Is .eu domain good?

[paulgl]

I am planning to buy a .eu domain name because I will build a website and target audience in EU area. Is .eu domain good? or should I buy a .com domain instead?

Yes, If you target country is EU then it will be good choice for you.

There is a bit to consider. Do you want to target keywords which will also help with seo with an exact site description in the name? Do you want a brand? Is the brand available in both dot com and .eu? Are the most generic names taken? Can you get something short an abbreviation? LLL.eu. What is the industry your targeting?

.eu domain is great if your market audience is strictly Europe or you have a business that has anything to do with European institutions/projects. If your service is not location restricted, then .com is always better to remember.

.com domain is best to choose. but most .com domains are already occupied so best alternate for you is to choose .eu domain. With .com domain you have more flexibility to expand at later stages

I think .eu is the best choice if your target country is EU.

I think so but I would suggest to pick a .com instead if you don't want to limit yourself at this area, with .com you can target global.

.com is always better because everyone will type yourwebsitename.com when they remember about your site.

Anyway... if the domain have a good keyword or is already registered as a .com and if you really JUST want to have audience in the EU, probably it's better than a bad .com domain.

It depends on your country choice. If it is for EU, your choice is right.

I don't think so, I visited more websites at EU but they didn't use .eu but used .com instead.

.com is mostly used that is needless to say:clap: . But .eu is for EU country, isn't it?

Definitely it is good for EU but why you want to limit yourself in EU while .com can work good for all locations.

 

[gracadedues]

I don't really know what the market is like in the EU. Are they more educated to remember .eu or are they more familiar with .com. I live in Australia where the domain is .com.au however I've always opted in for .com because it is easier for people to remember. I would say choose whatever people will remember easier. And off course if you ever think you might go global then definitely choose the .com

 

[markbatham]

Yes it is good if your target audience if only EU area, but if you target audience is global and for some services/product you wanted to target EU, then go with Multilingual sites, make your main domain .com and the can target a number of Areas with other domain extension or Can create a directory for such audiences.

We suggest you to choose .com rather than the .eu. because .com works fine with all the location, but .eu is restricted to the Europe location. so, it is better to go with the .com. Hope that will meet your needs.
