Register .eu domains

To register a .eu domain, you must meet one of the following criteria: 1. You are an individual residing in one of the European Union Member States, Iceland, Liechtenstein, or Norway, or a citizen of one of these states. 2. You represent an organisation established in one of the European Union Member States; Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway.

The registration process of a .eu domain is carried out following the procedure of the EURid accredited registrar (partner). Zooku is an authorized EURid registrar. An important step is checking the availability of the desired domain, before starting the procedure. This check can be done either on our website or in domain search engines (whois).

EURid (European Registry for Internet Domains) is an organization authorized by the European Commission to register and administer domain names ending in .eu. EURid is responsible for implementing the rules and policies regarding the registration of .eu domain names.

The domain name must contain at least 2 characters and cannot be longer than 63 characters (not including the .eu extension). Can be used alphabetical characters from a to z, numbers from 0 to 9, hyphen (-). Except: Cannot start nor end with a hyphen (-) and cannot have a hyphen in third and fourth position.

A domain name may be owned by a person (physical or legal) who exists when requesting a .eu domain name registration. It is also important that the person (physical or legal) is domiciled or established in the member states of the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway.

The owner of a .eu domain can be changed following the procedure of the registrar from which you bought the domain. If you have a .eu domain purchased from Zooku, you just need to log in, access Domain Administration and then select Transfer domain ownership. Follow the steps and generate the proforma, and after making the payment, the modification will be made. In addition, in the cost of the transfer you benefit from the extension of the .eu domain for another year.

If your .eu domain has expired and is in the quarantine period, you can still do the following operations: renewal domain, transfer to another registrar / holder, exceeds the quarantine period, the domain becomes available and must be registered again. The quarantine period for .eu domains is 40 days.
