Hello everybody! I just learned that I can get a free .eu.org domain, but I’m not sure I understand the domain creation process. Any of you has one?
I’m unsure what should I write in the “name server” section:
It wants you to put in whatever nameservers you will be using. It’s pretty nice, it’s even offering you glue records if you’re to self host your DNS too!
Most domain registrars tend to also offer DNS services and even default to using theirs, so it’s often thought those come together. It seems like eu.org doesn’t. So you have to provide your own. That could be Cloudflare or any number of DNS providers out there.
Most of those DNS providers will give you two name servers that you can input there. Minimum is 2 but some have 4 and 8 too, but it’s rare. You just put them there for the first two and you can leave everything else blank.
i got one, it’s now hosting my blog if you are interested. https://bev0129so.eu.org
When did you request it? And how long did it take for them to activate it after the request?
I looked at my previous emails,i registered at 2022-10-26, and the next day it has been accepted.
Oh wow so really quick! Which NS service did you use? The fields on the bottom of the domain request
Thanks for the info!
cloudflare,
When you buy a domain you get the “right” to that domain, and nothing else. You then need to provide (either your own (not recommended) or through a service) DNS servers which will translate those names to IP addresses for you.
At that point any and all domains under the one you registered are in your control. Any requests for domains under that one will be directed to your DNS servers.
Sometimes the registration and domain management are provided by the same companies.
they ignore all requets.
i have a couple of pp.ua domains, and there’s no limit on them (you cant register more than 3 per month)
but unfortumately one of the requirements is that you can’t hide phone number and address from WHOIS records and you must provide them your phone numberThis is what I use too, but with a disposable phone number and email.
Oh this is unfortunate :( do you know why?
I’ll look into pp.ua, thanks for the recommendation!
Here’s the thing, I was able to request one and never got it. Maybe they are simply ignoring new requests, who knows. Other users already replied to your question.
My understanding of name servers are where is your domain going to be recorded. For instance, my domain may be something.com but the name server tells the browsers to send the web traffic to 50.50.50.50 where the server lives.
According to this article, https://blog.cpanel.com/how-to-create-your-own-name-servers/, you can do it yourself by manually entering the IP address of the server that your website is hosted on.
One needs to be @ and then the IP as @ is the root
