Register for the .CO Sunrise Today & Pre-Register for the Landrush and Go Live

Luxembourg, April 29th 2010 - EuroDNS is glad to announce the opening of the .CO Sunrise phase, reserved for holders of Trademarks to enable them to register the corresponding .CO domain names on a priority basis. The pre-registration is also open for the Landrush and General Availability periods.
To benefit from this priority period and secure your .CO, register your domain name today at EuroDNS for €260.  
.CO is a unique opportunity offering registrants a new experience in the branding of their online presence. The .CO extension is assimilated to the notions of visibility, international and credibility. There is a strong sense of attractiveness in these two letters extension and .CO is also highly related to social networks. .CO works perfectly with words such as “COmpany”, “COrporation”, “COmmerce”, “COtent”, “COnnect”, “Communicate”, “and COllaborate”.
Xavier Buck, comments “.CO is opening a new era and considered to be the world’s next premier web address. We are proud to be part of the .CO Sunrise registration period and we are also offering you the possibility to register for the Landrush and General Availability phases. We will also be providing some promotional prices, so stay tuned at EuroDNS”.  
.CO is more than the top level domain for the Republic of Colombia and enjoys liberal domain registration policies with no domicile or burdensome requirements for example.
There are three launch phases for the .CO domain registration process. These phases are known as Global Sunrise, Landrush and General Availability.
Sunrise for trademarks registered globally, from April 26th to June 10th, 2010. The Sunrise Process was created to allow trademark holders to prevent the abusive registration of domain names for which they hold rights. This sunrise gives the holders of certain eligible registered trademarks the right to apply for the .CO domain names corresponding with their trademarks before the registration of domain names under the .CO TLD is open to the public at large. The registration fee of €260 is non refundable and there is an extra €28 per year.
Landrush, from June 21st to July 13th , 2010 – The landrush is a period during which interested parties can seek to register priority domains not previously registered or reserved by the Registry or Restricted by Policy. An auction process will be used to allocate domain names in the event that more than one applicant applies for the same domain. Due to its early-bird status, Landrush Registration is subject to an increased price, directly determined by the Registry. This is why a yearly premium registration fee of €260 will be charged on top of the non refundable €10 validation fee.

General Availability is starting on July 20th, 2010 – The general availability is the date when .CO opens to the general public, and available .CO domain names can be registered on a first-come, first-served basis. The yearly fee will be of €28.

EuroDNS welcomes AFNIC’s opening of .FR domain names
to all French citizens outside France!

Luxembourg, April 14th, 2010 - EuroDNS is glad to support AFNIC’s opening of the .FR domain names to French citizens residing in a foreign country, lowering the geographical restrictions previously in place.
For years registration of a .FR Domain Name used to be possible only for French Companies and citizens with a valid address in France. Starting this month, French citizens no longer have to actually live in France to be able to acquire a .FR domain name for their e-mail addresses or web sites. While AFNIC does not require the interested individual to produce its passport before entering the Registration request, EuroDNS has been informed that random checks may occur following the registration where the individual will have to send a document confirming its French citizenship. 
Xavier Buck, EuroDNS CEO, comments “This decision is a step in the right direction and should finally allow French citizens – whether in bordering countries such as Luxembourg or in the other side of the world – to express themselves with a domain name linked to their home country. Having worked for years towards the wide adoption of local domain names by individuals and companies, EuroDNS is proud to support this limited opening”  
To celebrate this achievement, EuroDNS customers can now benefit from a discount on their .FR domain names registrations using the promocode FRABROAD.
It will take AFNIC another two years to finally accept registration of .FR from all individuals and structures located within the European Union, in 2012. Contrary to many Registries in the world, there are currently no plans to allow non-French individuals outside of Europe to register a .FR Domain Name. 
For more information on the .FR, please check here: http://www.eurodns.com/top-level-domain/France/Fr

By registering a .eu, the registrant can also get Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs). This means that anyone based in the European Union can register domain names containing non-Latin characters under the .eu domain.
About 3 Million .eu domain names have been registered since the launch of the extension in 1999. The advantages of having a .eu are numerous. The fact to belong to the European community, gathering 27 countries, is significant for businesses and also individuals wishing to implement themselves in Europe. Having a .eu is also having a strong European identity and opens more opportunities on both the business and social sides.
The arrival of the IDNs a few months ago has definitively been a great step forward and has allowed the existing 23 official languages and alphabets to be used and recognized as domain names.

IDNs are domain names that contain non-Latin characters. These characters include, for example, the Swedish å, the German ü, the Romanian ș, the Cyrillic й, Latin accents such as é and characters from the Bulgarian and Greek alphabets. The characters that will be supported can be found here: http://www.eurid.eu/en/eu-domain-names/idns-eu/supported-characters

Learn about the new Internet Extensions at ICT Spring 2010!
Luxembourg, March 2nd 2010 – Panelist on ICT Spring’s Intellectual Property workshop, EuroDNS will talk on “Dots for Your trademarks” to unveil the opportunities new Internet extensions represent for brand owners.

Over the years, EuroDNS has witnessed tremendous evolution of the Internet with the introduction of specific Top Level Domains (TLDs) such as .Info, .Mobi, and .Asia. The creation of these new extensions has helped companies gain more visibility and presence online and has made the search for specific products and services faster and more straightforward. This momentum will continue with the creation of new extensions, from special purposes ones, generic terms to brand names (ie: .Paris, .Berlin, .Music…).

Jean-Christophe Vignes, Executive Vice-President & General Counsel of DCL Group/EuroDNS, will present at ICT Spring and explains, “While the introduction of hundreds of new TLDs may be seen as a threat by brand owners, we believe the proper information is the only missing bit to allow companies to make the most of this huge opportunity”.

Indeed, new TLDs will give Trademarks immediate recognition on the Internet: a new URL shuch as ‘http://MyBrand’ is much more memorable than ‘http://www.myproduct.com’! So-called ‘dotBrand” TLDs will also give companies a way to control their own Internet space and distribute domain names to all subsidiaries, key entities…or even customers. It will definitively help companies protect their brands and gain even more visibility.

ICT Spring Europe is the first edition of a conference in Luxembourg oriented towards business technology and its latest evolutions, with a great focus on International players’ needs and expectations.

Scheduled right after the ICANN meeting in Nairobi, ICT Spring Europe is quite timely. Indeed 2010 should be the decisive year at the end of which all applications for new gTLDs should be submitted and reviewed. When this window closes, applicants may need to wait several years before having the opportunity to create their own extension. Therefore, companies should act now to benefit from this opportunity. With its corporate branch eBrand Services, EuroDNS, offers the necessary expertise and guidance every step of the way during the whole process.

EuroDNS is celebrating the 25 years of existence of .com by starting a great 25 days promotional campaign. Get your .com now for only 7 Euro by clicking here or using the code 25COM25.
The first .com domain was registered in 1985 and the number of .com names has grown drastically to reach the recent figure of 80 Million. The domain was first administered by the U.S. Department of Defense and then opened to commercial entities. The popularization and commercialization of the Internet turned the .com into an extension opened to all.
Xavier Buck, CEO of EuroDNS, comments “The history of the Internet and the domain names started with the .com extension. At the beginning there were just a handful of domain name extensions to choose from, essentially generic ones. Then the country code level domains came into place as well as more generic and sub domains. We can now list more than 260 types of extensions and 192 Million domain name registered in total, but these figures are evolving every day. At EuroDNS we already offer 150 different types of extensions and also a great promotion for the 25 years of the .com . Don’t miss this opportunity, click here”.
To celebrate the 25 years, .com operator, VeriSign, is organizing a high profile event, on March 16th , during which will be recognized the major innovators and leaders of the .com area. The top 75 people and companies having impacted most the Internet world have already been selected, and the".com 25" will be announced soon.
EuroDNS offers a significant number of domain name extensions from the generic ones, such as .ORG and .NET to country code top level domains, such as .FR, .DE and .ES. There is a great possibility to consolidate one’s portfolio with EuroDNS and benefit from a large number of free and added value services.

Five Reasons Why You Need a .mobi Domain – And get your .mobi for only 9 Euros !

According to analysts group Quantcast, the mobile Web grew 148 percent worldwide in 2009. Obviously the mobile Web is exploding in popularity. If you’re looking to join the mobile revolution, you should get a .mobi domain. Here are five reasons why …

1. .mobi is emerging as the de facto standard for mobile internet domains
With the growth of the mobile Web comes the need for standardization to allow consumers to easily find mobile content. Numerous times in the past, competing technology standards have delayed widespread adoption. In the ‘70s, it was VCR versus Betamax. In the 1990s it was Digital Audio Tape versus MiniDisc versus CD. In both of these examples, it was the format that got in the lead first, and enjoyed the widest industry support, that eventually triumphed. Today the .mobi domain enjoys this same position as the most prevalent mobile domain in use and was founded by a veritable who’s who of the mobile Internet.

2. .mobi domains are white-listed by network level transcoders
Designing great mobile sites takes time and effort to get the most out of the limited screen resolution and navigation mechanisms of mobiles. Having created your mobile presence, the last thing you want is a third-party transcoder modifying your site … but this is exactly what happens when you use a non-standard domain name. By industry convention, .mobi sites are automatically white-listed by all network level transcoders so you can be 100% sure that your site will render as you intended on every mobile device.

3. .mobi domains offer better search engine performance
Search engine performance is crucial to the success of any business. Because every .mobi domain registered gets its own entry in the Internet Zone Files, which are the files that search engines use to start their crawls, your site will automatically perform better than if you use any other naming convention. Additionally, search engines detect when searches are being made from mobile devices and prioritize their results accordingly. Because .mobi sites are high-quality, made-for-mobile sites, they are automatically brought to the top of the mobile search results.

4. .mobi names are designed for mobile use
Despite having close to one million names, the reality is that a lot of great names are still available. And having short names is essential for mobile where entering long URLs can be cumbersome. This is great news for companies who did not get their first-preference .com address. With the mobile Web experiencing triple digit growth year-on-year, and forecast to continue doing so, creating a memorable mobile presence now represents a huge opportunity for future growth.

5. .mobi is actively promoted and industry supported
The goal of dotMobi – the company behind the .mobi  domain – is the widespread proliferation and usage of the mobile Web. For consumers, mobile content needs to be easily found and navigated. It’s this need for standards that prompted ICANN to make .mobi the only authorized top-level domain for finding mobile content. And by having the support of industry heavyweights such as Microsoft, Vodafone, Nokia and Google, dotMobi is able to promote a single, globally recognized, domain naming convention for the mobile Web: .mobi.

Luxembourg, February 1st, 2010 – EuroDNS is proud to announce the opening of the .LU Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) Sunrise period, starting today until March 31st.
The sunrise is open to all registrants who already own a .LU domain name. The IDNs give companies and individuals based in the European Union the chance to register domain names that contain non-Latin characters under the .LU domain.
As of today, domain name holders established outside Luxembourg do not longer need to give valid power of attorney to an agent established in Luxembourg for the registration and the management of their domain names.
Xavier Buck, CEO of EuroDNS explains, “2010 is truly the year of the IDNs and we are proud to be part the .LU IDN Sunrise period. In order to secure your domain name, it is important you register it today. As Luxembourg has 3 main languages, Luxembourgish, French and German, this is a great opportunity. Don’t miss this chance to have your .LU written in your own language and alphabet. Besides the removal of the local presence will make registrations easier and open the .LU space to all ”. 
There are a number of restrictions in registering a .LU IDN. The domain names eligible during the sunrise period are those derived from an existing domain name by replacing one or more characters with the same base character with a diacritic, or by applying the general replacement convention (ie: ü=ue). Besides, .LU IDN can only be registered during the Sunrise by the same holder of the similar .LU domain name.
The opening of the .LU IDN follows the recent launch of .PL, .EU, .DE, .COM and .NET IDNs.

Luxembourg, January 5th 2010 – The Luxembourg IPv6 Council has followed closely the introduction of Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs), especially the recent launch of the .eu IDN in December 2009.

The introduction of IDN will require more IP address space which is no more guaranteed by the remaining 10% of the IPv4 address pool expected to be depleted by 2011. IPv6 will therefore extend the needed IP address capacity for IDN deployment around the world.

The implementation of IDNs gives companies and individuals based in the European Union the chance to register domain names that contain non-Latin characters under the .eu domain. The .eu IDNs support the 23 official languages of the European Union as well as the entire alphabets.

It was important for the Luxembourg IPv6 Council to analyze the interaction and market adaptation of these IDNs in relation with the next-generation Internet Protocol version 6. It was also a major step forward for key players and domain name registrars to implement IPv6 within their technology.

Together with EuroDNS, one of the IDN domain registrars, the Taskforce was able to evaluate possible influences, and confirm that both the implementation and usability of IPv6 in relation with IDN domain names works as smoothly and easily as for non IDN domain names.

 “IDNs & IPv6 are good room-mates to extend the Internet over and beyond current limited scale. EuroDNS has already implemented IPv6 for .eu IDN. This is a major milestone for the New Internet in the making” states IPv6 Forum President Latif LADID, based in Luxembourg.

EuroDNS is a leading registrar of international domain name, offering more than 150 extensions.  Any user who registered an IDN domain name at EuroDNS.com can simply go through his DNS management interface and select an IPv6 address for any registered domain name.

Xavier Buck, CEO of EuroDNS explains, “At EuroDNS, we always strive to implement and adapt to the highest technological advancements existing on the market. For the development of .eu IDNs we felt it was important to use the most adapted technology, hence IPv6 that provides greater possibilities and name resolution”.

For more information about the IPv6 Forum, go to: http://www.ipv6forum.com , and to know more about EuroDNS and .eu IDNs, please go to:  www.eurodns.com  

About the IPv6 Forum
The IPv6 Forum is a world-wide consortium of leading Internet service vendors, National Research & Education Networks (NRENs) and international ISPs, with a clear mission to promote IPv6 by improving market and user awareness, creating a quality and secure New Generation Internet and allowing world-wide equitable access to knowledge and technology. The key focus of the IPv6 Forum today is to provide technical guidance for the deployment of IPv6. IPv6 Summits are organized by the IPv6 Forum and staged in various locations around the world to provide industry and market with the best available information on this rapidly advancing technology.

Register your domain name in the new Top Level domain extension .DO at EuroDNS!

Luxembourg, December 14th, 2009 - EuroDNS is glad to announce the opening of the .DO domain extension.
.DO is the Country Code Top Level Domain for the Dominican Republic, a nation on the island of Hispaniola and also the 2nd biggest Caribbean nation with around 10 million people.
Having your name registered in a .DO is significant if you are planning to reach and communicate with the audience in the Dominican Republic. It can also be a strategic move as the word “DO” means different things in different languages. In English “DO” is the most used action verb, with plenty of meanings attached to it and possible usages. In Spanish, “DO” is the end of all verbs in past participle.
Xavier Buck, CEO of EuroDNS says, “As part of our strategy to offer a large range of new and exotic extensions, from country code top level domains to generic ones, we are pleased to launch the .DO for the Dominican Republic. We already offered the second level domain .COM.DO, more centered on commercial organizations. .DO is not only significant for its association to a country, but it also has great marketing potential and has an obvious usage: for example, one could register howdoyou.do, whatyougonna.do”. 
The registration fee for a .DO domain name is € 98 per year and the registration minimum term is of 2 years.
