The .EU TLD
In contrast to the other country code top-level domains, .EU is dedicated to a group of countries - those within the European Union. Although not that popular among those countries yet, the registration of .EU domains is gradually increasing in volumes, preferred mainly by websites with pan-European or cross-border purpose (over the traditional national or global TLDs). Due to its multi-national purpose, the .EU TLD is administered by a consortium of the local registry operators of Belgium, the Czech Republic, Italy and Sweden - EURid. The only restricted use of the .EU domain is the second-level .europa.eu, which is reserved for EU institution sites.
The .EU TLD is also becoming a very suitable solution for all kinds of e-commerce enterprises. Domain names with the .EU TLD are easily recognizable and not hard to remember and the .EU TLD used for an online store can easily make your brand popular all over Europe.
And if you aim to further expand your online presence, you can also take a look at the .ASIA TLD, which, like .EU, stands for all Asian countries and can help you gain international positioning.
