Register a .eu domain

$9.95 for the first year at Serverlys, and $9.95 a year to renew. Transferring an existing .eu domain in costs $9.95, which adds a year to its registration.

You must be one of the following: a citizen of an EU member state, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway, wherever you live; a resident of one of those countries; or a business or organisation established in one of them. Registrations that stop meeting this can be suspended.

Only if you qualify another way. Since 1 January 2021, UK residents who are not EU citizens, and UK companies with no establishment in the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway, cannot register new .eu names. A UK resident who holds citizenship of an EU country can, and so can a European subsidiary registering in its own name.

No. The renewal rate is the same $9.95 as the first year, so there is no introductory discount to lose.

Letters a–z, digits 0–9 and hyphens, up to 63 characters before the dot, not starting or ending with a hyphen. Capitals make no difference, so YourName.eu and yourname.eu are the same domain. The .eu registry also requires at least two characters, and names written in Greek or Cyrillic script take the Greek or Cyrillic version of the extension instead.

The minimum term at Serverlys is one year. Longer terms, where the .eu registry allows them, are shown at checkout, and you can renew every year after that for as long as you want the name.

The .eu registry does not publish the personal details of individual registrants in public WHOIS.

Google treats regional extensions like .eu as generic, so it does not limit which countries your site can rank in.

Yes. Email at a .eu address works through the domain’s MX records, which you set in DNS. Serverlys business email sets them for you, or you can point them at any other email provider; the domain and the inbox do not have to be with the same company.

No. You can register .eu on its own and point it at Serverlys hosting, at your own nameservers, or at another provider entirely. The DNS records stay editable either way.

Renew before the expiry date and nothing changes. After expiry, most registries hold the name for a grace period, and many add a redemption period with a restore fee, before releasing it for anyone to register; the length of each is set by the .eu registry. Turning on auto-renewal avoids the question.

Unlock the domain at your current registrar and get its authorisation code. .eu is a country-code extension, so the transfer rules of the registry for the European Union apply; we confirm them before you pay.
