Host4Biz is an accredited .EU domain registrar
We are glad to announce that we have officially received accreditation from EURid – the registry of the .EU domain zone!
This is great news for all our clients – new opportunities for an online presence on the European market are now open to them.
What makes the .EU domain good, why it matters and how to register it – we explain right now.
What is the .EU domain?
.EU is a top-level domain intended for residents and companies of the European Union.
It was launched in 2005, and mass registrations began in 2006. It is managed by the EURid registry (under the supervision of the European Commission).
The audience of the domain is more than 500 million residents speaking more than 25 different languages.
The domain suits any project aimed at an audience in the European Union.
Who can register a .EU domain?
A .EU domain can be bought by:
- Citizens of EU countries
- Residents of the European Union (for example, citizens of Ukraine holding a Polish residence card)
- Companies and organisations registered in the EU.
The domain can be registered for a term of up to 10 years.
Why is .EU good for business?
It shows your connection to the European market The .EU domain is a marker that your business belongs to the European digital space. It shows clients and partners that you are oriented towards the EU market. This matters especially for brand localisation and recognition.
It widens your business opportunities Registering a .EU domain gives access to the audience of 27 European Union countries – new markets, greater visibility and a growing client base.
It strengthens the trust of clients from the EU European users pay more attention to where an online service comes from. The .EU domain is associated with reliability, GDPR compliance and a high level of data protection.
It makes work with the B2B segment easier Large companies and public institutions in the EU prefer partners with a .EU domain – especially in tenders, grants and partner projects.
It is governed under EU jurisdiction Unlike .COM, .NET and .ORG (managed through ICANN, registered in the USA), .EU is controlled by EURid under the supervision of the European Commission. That means legal protection and the possibility of proceedings under EU law.
Security for the domain
EURid is certified to ISO 27001 and cooperates with EU law enforcement. .EU domains are protected against phishing and fraud thanks to an early threat detection system (APEWS) and the blocking of suspicious domains.
This matters especially: clients trust you when they know their data is protected.
.EU as an additional domain for your site
If you already have a main site in a national domain zone (for example .pl, .de or .com), a .EU domain will be an excellent addition.
It works as a “second name” for the site – it can be reached too, and it leads to the same page.
What is it for?
- It widens the reach of your brand – you show that you are ready to work with the whole of Europe
- It is convenient in advertising and on business cards – short, universal, easy to remember
- It protects the brand – nobody will be able to take your domain
- It suits a redirect or a separate language version of the site.
