Dropcatching Service for .eu domains?

blacknight · 07-09-2008, 00:59

I know there are services for catching .com and .co.uk, but what about .eu domains?

**monaghan** · 07-09-2008, 07:31

is there sufficient demand for this? Who actually uses .eu?

I know a few companies who's main website is the .eu because the .com was taken. However I can't think of any .eu site I regularily visit. I also wouldn't really recommend a .eu to customers I'd tell them to have a good think about possible alternatives.

It depends on your definition of "sufficient", but I'd suspect that there might be, as quite a few domains were grabbed in year one and held onto, so they might be released at some point

What kind of examples of drop catching for .coms do you have?

There's quite a few but I guess Domain name auctions to purchase quality expired and deleting names would be one of the better known ones
