It will be painful for some but let's be honest, who here has seen many high profile .EU domains floating around?

For what it's worth, here are the unique .eu domains linked to on HN during the last two weeks, along with an example HN page:

europa.eu (the most often posted .eu domain) - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18979027 . This is the "Official website of the European Union"

sifted.eu - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18958342 . This is "The new media platform backed by the Financial Times".

juliareda.eu - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18943510 . This is the site of a Member of the European Parliament from Germany, who is also a member of the Pirate Party Germany.

jsconf.eu - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18912059 . "JSConf EU is the labour-of-love conference for the JavaScript community in Europe"

elixirconf.eu - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18865236 . "ElixirConf EU is the premiere Elixir conference in Europe"

5gobservatory.eu - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18980769 . This is an organization directed by the European Commission.

This was all done manually. Someone else might automate the task.

Just one example: GoDaddy bought the HostEurope group for €1.6B [1]. They own one of the largest domain-registers (and cloud providers) in the DACH region called Domainfactory. They reside on df.eu

The disappearance of that domain is not a bug but a feature! :)
