Over 80K .EU Domains Suspended Due to Brexit Regulations

All .eu domains owned by UK registrants are now suspended following the enforcement of new measures as the Brexit transition period comes to a close.

EURid, the registrar for .eu domains, is enforcing measures that came into effect on January 1 stating .eu domains must be owned by citizens or organizations located in the European Union. EURid began notifying UK registrants about these new measures coming into effect back in October.

Domains suspended on January 1, 2021, can no longer be used for websites or email addresses. Registrants of suspended domains have until April to prove they’re eligible to hold the domain.
