Register your domain name in the new Top Level domain extension .DO at EuroDNS!

Luxembourg, December 14th, 2009 - EuroDNS is glad to announce the opening of the .DO domain extension.
.DO is the Country Code Top Level Domain for the Dominican Republic, a nation on the island of Hispaniola and also the 2nd biggest Caribbean nation with around 10 million people.
Having your name registered in a .DO is significant if you are planning to reach and communicate with the audience in the Dominican Republic. It can also be a strategic move as the word “DO” means different things in different languages. In English “DO” is the most used action verb, with plenty of meanings attached to it and possible usages. In Spanish, “DO” is the end of all verbs in past participle.
Xavier Buck, CEO of EuroDNS says, “As part of our strategy to offer a large range of new and exotic extensions, from country code top level domains to generic ones, we are pleased to launch the .DO for the Dominican Republic. We already offered the second level domain .COM.DO, more centered on commercial organizations. .DO is not only significant for its association to a country, but it also has great marketing potential and has an obvious usage: for example, one could register howdoyou.do, whatyougonna.do”. 
The registration fee for a .DO domain name is € 98 per year and the registration minimum term is of 2 years.

In November 2009 the .uk register passed another significant milestone when it reached eight million registrations.

The 8 millionth domain name lambethsuperhomes.org.uk was registered by Lambeth Super Homes based in London.
This is yet another indicator of continued strong growth in the .uk Top Level Domain, with one million domain names having been registered since August 2008.

EuroDNS has announced one month ago the opening of a pre-registration period for .eu Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs), based on a first-come, first-served model. This gives companies and individuals based in the European Union the chance to register domain names that contain non-Latin characters under the .eu domain. 
Until December 10th, benefit from a 50% promotion on your .EU, using the promocode 9EU9.
Xavier Buck, CEO of EuroDNS explains, “the opening of IDNs for the .eu is a huge step forwards for businesses and individuals in Europe. This implementation will support the 23 official languages of the European Union as well as the entire alphabets. However there won’t be any sunrise period and as it is on a first-come, first-served basis, it is crucial that customers and especially the owners of a registered trademark register in advance via our interface, www.eurodns.com, in order to secure their names. There are only 10 days left”. 
IDNs are domain names that contain non-Latin characters. These characters include, for example, the Swedish å, the German ü, the Romanian ș, the Cyrillic й, Latin accents such as é and characters from the Bulgarian and Greek alphabets. The characters that will be supported can be found here: http://www.eurid.eu/en/eu-domain-names/idns-eu/supported-characters
Another important technical aspect is the impossibility to mix scripts or characters from different scripts/alphabets in a single IDN, as some characters can look so similar that they cannot be differentiated. The maximum length of the IDN must be 63 characters after it is converted into the ACE string format needed by the Domain Name. To convert your name, please go to: http://www.eurodns.com/eu-idn-registration/
On receipt of your pre-registration order, EuroDNS will place it in a dedicated queue following the first come first served principle and will endeavor to automatically submit it to the .EU registry on December 10 of 2009. Besides, there is no additional fee to benefit from EuroDNS pre-registration queue.

 “IDNs are particularly important for .eu,” notes Marc Van Wesemael, EURid General Manager. “EURid supports all twenty-three official EU languages, and our employees come from twenty of the twenty-seven Member States. Supporting the use and growth of Internationalised Domain Names comes naturally to us.”
Another important technical aspect is the impossibility to mix scripts or characters from different scripts/alphabets in a single IDN, as some characters can look so similar that they cannot be differentiated. The maximum length of the IDN must be 63 characters after it is converted into the ACE string format needed by the Domain Name System (source: http://www.eurid.eu/en/eu-domain-names/idns-eu/idn-technical-limitations). 
The start of the registration for the .eu IDNs is December 10th 2009, during which EuroDNS will submit all domain names being pre-registered.
