Out of curiosity, does a Ltd from the UK counts as EU nowadays after the brexit?

The website says European not EU. UK is without much doubt in europe.

> You can register and use a .eu domain if you are an EU or EEA citizen regardless of where you live, a resident in the European Union or European Economic Area, or a business or organization established within the EU/EEA.

UK is neither.

The company itself is located in all of those essentially (Sweden), what seems to be located in UK is the "datacamp" thing.

No? This company is based in Sweden, right?

That being said, the only reference to the EU is the domain itself - everything else says European, and the UK didn't move during Brexit.

The company is Swedish, but the website is hosted by datacamp in the UK. You can see it for yourself if you run whois on their domain.

No. No EU no EEA. Hard brexit. "European continent" has nothing to do with the .eu domain, which is restricted to EU citizens and businesses.
