.eu Opens for Registration

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the euro-stops-here dept.

jla writes "Today, the .eu top-level domain opens for registration. Handled by EURid, the launch will be divided into two phases: A two-month 'Sunrise,' during which only the holders of certain 'prior rights' will be allowed to register their names, and the following 'Land Rush,' where registrations will be open to everyone. So finally the long-awaited pan-European TLD launches. The big question now is, will EURid's systems be able to handle the load?"

    Not sure what this means... But ramsex.eu has been officially reserved by the European Commission for its own use or for use by the Community institutions and bodies.

    US: I could help a bit. I could host it for a while.
    EU: *gives distrusting look*
    US: Host it for a while... a while... Share the load... the load...
    EU: Get away!!
    US: I don't want to keep it! I just want to help!
    UN: See! See! He wants it for himself!
    US: Shut up you! Go away! Get out of here!
    EU: No, US. It's you.

    Who thinks that Taco will forget to register slashdot.eu?

    Then the GNAA or some old people in Korea will use it instead.
