Transfer terms for .eu
The transfer prices in the table are what registrars list. Whether a transfer of a .eu domain is free or paid, and whether it adds registration time, is not confirmed here and depends on the extension and the registrar. See the Facts tab.
Bottom line
NicNames has the lowest 3-year cost for .eu: $15.45, which is $14.66 less than Moniker, the registrar with the lowest first year.
.eu is subject to restriction and this restriction is enforced. According to the registry's eligibility rules you meet qualification in one of three ways: you may be a citizen of an EU country, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway, no matter where in the world you reside; you may be a non-citizen who lives in one of those countries; or you may be a business or organization that has been established there. Anyone else is not allowed to have one.
The check of eligibility takes place after registration, not before. If a name is held by someone who is not qualified, it can be suspended and then cancelled. This fact was discovered by British owners following Brexit. When the transition period came to an end, UK-based registrants ceased to be eligible and approximately 81,000 names were suspended on 1 January 2021. Names that had not been resolved were withdrawn on 1 July 2021 and were revoked on 1 January 2022 before being made available again for anyone to register.
The criteria were more restricted in the past. Up to October 2019, only people who were residents of the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, as well as organizations based in those countries, were eligible. EU citizens living abroad were included as a result of Regulation (EU) 2019/517 and citizens of Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway were added on 2 August 2021.
EURid is in charge of the .eu domain and was appointed by the European Commission; it has held this position since 2003. The .eu domain is subject to EU law, not to a contract with ICANN. The Commission selects the registry for fixed periods, and EURid's present term extends from 2022 to 2027. The company also manages the Cyrillic (.ею) and Greek (.ευ) versions.
In early October 2026, the EURid live counter displayed 3,687,759 registrations, and the .eu domain has the highest renewal rate of all the ten largest country code extensions at 82.5 per cent (Verisign's DNIB report, Q2 2026).
