Does anyone know the best way to buy/pre-register a .eu domain. I gather that the .eu registry/registrar goes live in April and I have a client who is pressing me to order one for her but don't know where to begin. Can anyone recommend a UK isp who is taking pre-orders?

Hi Maggie,

We can pre-register one for you if need be. If possible, could you give us a call so we can explain the rules and fees associated with the pre-registration?

Thanks Matt

I'll contact you early next week when I've had a chance to talk to the client about their strategy/branding - they're going for a .eu because all the com/org's have gone - I really think they need to address their branding so, rather than pursue something which might not fly, wasting everyone's time, I'll make sure this is what they really want!

Thanks for your usual rapid response!

Hi Maggie.

OK - Just let us know if you need any help. Phase 2 of the pre-reg has started so time is important if the company name is going to be an easy one such as "Bobs Bits"

Just to let you know that the client is still deliberating about the .eu domain! I'll come back again if/when she decides to go for it.

Thanks for your swift responses ( ... wish clients worked at the same tempo!)
