'Landrush' Registration Period For .eu Domain Names Begins

by Ulrika Lomas, for LawAndTax-News.com, Brussels

10 April 2006

The 'landrush' registration period for the new .eu domain opened on Friday, according to the European Registry of Internet Domain Names (EURid), which is administering the process.

The new Internet top level domain was introduced in December last year, but until now only holders of prior rights have been eligible to apply for their protected names. From Friday though, it is possible for anyone within the European Union to simply register whatever available .eu domain name they want on a first come first served basis.

During the phase of the registration process referred to as Sunrise, when only holders of prior rights were able to apply, EURid revealed that it received more than 300,000 applications.
