First it was Sweden, then came Spain, now France, and soon Italy. More and more countries are opening up their Registration rules to encourage companies - and private individuals - to register their Domain Names. Many of these changes have been influenced by the new .eu domain name that will provide a European-wide registration option. Companies and individuals need to be aware of these changes and to secure their brand and company names across Europe.
More than 28 European and generic domain extensions are now available for unrestricted registration at http://www.eurodns.com. The website is available in 10 languages, and offers all registrations in an easy, fully automated way, including the 10 new European Union members who joined earlier this year.
