets you connect with all EU member states, plus other countries within the wider European Economic Area. Whether you’re registering your trademark, creating a site for your group, building a blog, or showcasing your many European locations, you can do it all with the .eu domain.

Introduced by the European Commission, .eu is the official domain extension for the European Union – making it clear that your products and services are designed for this market. With over 740 million people across Europe, a .eu domain gives you access to a diverse audience spanning dozens of nations – from Finland to Malta, Cyprus to Portugal, and everywhere in between.

Why register .eu domain names?

Registering a .eu domain gives your brand a trusted web address in the European Union:

  1. Short and memorable

    Clean, simple and easy to recall. Ideal for a brand that wants to travel well.

  2. European identity

    Let visitors know you’re based in the EU or doing business there – it’s a domain that speaks their language.

  3. Trusted across borders

    The .eu ending helps build confidence, showing you follow EU rules and standards.

  4. Reach more EU customers

    Open your site up to millions of potential customers across the EU and EEA.

  5. Protect your brand in Europe

    Secure your name before someone else does – and keep your brand consistent across markets.

Who can buy a .eu?

If you are based in one of the European Union Member States, Iceland, Liechtenstein, or Norway, you can purchase a .eu – whether you’re a business, an organisation, or an individual.

And because only people in the European Community can buy .eu domains, your visitors will know that you aren’t just within the same area, they’ll know you follow EU law and the relevant trading standards, giving them the reassurance and security they need.

If you're in the UK, you’ll now need a valid address in one of these countries to register or renew a .eu domain.

To register a .eu domain name, you must meet one of the following criteria:

    ✓ Be a company, organisation or other legal entity with a registered office, central administration or main place of business in an EU Member State, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway

    ✓ Be an organisation established in the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway in accordance with local laws

    ✓ Be a natural person living in an eligible country. You’ll need an EU/EEA postal address, and domains on the blocked or reserved list can’t be registered.

This excludes domains on the blocked or reserved list.
