.eu regging. Where to go just now?

[kev]

Hey everyone,

I think at this stage it would be helpful if people list the registrar that they used to reg a .eu name, that they have control over and confirmed in whois.eu.

I currently only know one which is spacereg.com which is playing up just now for some reason (cost is $23.50 inc. VAT). I want to reg this name i have found but cant find anywhere which is cheaper or better?

Thanks

Try GoDaddy.com - much cheaper and it seems to be working fine now.

mmm...should i trust them. Have u regged a name there today and is confirmed in whois? Go Daddy has still not sent my pre-regs away yet so they must have a long queue to the the register.

Names are listed as registered after approx 1 hour, but nameservers etc are not updated yet. They say it will be at latest Tuesday until nameservers updated.

Names I regged about 1 hour ago show this in whois, but with my email as contact

I wouldn't hold your breath on the pre-reg names. They could still be under a trademark application that is yet to be approved so you could be looking at another 40 days or so before EurID decides. Nothing your registrar can do about it till then.

Yes, I've reg'd .eu domains with GoDaddy, the nameservers have been updated and have been updated again when I parked the domains.

After finding some of my new regs are still in pending and will be til June I found the best way to check names is by the eurid whois. It will say if the name is in a pending state to be re-released in June or if it is really available NOW
