What is the .eu domain?
.eu is the country-code top-level domain of the European Union, operated by EURid vzw, a non-profit registry in Diegem, Belgium. IANA delegated it in August 2005; trademark holders got a sunrise phase that December and general registration opened on 7 April 2006. It now holds roughly 3.7 million names, and the official EU portal europa.eu sits on it.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type | Country-code TLD, restricted to EU/EEA-linked holders |
| Registry | EURid vzw, Telecomlaan 9, Diegem, Belgium |
| Delegation report | 5 August 2005 |
| DNSSEC | Signed; DS record in the root |
| WHOIS | whois.eu (web lookup, limited data under GDPR) |
| Scripts | Latin, Greek and Cyrillic characters for EU official languages |
Who is allowed to hold a .eu domain?
Only an EU citizen (wherever they live), a resident of an EU or EEA country, or an undertaking or organisation established in one. The EEA here means the 27 member states plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. An Indian company or individual with none of these links does not qualify, and WebJi® confirms eligibility with you before placing the order.
- Qualifies: an Indian group’s GmbH, BV or SAS subsidiary registered in the EU, as the registrant itself.
- Qualifies: an Indian national living in Germany or Ireland on a residence permit.
- Qualifies: a person of Indian origin holding an EU passport, even while living in India.
- Does not qualify: an Indian parent company using its own name and Mumbai address.
- Does not qualify: a privacy or proxy service — EURid requires the real holder on record.
EURid does enforce this. When the United Kingdom left the EU, UK-based holders who no longer met the rules had their .eu names withdrawn from January 2021.
What does a .eu domain cost through WebJi®?
₹729 for the first year and ₹905 for each renewal year, before 18% GST; a transfer is also ₹729. Over three years that is ₹2,539 before tax (₹729 + ₹905 + ₹905), making .eu one of the cheapest restricted extensions WebJi® sells.
| Extension | First year (₹) | Renewal (₹) | 3-year total (₹) | Who can register |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| .eu | 729 | 905 | 2,539 | EU/EEA citizens, residents, organisations |
| .de | 736 | 777 | 2,290 | Open to Indian holders, no German address |
| .eu.com | 2,633 | 2,646 | 7,925 | Anyone (CentralNic namespace) |
| .com | 1,380 | 1,480 | 4,340 | Anyone |

How do .eu renewals and expiry work?
EURid renews .eu names automatically in one-year steps unless cancelled, and an expired or deleted name sits in a 40-day quarantine. During quarantine the website and email stop, nobody else can register the name, and only the previous holder can reactivate it through the registrar, usually for an extra fee. After day 40 it is released first come, first served.
Transfers move with an authorisation code, but eligibility moves with the name: a new registrar does not cure a holder who has lost the EU link. The renewal guide compares this with the gTLD grace-and-redemption cycle.
Should an Indian exporter choose .eu, .eu.com or .com?
Use .eu when a qualifying EU entity or person will genuinely own it; otherwise use .com, or .eu.com if you want “Europe” visible in the address. No extension ranks better in Google, and European buyers accept .com without hesitation.
You sell into Europe from India
Stay on .com; add a .eu.com regional address if a separate European catalogue helps.
You target one country
Germany’s .de, open to Indian holders, often reads more local to German buyers than .eu does.
Hosting a .eu site for European visitors
A .eu name works with any host; for speed in Europe, place the site on a European server. WebJi® offers a Germany VPS for that purpose, and business email for addresses on the .eu name. GDPR applies to the data you collect from EU visitors regardless of the extension.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can an Indian citizen living in India register a .eu domain?
Not on Indian citizenship alone. The holder must be an EU citizen, an EU/EEA resident or an organisation established there. An Indian national resident in, say, the Netherlands qualifies through residence, and must update the record on moving back.
Does Norway or Switzerland count for .eu eligibility?
Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein count because they are EEA members. Switzerland is in neither the EU nor the EEA, so a Swiss-only company or resident does not qualify.
Is WHOIS privacy available on .eu?
Not as a proxy service; EURid requires the real holder. It already limits public data: for private persons the web WHOIS shows only an obfuscated email, while for organisations the organisation name is shown.
What is the .eu cost over five years?
₹4,349 before 18% GST at WebJi®: ₹729 for the first year and four renewals at ₹905. That is less than three years of most new generic extensions.
Can .eu names use accented or Greek characters?
Yes. EURid supports internationalised names covering the alphabets of the EU’s official languages, including accented Latin, Greek and Cyrillic letters. The IDN guide explains how such names are encoded.
