EuroDNS need to be doing something about their servers....

The last hour its been almost impossible to register domains :helpme

Lee

Probably because several thousand other people are hammering with registraiton requests. Afterall this is the first day :winkwink:

i pre-ordered 15 last night.. i hope i get some of them for my hahaha8364;150.

Im up to 100 of them now.. All of them will be appearing on Sedo shortly LOL

Lee

Where you regging them? It appears it's impossible. Servers slow hehe - Or you talking about pre registering?

huh? i think it starts in 10 minutes

damn registrars offline

Thats good, it means less competition for those of us who submitted domains over the last couple of hours ;)

Its on a 1st come 1st served basis so as long as your domains you selected showed up as 'taken' after you submitted the order, you wont have any probs with them :thumbsup

Where can I register some?

where are you guys registering them?

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Regards,

where is everyone registering?

i got yachting.eu

i just registered the dopest domain ever. i even paid for it. but i doubt i will be mine hhe

are we getting the domains or not sure yet? i used dotser

come on, many ppl could have submitter orders for the same domains via different registrars, its basically a lottery

the sunshine period is the short answer. the long answer involves a few cartels that geared up big for this.

If you check the different registrars....

You'll notice that they are showing domains such as sex.eu as free, the ONLY registrar that is updating in real-time right now is EuroDNS.

So you are correct, if you are registering them other than at EuroDNS you are playing a lottery.

"an unnamed group of registrars placed 8mil euros on deposit and has the capacity to register 800,000 domain names"

Damn.. They beat my 5k budget :warning

got these:

gofuckyourself.eu
gfy.eu

another mania, oh no

Im thinking Enom. I know a lot of people were pre-registering thru them.

Soul Rebel, I pre-ordered about 25 names via Dotster, but no sign from them yet.

Did you get anything from them? Or do you think they fucked up?

It is going to be some time before you really know you have the domains. Even if you register now its still pre registration. It's lottery, even at the official registar.

Damn, Lee you should've sent them to Godaddy or something lol

i was thinking pool but it is probably along those lines.

Hahaha

In all honesty i dont really care, i got the domains i needed :winkwink:

Regards,

Lee

gonna be some wild auctions that's for sure.

i just registered few so its early to say. It's very possible those were taken already so nothing won't happen. eurodns site loads slow as shit. In worst case I guess the'll refund the registration fees.

You'll know in 24 to 48 hours? I wouldn't trust it. I'd try elsewhere too.

Where do you come up with this shit?

From Friday anyone within EU can register their own .eu Internet domain name
04 Apr 2006
Several hundred thousand new .eu domain names expected when
EURid opens at 11:00 on Friday



The new Internet top level domain .eu 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.

I'm almost finished. If anyone wants a list of the best available names to try and grab, $50 paypal + icq me.

It actually opens at 10am GMT which was 9 minutes ago :winkwink:

As i mentioned above, if you pre-order over the past few hours and re-checked and noticed the domain you pre-ordered suddenly changes to 'taken' on EuroDNS you have nothing to worry about :thumbsup

First come first serves, means just that :winkwink:

Regards,

Lee

false information alert

That is not correct - EuroDNS is just showing "taken" for any domain that has had a application in the sunrise (no matter if the application has later expired) + those domains that have been pre registred via them (which just means that they cross them off in their internal ordering system - NOT the official whois.eu db). EuroDNS have no more edge than anyone else.

So if you saw a domain as "taken" yesterday in the EuroDNS system, then you should have checked the whois.eu, and if the appilication had expired, then you should just had found another registrar where the domain had not been pre registred/ordered.

Like polish_aristocrat said at this time its a lottery ticket system - that includes any domain you have pre ordered via EuroDNS.

Ok haha. Eurodns is super fast here and I registered and paid for about a dozen domains. All top keywords so if what you say is true then i just made millioneeeeeeeeeesseee

Im talking about changing from 'free' to 'taken' within the space of 5 minutes, not days ;)

Lee

Why does everything I read say it is NOT a lottery? It says on Friday it's first come first serve. Someone please explain this or is every site on the internet making shit up?

Yep thats rite

All domains i have registered this morning are now parked at Sedo...

http://www.corporations.eu

http://www.europeandomains.eu

Plus about 100 others :thumbsup

Lottery ticket my ass :321GFY

Ok - its not a lottery, where they will random choose a winner... however the way the landrush will work, then it will basicly be random which registrar that will hit the domain first.

Lottery because most ( or many ) people pre-registered domains.

So if you have f.e 100 registrars and in each of them a different person pre-ordered a particular .eu domain, and each of the registrars were saying they are gonna submit the application at the very first minute today, then its basically a lottery on who will be faster. Yes, first come, first served, but overall its close to a lottery.

That was at least the case with .info and im 99% sure its similar now.

edited: Rolo said the same, just shorter :)

Post all your 100 domains that you think you own, so we can check if you are correct... you have nothing to loose, if you are correct :-)

let's not forget the 1600 shell registries created for this as well.
