Learn about the guidelines and features of .eu domains.

You can register, transfer, or connect domains ending in .eu to Squarespace. These domains are a great option if you have a business or professional presence in the European Union.

The .eu country code top-level domain (ccTLD) follows different rules than most other TLDs we offer. This guide covers certain special requirements and exceptions from Squarespace and the relevant organization that oversees .eu domain registration. To learn more about these requirements and exceptions, visit TLD registry policies.

To find a domain's price, you can search for it on our domain name search page or in your domains dashboard.

TLD features

Browse the table below to learn about the unique features and rules of registering or transferring a domain ending in .eu. If you connect a .eu domain to your site from a third-party provider, these guidelines don’t apply.
Feature Rules
Address requirement When registering a .eu domain, you must select a country in the EU in the Registration panel’s drop-down menu. These domains are intended for use by EU citizens and businesses only.
Domain locking These domains can't be locked.
Domain registrant verification emails Your domain registrar and the domain name registry, European Registry for Internet Domains (EURid), may email you to confirm your contact details. Always read these messages to ensure your domain doesn't expire or get suspended. If you're unsure if an email is legitimate, contact the registry or your registrar to verify the request.
Renewals We charge these domains for renewal at least 16 days before the official expiration date shown in your public records and on your domains dashboard. If your payment fails, you have 15 days from that initial renewal charge date to renew your domain before it expires. The renewal date listed in the domain details page is the last possible date you can submit a renewal payment, which is earlier than when the domain officially expires.
Expired domains When these domains expire, we can’t renew them for you, but you'll have a 40-day redemption period to contact Tucows and request a renewal. Keep in mind, there may be a fee to restore the domain in addition to the current domain price.
Registration grace period There’s no five-day grace period to cancel these domains and no refunds. Before registering the domain, ensure you want to keep it. Double-check the domain for typos.
Free domain offer You can use the free domain offer when registering or transferring a .eu domain.
Registration information Whether you're an organization, or an individual person, the email address you use to register a .eu domain will appear on the registry database's website, eurid.eu. If you fill out the Organization field when registering, you need to enter an organization's name. Our system won’t accept “None” as an organization name.
Domain transfers When transferring to Squarespace, you’ll purchase a one-year extension of your domain registration. You’ll keep the time remaining on your current registration, plus an additional year. When transferring to or away from Squarespace, transfer authentication codes are valid for 30 days. If the code expires, request a new one from your provider.
Privacy If you register as an Individual person, your registrant information is private. If you register as an Organization your registrant information is public.
