General pre-registrations* are available with no application fee. These domain(s) will be submitted by all participating registrars in the order they are received when the registry opens for First Come First Served registrations in the first quarter of 2006.

oh shit my bad, i guess i pre registered a few then :Oh crap

which company do you use ?

this is from godaddy, and which do u use?

btw i checked Dotster and they don't offer .eu yet, so it must be pre-registration, if not, everyone would be talking about today on GFY

I think they arent available for general purchase until sometime in April.

thanks, will take a look

btw i should truly read more about .eu... when .info and .biz were introduced 4 years ago i spent lots of time and opened like 30 registrar accounts to pre-registem them , but didnt get anything valuable in the final draw cause of scammers with bogus trademarks who abused the system

I am sure it is pre registration as I just checked with my account where I pre registered them and it is coming up that they are not available yet.

everybody uses .com anyway, and you have to live/have a registered entity there to get a .eu domain

I hear GoDaddy domains get jacked

preregister its there for months already

if they think youre spamming for instance one of your domains is being smurfed theyll kick your ass

worst registrar ever

period

When you first queued the domains you wanted to buy, you would have had a listing for each one - This being 1-5 /1-5 (1-1 means you were first to select that domain, then as time went on, that would usually go from 1-1 up to 1-5 as they allowed a maximum of 5 people to list each domain - Then obviously number 1 gets first choice and so on).
So, if the ones you pre-registered where #1's, you will most likely get them - I pre-registered all the #1's I had - Good news is, that if you don't get them, any cash you paid is returned.

? I registered two one-word infos many moths after the registration opened, and the reason I didn't register more was that I was too lazy to check out what was availible

Europen Lee is correct, last I read .eu will be open for registration sometime in April

and you sold them for a few $k each...?

nah, I still have them, never listed them anywhere

no idea how much are they worth, but I saw couple of .infos sold for quite a few bucks in the past couple of months
