Will the .EU be like the .COM boom?

03-20-2006, 05:02 AM

As the so called sunrise period has finished and now the public can register a .eu domain as of April 7th. What are your thoughts about a .eu boom similar to the .com boom.

The USA population is 295,734,134 and The European Union population totals 456,953,258 as seen on the official website http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/.../2119rank.html

What are your thoughts?

I have registered 5 prominent domains and don?t be fooled that does not mean I will get them! It is first in first served. Go to the official website for more info http://www.eurid.eu/en/general/launch

Blah.
.eu .in .xxx .whofucking cares.
Sad reality is, it's either .com or not.
.es for spanish work
.fi for finnish work
.co.uk for uk work

eu is NOT a country. It will NOT be a new .com boom.

my opinion only of course.

..and I'm off.

Just make yourself this question, who will write in his browsher porn.eu when looking for porn?

My only value for domains are the potential type ins and anything not .com or country level is useless by itself as type in generator.

If all Euro computers being sold were to be set up with browsers with .eu as standard (loads a .eu page on opening and all pre-set bookmarks set to .eu), could start surfers thinking .eu -
However, I can't really see that happening as each country would be relying on their own languge -
Pre-paid for a few .eu domains tho, just in case...

Well I was not sure as well that is why I pre registered 5 nice domains just to keep on the safe side. I believe they may be big in large countries such as Germany.

I believe it may be better not to just register adult domains but short 2-3 letter domains as they may become of value in the future.

Just a short note: you can not register 2 letter domains only if one of the letters is a number.

This is the point I am making when The USA population is 295,734,134 and The European Union population totals 456,953,258 porn.eu may be of value.

The other consideration that we may have to take into account is the .xxx sager if that does come into effect European countries do not have to abide by this fucking stupid law. Therefore all the .com?s registered for porn sites will be obsolete hence the value of .eu domains within our great industry.

Where can one register a .eu?

Even if they are not a big success, I can imagine if you register a bunch of big names you can sell em for profit...

If you are a EU resident or have a company in the EU you can register a.eu I would like to explain one thing you do not have to be an EU national but only have to be a resident in the EU. If you are not and you trust some one who lives in the EU get them to register it for you.

You can find a list of registrars here it also includes some from the USA http://list.eurid.eu/registrars/List...rs.htm?lang=en

I don't understand how you can say this when .eu has not been released to the public thus far. It will be released on the 7th April then all of us will know how successful it is or not.

As I mentioned before I believe it will be very successful due to 2 factors:

1) The USA population is 295,734,134 and The European Union population totals 456,953,258.

2) The other consideration that we may have to take into account is the .xxx sager if that does come into effect European countries do not have to abide by this fucking stupid law. Therefore all the .com?s registered by the adult industry will be obsolete and the porn industry will not be branded with the .xxx crap in Europe hence the value of .eu domains within our great industry.

Why do you keep bringing this point up.
EU is *NOT* a fucking country.
Would you think .na (north-america) would be fucking big hit since canada+usa have tons of people together? no? See my point?

As unified as europe wants to be, it's not. There's different languages, totally different cultures and it simply is NOT something you can compare with the usa. Your logic is flawed, and .eu will NOT become a big hit. Mark my words. Feel free to bump this thread in 3 years and say 'I told you so' when you made billions off your .eu domains.

..and I'm off.

Absolutely correct but you would be surprised how many .EU domains are available at the moment that some very big USA companies within our industry have not registered.

Here we go again, .eu is the new .in (I know, no one even remembers that extension now) but when .in domains came out everyone was like, "I just registered $4000 worth of .in domains! How many did you register?!".

Out of the dozens of ccTLD extensions, there are a few good ones but all the premium domains are already taken.

Developing domain markets are today what .com was 10 years ago: risky, but ripe with opportunity. Who knows which of today's long shots will turn into tomorrow's goldmine?

Domainers everywhere are preparing to pounce on the best remaining names when .EU opens for public registration April 7.

I believe if you have a multi lingual site or you are a content provider producing multi lingual content it would be in your interest to have a .EU as you will be entering a multi lingual and cultural society which to certain degree has not been tapped thus far by the USA adult industry.

DomBuyer kept going on and on about all the 'pure gold' .in domains he'd registered. Wonder how much they're worth now?
