Brit .eu owners get another three-month stay of execution
EURid, the .eu registry, has given UK-based registrants another three months to reclaim their suspended .eu domains.
The transition period governing Brexit ended with 2020, and with it UK citizens’ right to own a .eu domain. The registry suspended 80,000 names as a result.
These domains were due to be deleted at the end of March and released for re-registration by eligible registrants next year.
But EURid has now extended that deadline to the end of June.
Anecdotally, the New Year purge caused a flood of customer support inquiries at registrars, as registrants who somehow missed EURid’s repeated warnings tried to figure out why their domains no longer resolved.
Registrants can keep a hold of their domains if they move them to a registrant with an EU address, or if they declare themselves an EU citizen living in the UK.
