WooHoo - Got My .eu At Long Last!

A 4 Year Wait

[HuskyPup]

Have they started releasing the disputed .eu domains or are some speculators simply giving up?

They've never done anything with it, not even offered it for sale and never responded to one e-mail I sent them from my samename.com and bear in mind I also own the .biz/info/mobi/tel/asia/co.uk/cn/in/us

It was pure luck that I just happened to check since I was checking some German domain names and it threw up mycompany.eu name...the fastest registration I have ever done.

Now what should I do with it? :-)

I think that some of the cyberwarehousers are cutting back. Eurid has still not taken legal action against some of the cyberwarehousers despite the company formation documents for at least one of these cyberwarehouser stating that the sole purpose of the company is cyberwarehousing.

And to the last question - develop it. :)

I am cheerfully releasing a lot of domain names i've been holding thinking i'd develop them or they'd be valuable for some reason, a couple of year paying for their renewals, fer nothing mean only a few will be retained :)

Ummmm . . . sell it and have a party to celebrate your success? :P

Hehehe...a dozen pages already up, they were relatively easy for me to do since they're my standard Contact/Privacy/etc pages, it's the next few hundred pages that will be fun.

Fortunately I have the images ready to go, my widgets are very image intensive, it's getting round to the actual page builds for them and creating all the unique .incs etc

You could probably win an award from Eurid for that site, HuskyPup. :)

I'd have to go back through the deletions and drops lists but I think that there has been a much delayed drop trend (the kind of thing you see in the first or second Landrush anniversary drops of a new TLD) in .eu ccTLD.

Basically every domain name has a signature in that it either exists as a unique domain name in one TLD or it has variants in other TLDs. It is almost possible to predict the domains that will drop after a year or two. Some things are easy when you've ten years of domain name data in databases. ;)
