The .eu domain is to be launched on December 7th 2005 and RegisterMyDomain is now an officially accredited registrar. We are accredited by Eurid (the .eu naming authority) and will shortly be ready to accept pre-registrations which will be submitted to the Eurid registry in the date and time order that they were received. Please note only accredited registrars are allowed to accept pre-registration submission requests. Beware of Non-Accredited Companies or Persons purporting to be allowed to accept registrations.

For each pre-registration that we queue up and timestamp in our database ready to submit upon commencement of each Sunrise 1 + 2 phases and phase 3 Landrush, we will charge a pre-registering administration fee. This is a non-refundable administration fee payable whether you are successful in your application or not. Please see our fee structure below and please note that these are subject to change (except in the case that you have paid for your pre-registration request).

We will make every reasonable commercial endeavour to ensure that each pre-registration request received is processed to final registration at the earliest opportunity. Please note that you are not guaranteed to get your requested domain(s) if there have been other applications for the same name(s). The pre-registration administration/validation fees for Sunrise 1 and Sunrise two applications are partly refundable in the event that an application is unsuccessful. Once Landrush is over and domains are searched and registered “live”, if they are not available when you do your search on our site then you will not be able to register them, and as such there will be no pre-registering fees Applicants will need to agree in full to Eurid’s terms and conditions and also RegisterMyDomain’s terms and conditions before proceeding to a pre-registration request or a registration.

Eurid (the newly formed Eu Domain Naming Authority have advised that there will be two phases in the allocation of domain names prior to the registry becoming fully open for public registrations. These two initial phases are to protect intellectual property rights in brands, products and services in phase 1 and 2 and the these phases will be followed by a public launch, Landrush phase 3 in early 2006 when anyone (subject to the terms and conditions of eu domain ownership) may apply for an Eu domain.

The sunrise period consists of two phases each lasting two months. Immediately after the 4-month sunrise period is over, registrations will be taken on a first-come-first-served basis.

During phase 1 only domain names that correspond with:

It is important to remember that not all the rights listed are recognised in each member state. Applicants will be required to provide the legal basis that grants the right in community law or the national law of the member state where the right is held and provide documentary evidence which is accepted to demonstrate the right under that law.

We have now launched our pre-registration requests facility at www.registermydomain.com and you can now make your pre-registration requests and pay for them online on our site. If you are not already registered on our site, you will need to do that first before you can make and reserve your pre-registration requests. You can do this by clicking on the User Registration link at the left hand side of our homepage at www.registermydomain.com. If you have a large number of domains which you wish to register, please email us at eu@registermydomain.com and we will do a bulk pre-registration invoice for you.
