Where did the .eu domain come from?
In 2005, ICANN authorized the .eu ccTLD and it was added to the Internet root zone. Up until 2006, the European Commission and the European Parliament most frequently utilized the .eu.int subdomain, which was based on .int, the generic top-level domain (gTLD) for international organizations. As a result of the introduction of the .eu domain in 2005, most .eu.int domain names moved to .europa.eu in 2006. From 7 April 2006, registration started for .eu. EURid is currently handling the registry for .eu domain extension.
What is the purpose of the .eu domain name?
The .eu domains contribute to the evolution of the European digital economy.
