Fair play to the Germans

Posted on April 10, 2006 in Domain Names

As of this morning there have been over 1.3 million .eu domains registered - and fair play to the Germans, they’ve managed to register half of them alone!

Registering my own name went though in a few hours but three discretionary names I’ve attempted to register (and have paid for) are still pending since Friday. The mind wonders…

Update 1 : For your information, as of time of posting, Irish users have registered a total of 17,283 .eu domain names. (Via Eurid)

Update 2 : Kenmc.eu is now live… (and pointing right back here)

    they’ll take a while alright. you should check out the Eurid website from the link in the post, you’ll find all the stats and info on .eu domains that you need.

    A lot seems to depend on the registrar you chose…
    I’ve got micheleneylon.eu and mneylon.eu apart from the company ones that I grabbed :)
