Are .eu domains worth buying.
 
Not really that clued up, but i did try and get my full name as .com and .co.uk a while ago, already gone. The .EU version is available, is it worth it?

Its just for a personal website.

bit of a silly question really, if you want your name in the domain.

name.com/.co.uk = nope
name.eu = yes

;)

On the .co.uk i have a variation, but not my pure name. I dont really understand the way domain names work.

They're like private plates, if you have more money than sense buy your name.

just messing about and knocked up in about an hour. but it's nice to be able to point someone to your web site. maybe i am just weird that way.

Nice web site Neil, looks like you have more money than sense and I applaud that. I also have periods of more money than sense, unfortunately I wasn't quick enough for my name otherwise I'd have registered it. Any relation to Neil? http://www.neilsinclair.com/

Useful as email forwarding too :) I have .co.uk's and .eu's :) and for what they cost it looks way more professional than imacheapskate@hotmail.co.uk :thumb:

dunno about more money than sense. i enjoy racing my car. i didn't buy the .com version back in 1999 as they were really expensive back then. obviously with the .com explosion domain names got a lot cheaper and i regret now not forking out to have the .com version on retention as i see from the WHOIS report that the said Mr .com only registered the domain in 2005.
