<p>(PRWEB) August 30, 2007 --
Only 16 months after its official appearance, the .eu domain has
recorded 2.5 million registrations for the second time -- after a brief
consolidation. The same number had been reached in the spring, but as
the year ended, some of the domains registered in the opening phase had
not been claimed by their owners, which pushed the number of total
registrations below 2.5 million. For Frederick Schiwek, Vice-President
of Sales and Marketing for leading domain registrar EuroDNS SA,
reaching the 2.5 million mark "proves that the common Internet suffix
is clearly on the road to success in Europe." </p>
<p>
Among EU countries, the countries with the greatest number of .eu
domains are Germany (815,000), the United Kingdom (354,000), and the
Netherlands (340,000) all core markets of EuroDNS. France (170,000) and
Italy (125,000) follow closely behind. Sweden and Cyprus occupy the
front of the midfield with 90,000 registrations each, and Slovenia and
Bulgaria (3,900 each) and Gibraltar (2,500) occupy the lower end of
that area.
</p>
<p>The smallest number of domain names has been registered in far-off
French overseas territories: 181 in Réunion, 75 in Guadeloupe, 49 in
Martinique, and 8 in French Guyana.
</p>
<p>Most of the domain owners use their existing generic or
country-specific domains as their primary address and register their
.eu domains as a second or alternate address. But more and more
companies and organizations support the goal of greater unity within
Europe and prefer to use the .eu suffix. "Originally conceived of as a
defensive suffix, .eu is now mature and well into the .com competition
for most used domain," says Schiwek.
</p>
<p>To mark the registration of 2.5 million domains, EuroDNS is offering
a discount on .eu domains until September 30, 2007. Customers who enter
discount code EUPR25M when placing an order with EuroDNS receive a
discount of 50%.
