About dotEU.info: Your Trusted Guide to .eu Domains
We founded dotEU.info because navigating .eu domain registration from the UK felt unnecessarily complicated, and we wanted to change that.
Our Mission: Making .eu Domain Registration Accessible
Our mission is simple: to demystify .eu domain registration for UK-based individuals and businesses. We explain EURid policies, eligibility rules, and the sunrise period in plain English, so you can register with confidence rather than confusion. EURid is the official registry for .eu domains, and its rulebook can feel daunting at first glance — our editorial team exists to translate it into practical, actionable guidance.
Why we focus on .eu domains for UK users
Since Brexit changed some .eu eligibility rules for UK entities, thousands of British readers have asked whether they can still register a .eu domain. The answer, under current rules, is yes — UK residents and businesses can still register .eu domains. We focus on this space because reliable, UK-specific advice is genuinely hard to find elsewhere.
How we track EURid rule changes and Brexit impacts
Our editorial team monitors EURid announcements, registry policy updates, and post-Brexit eligibility guidance as they happen. When something changes, we update our guides rather than leaving stale information online.
Our commitment to accurate, up-to-date registration guides
Every guide we publish is checked against current EURid documentation before it goes live, and reviewed again whenever the registry signals a policy shift.
Editorial Focus: What We Cover and Why
Our articles range from step-by-step .eu domain registration tutorials to deep dives on domain names, EURid compliance, and the sunrise period for trademark holders. We cover the topics UK readers actually search for, including:
- Registering a .eu domain through UK-friendly registrars
- EURid eligibility and verification requirements
- Sunrise period strategies for brand and trademark owners
- How EURid compares with Nominet, the UK domain registry
Registration walkthroughs for UK registrars
We walk through the full registration flow with UK-friendly registrars, screenshot by screenshot, so you know exactly what to expect before you pay.
Understanding EURid eligibility and verification
We break down who qualifies for a .eu domain, what documentation may be requested, and how verification works in practice.
Sunrise period strategies for brand owners
The sunrise period allows trademark holders priority registration before domains open to the general public. We explain how to prepare evidence and timing your application correctly.
Our Team Approach: Informed, Opinionated, Practical
We are a small team of UK-based domain investors and former registrar support staff who test every process ourselves before writing about it.
Hands-on testing with real .eu registrations
We register real .eu domains, submit real verification documents, and document what actually happens — not what the help pages claim.
Independent reviews of UK-friendly registrars
Our registrar reviews are independent. We assess pricing, support quality, and how smoothly each provider handles EURid compliance.
Reader questions that shape our content
Many of our guides start as reader questions. If something confused you, it has probably confused others, so we write it up properly.
