Operations

In May 2003 the Commission designated it as the.eu domain name registry, with EURid to be established in Belgium as a consortium of two European ccTLD operators: DNS Belgium (.be) and IIT-CNR (.it).

The proponents expected a million domain names to be registered within the first year.

EURid uses the Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) which enables registrars to perform operations on.eu domain names directly.

EURid's website is available in the 24 official languages of the European Union.

Services

As the registry for the.eu top-level domain name, EURid provides citizens and businesses in the European Union and beyond with a domain for their websites.

The organisation cooperates with law-enforcement authorities like Europol. Digital sovereignty is a key goal - EURid uses EU-based software service providers and decentralised infrastructure wherever possible in order to minimise risk.

EURid's security initiatives include the Abuse Prevention Early Warning System (APEWS), to identify potentially malicious registrations before they can cause harm, and EURidity, a data quality system to prevent the registration of harmful domain names and automate their swift removal. EURid's official website is available in the 24 official languages of the European Union.

Domain holders outside the European Union

Residents, companies and organisations based in countries within the European Economic Area (EEA) but outside the European Union are able to use.eu domains, namely Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway.

On 1 January 2021, EURid disabled all domains belonging to UK individuals and businesses following Brexit, upon which the United Kingdom left the EEA.
