First of all .eu is more common in countries where domains are still quite expensive. For example – .pl domain is still 2, 3x more expensive than .eu domain name (standard market price). That encourage customers to buy cheaper .eu domains. There are also more available names in .eu TLD.

And you are right that .eu is perfect for companies that do business on many European markets. I think the more businesses towards European companies and individuals, the more popular .eu domain will get.

Some statistics of .eu usage were done by EURid but it doesn’t show clearly how many domains is parked and how many is used for website. I will try to dig into this issue and show some stats in near future.

It is good for branding if you are offering a european service but most people seem to stick to .co.uk or .com

Still this is excellent news if it is being used else where Im curious though how many owners are domainers and how many are business?
