.eu

What is the reason that american registrars like netsol and register don't offer registration of eu domains and godaddy put it at the end of the list (after nonsense domains like tv, ws, cc etc).
Do they look at .eu as competition to .com (.com is actually american).

Trust me... TV domains have a lot of sense! (I mean the good ones) :imho:

Bob (owner of Godaddy) does not value the .eu extension - hence the placement.

Maybe it's because it's a brand new extension, far less established than most of those listed above it.
EDIT: and to be fair GoDaddy does say: "NEW! .eu just $19.99", it's not just stuck at the bottom of the list, they are promoting it as a new extension.

Also that those registrars are US based and that extension is only available to people in the EU. Maybe they aren't equipped or just don't want to make sure people meet the requirements (similar to .us and .ca domains)

I like my idea better! Bob is prejudiced. :hehe:

Thanks, but it must be something else.
