    About .eus domain

    .eus is a sponsored top-level domain (sTLD) operated by the PuntuEus Fundazioa. It was delegated to the root zone in April 2014, following ICANN's New gTLD Program. The extension was created to serve as a dedicated online space, with its registry policies managed by the sponsoring organization to ensure alignment with its foundational purpose.

    Who can register .eus domain

    Registration for a .eus domain is restricted to members of the Basque linguistic and cultural community. Applicants must demonstrate that their use of the domain will be legitimate and beneficial to that community. During the initial launch phases, priority was given to entities with specific vocations in promoting Basque language and culture, trademark holders, and entities with existing online content in Basque. Post-launch, community nexus is subject to ongoing validation.

    How to register .eus domain

    1. Check availability and eligibility: Use a registrar's search tool to see if your desired .eus domain is free. Before proceeding, ensure you understand and can meet the community nexus requirements, as you will need to attest to your legitimate connection to the Basque linguistic and cultural community.
    2. Select a registrar and review terms: Choose an ICANN-accredited registrar that offers .eus registrations. Compare their pricing, included services like WHOIS privacy (if available), and their specific process for handling the community validation required for this TLD.
    3. Complete the registration application: Provide your contact details and complete the checkout process. You will likely need to make a statement of intended use, affirming your connection to the community and your commitment to using the domain in a manner beneficial to it.
    4. Configure your domain: After your registration is approved and the domain is activated, access your registrar's control panel to configure DNS settings, such as nameservers, to point your new .eus domain to your website or email hosting.

    Typical uses of .eus domain

    The .eus domain is primarily used by individuals, organizations, and businesses that are part of or wish to support the Basque linguistic and cultural community. It is a popular choice for cultural associations, educational institutions, local businesses, and media outlets that operate in the Basque language or promote Basque culture, providing them with a distinct and relevant online identity that immediately signals their affiliation. This makes it a preferred alternative to generic extensions for projects focused on this specific community.

    Tips for registering .eus domain

    • Registrations operate on a first-come, first-served basis, but all applications are subject to community nexus validation to ensure they align with the TLD's purpose.
    • A false statement of intended use regarding your connection to the Basque community can be considered an act of bad faith and may lead to the suspension of the domain name.
    • The registry implements a compliance program to regularly audit registrations and ensure ongoing adherence to the community-focused registration policies.

    Who can register a .eus domain?

    Registration is open to individuals and entities that are bona-fide members of the Basque linguistic and cultural community. You do not need to be physically located in the Basque Country, but you must be able to demonstrate a legitimate connection, such as through language use, cultural promotion, or community involvement. During the application, you will be required to state your intended use, which is subject to validation by the registry.

    Can I transfer a .eus domain between registrars?

    Transferring a .eus domain to a new registrar follows the standard inter-registrar transfer process, but the domain must remain compliant with the TLD's eligibility policies. You will need to obtain an authorization code from your current registrar and ensure the domain is unlocked. The new registrar will initiate the transfer, and you must confirm it. The domain's registration period will be extended by one year upon a successful transfer.

    What happens if my use of a .eus domain changes and no longer benefits the community?

    The registry maintains an ongoing compliance program to ensure domains continue to meet the registration policies. If your use of the domain changes and no longer aligns with the requirement to be beneficial to the Basque linguistic and cultural community, it could be subject to review. A material change that contradicts your original statement of intended use may be considered grounds for action by the registry, which could include suspension of the domain name.

    How are trademark rights protected within the .eus TLD?

    The .eus registry participated in the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH) during its launch phase, providing a Sunrise period for verified trademark holders to secure corresponding domain names. Beyond Sunrise, trademark holders can utilize the Uniform Rapid Suspension (URS) system and the standard Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP) to address cases of cybersquatting or abusive registrations within the .eus namespace.

    Was there a special period for early registrations before general availability?

    Yes, prior to General Availability, the registry conducted a qualified launch program and a structured Launch phase. This allowed entities with a specific vocation in promoting Basque language and culture, validated trademark holders, and entities with existing online content in Basque to register domains. This phased approach ensured key community members and rights holders could establish their presence first.
