.eu Domain names must meet a number of technical requirements:

Top level domains, or TLDs, are the letters after the "dot" in a Web address. There are several different types of generic TLDs, including .com, .net, .org, .info, .biz, .eu and many others.

Whenever possible, register a domain with the .com extension, or .eu for businesses located in Europe.

If the domain name you want isn't available, you'll need to compromise. This may mean selecting some other configuration of your company name or product, or possibly buying a domain with one of the less-popular TLDs.

Choosing The Right Domain Name

Choosing the right domain name is very crucial. It can affect your search engine rankings and your website’s visibility. People often think a lot before purchasing a domain name. Sometimes, after a person has decided which domain name to use, the domain that he wanted has already been taken.

When choosing a domain name, you have to be fast, because someone might take it if you can’t decide quickly. But don’t just purchase without thinking — you might regret it. Ask yourself the following questions before buying a domain name.

Is the domain name recognizable? Does the domain name describe your product?

Obviously, your domain name must be your company’s name or be at least related to your products.

If your company is called The Black Shoe, consider the domain names theblackshoe.eu or blackshoe.eu. But remember, a keyword-rich domain name would rank higher in search engines than the company’s name itself. So consider buying shoes.eu or anything related to your product and redirect that domain to your main site to get more visitors.

Is the domain name easy to remember?

If your website is named John Jack Doe’s Very Nice and Useful Website, do not buy johnjackdoesveryniceandusefulwebsite.eu . This will make it hard to remember, and your visitors might forget your URL because it is too long!

Instead, buy johnjack.eu, jjdoe.eu or something similar.

Is the domain name readable/pronounceable?

It will really be better if your domain name is readable or pronounceable. Imagine having the domain name hhgsuryguiryt123.eu. How will you tell people about your website? I think it would really be embarrassing, especially to your customers, if you cannot even pronounce your own domain name.

Is the domain name unique?

You might want to buy theimagescanners.eu for your company The Image Scanners, which scans images for a price. But what if there is a completely different site which uses the domain imagescanners.eu and sells scanners (the hardware)?

The best thing to do is to backorder the domain to ensure that all your visitors are lead to your website. If not, just stick with theimagescanners.eu and be sure to tell all your customers that imagescanners.eu is NOT yours.

If you have the budget, try buying the name with all the extensions (.com, .net, .org, .eu etc…) to be certain that it would be completely yours. Just redirect the others to the main site so that you won’t have to copy all your site’s content again and again.

No matter what you choose make sure it is short and easily recognizable. This is the name people will find you and come to know you by. Preferably you want a one word name or a description name that will stick in peoples memory.

In the physical world, you can distinguish a business because of its structure, window displays, or signs. You can tell that a bank is a bank, or a clothing store is indeed a clothing store. In the Internet, however, it is an entirely different story altogether.

Your domain name is the only clue to your online business.
You do not have visual clues: no location, no look, and no store design. Instead, users have to type in a word or a set of words to reach your site. Your prospective visitor has no way of knowing what your site is all about until she finds it and reads its contents. Who can ever tell that Amazon.com sells books?

Your domain name can spell your success on the Internet. A good domain name is the best asset you can ever have. It can make your business stand out in the crowd, or just float aimlessly in space.

The need to provide immediate clues to an online business led to the prevalence of generic domain names. Generic names instantly provide the user with an idea of what a business is all about, what to expect and look for in a site. For instance, Etoys.com is a toy store.
The temptation of the generic name has been so powerful; that some companies even paid ridiculously high prices to get the name they want. The domains Loans.com and Wines.com were both bought for $3 million each. Telephone.com was acquired for $1.75 million, while Bingo.com sold for $1.1 million.

However, generic names do not necessarily create the “buzz” that you’d like surrounding your website. Branding has always been about proper names: McDonald's did not name their store Hamburger. Hertz is not called Car Rental. FedEx is not Mail Carrier. Kodak is not Photographs. Google is not Search Engine. Microsoft is not Computer Software.

For better branding results, your domain name should stand out and be easy to remember. Consider the following tips when creating a domain name:

• The domain name should be short
• The domain name should be simple
• It should be suggestive of your business category
• It should be unique
• It should be easy to interpret and pronounce
• It should be personalized
• It should not be difficult to spell
• It should not be difficult to remember

Domain names can be registered through many different companies (known as "registrars") - a listing of these companies is available at EURID.eu. You can register for domain names from 1 to 10 years in advance and prices can vary anywhere from 7 EUR to 80 EUR per year for each registered domain. Most website hosting companies, as explained later, will handle the registration process for you, but make sure that you are properly listed as the owner of the domain when it is registered. If you have registered a domain name for a specific period, make sure you renew it in time. You’d be surprised at the number of cases, where website owners have lost their domain name to a competitor by not renewing it in time
