Frequently asked questions about .eu domains
What are .eu domains used for?
Domains with the .eu extension are mainly used for websites that are aimed at users located in Europe. That is, they are recommended for websites that want to direct their traffic towards the European public.
DNS update in .eu domains
The DNS of a .eu domain can be modified at any time at the provider where the domain is managed. At Webempresa we provide you with a control panel where you can check the DNS assigned to the domain and also modify them. The DNS change takes effect immediately on the domain, but must propagate throughout the network. This propagation can take 6-12 hours to complete, typically.
Change of Whois data in .eu domains
The whois data of all the domain contacts (owner, administrative, technical, billing) can be changed at any time at the provider where the domain is managed. Keep in mind that the owner contact is the legal owner of the domain. If you modify these data, a change of ownership is made and the domain will become the property of the new person or entity that appears in that contact.
Is it advisable to use .eu domains with ñ?
It is not advisable to register domains that contain a special symbol (such as ñ, ç or an accent). They are called IDN (Internationalized Domain Name) domains.
The domain is registered as you typed it and will be valid for normal use, but translation into a different format is required for the services to work with the domain.
For example, the domain españa.eu translates into xn--espaa-rta.eu, and it will be as it appears for services, such as mail. For our part we do not recommend it.
Are there .eu domains that are reserved or that cannot be registered?
There is no specific list of reserved domains that you cannot register. But we do recommend that before buying a domain in your name, check if the brand is already registered or there is a company related to the domain (such as other extensions under the same name).
Can I assign my company data in Whois contacts to the .eudomain?
Yes, you can assign your company data to all contacts on .eu domains.
