CircleID

More press release rubbish from EURid planted as a "story" in the media. The reason for Cyprus's high number of domains registered is due to the Ovidio domain warehousing operation that use Cyprus based front companies to register tens of thousands of generic .eu domains. The European Commission awarded the contract to run .eu ccTLD to the third rate ccTLD venture EURid. EURid made a mess of the ccTLD by its sheer incompetence in dealing with cybersquatting and cyberwarehousing. The .eu is a backwater domain in Europe, dwarfed by the .com and the ccTLDs. It is fighting with .biz for relevance and losing badly. Few companies and businesses want to be associated with a disaster hence the low usage of .eu in Europe.
