Web hosting provider Host Color Europe adds .EU domain registration as a free add-on for two of its web hosting plans - Advanced and Business.
The promotional campaign for .EU domain will start at the same time as
EURid's ".Eu Awareness Campaign" but will be extended until the end of
September 2007.
"Recent surveys showed that almost 2.465,000 .EU names have been
registered after the domain's sunrise period announced by the European
registry last year", says Host Color Marketing Director Alexander
Avramov. "Although the number of the new .EU domains rises month by
month, the European businesses are still not active enough on promoting
dot-EU and the websites based on the European name" adds Mr. Avramov.
According to the surveys 18% of the Europeans have their own domain
name and only 2 percent of those names are under .EU extension.
"Host Color values its presence on any web hosting market around the
world but supporting process of building the .EU identity is more than
business for our company. It is something we appreciate very much" say
the Host Color's executive.
The .EU awareness is still poor among the residents of European Union.
Only 66 percent of the Internet users know that the .EU domain exists
and that they are eligible to register their own. Only 30% of the
Europeans who already have their .EU domains are using it to do
business.
