But despite its tender age, there are almost 4 million registered .EU domains according to EURid data only until the end of February 2022, making it one of the most popular Top Level domains in Europe. .EU is a great choice for your online project for many reasons. Some of them are:

As citizens of the European Union, you can get such a domain name. This is how you gain your European identity, and the domain is very suitable for business that is also aimed outside the borders of our homeland.

In recent years, more and more people are buying domains. They’re no longer just for web developers, business owners, and more tech-savvy internet users.
