About the .EUS domain

What is the .EUS domain?

The .eus is the generic top-level domain (gTLD) representing the Basque language and cultural community online — the name comes from "euskara," the Basque word for the language — delegated to the root zone on March 6, 2014, and managed by Puntueus Fundazioa, based in Donostia (San Sebastián), with technical administration run by CORE Association, in Geneva.

The PuntuEus foundation applied for this extension with ICANN in May 2012, and the proposal was approved on June 10, 2013. Registration requires bona-fide membership in the Basque linguistic and cultural community online, which includes those who use or commit to use the Basque language in their online communications, those who promote various aspects of Basque culture online, or those who specifically address their online communications and services to this community. During the application process, applicants must state the reason for registration and the domain's intended use, and may also explain their own connection to the Basque community as part of the justification.
