London, December. 8 - A new European domain name allowing domains to be entered into web browsers using all 23 official European Union languages is set to launch this Thursday, 10th December, 10am GMT, announces Domainmonster.com®.
Internet users will now be able to enter .eu domain names into their browser using their local keyboard, dialect and language, opening up Internet accessibility throughout Europe.
Whether you want to watch the fútbol in español or spend Noël in Méribel, a brand new web is being created for the half billion population of the European Union; all now able to enter web addresses in their local language and scripts.
"This is an entirely new way of thinking on the web", commented Matt Mansell, CEO, Domainmonster.com. "European businesses and consumers, previously forced to communicate in a limited ASCII character set, can now advertise, communicate and navigate the Internet as they do every day life", he continued.
With no Sunrise (Trademark Holders Only) or Landrush (Premium public) periods to this new domain, competition will be intense when the doors open in less than 48 hours. "This is the first launch we’ve seen that isn’t protecting rights holders with a sunrise period" commented Pete Osmond, Product Manager, Domainmonster.com. "Brands like Telefónica will be keen to protect their correctly accented real estate and the astute domain community will be securing the finest generic domains", Osmond continued.
Domainmonster.com is accepting pre-orders already on a no-win-no-fee basis at www.domainmonster.com/. More details about .eu IDN (International Domain Names) can be found on-line at http://www.domainmonster.com/domains/eu-idn/.
