Brexit will change the registration and ownership of EU domain names.

From 1 July 2021, companies and private individuals in the UK with EU domain names must register at a registered address in the EU. Currently, all EU domains owned by these companies and individuals have been suspended. This means that the users cannot support their website, but also the linked email addresses no longer work. There is even a chance that the domain name will be revoked and not made available again for registration until January 2022 (by strangers and / or competitors!).

In short: this can be disastrous for the continuity of the companies and private persons who depend on websites and email addresses that fall under the EU domain.

Information

If you are the holder of an EU domain name of which you or your company is located in the United Kingdom, you may no longer own this domain name after 1 July. This also applies to EU citizens residing or registered in the United Kingdom.

Categories:

Companies based in the UK, with an EU domain name
Private individuals residing in the UK, with an EU domain name
EU citizen registered at a residential address in the UK, with an EU domain name

If you fall into one of the above categories, your EU domain name will be revoked in the period 30-3-2020 to 21-1-2022. This means that you can no longer maintain your website or use your e-mail address. It is therefore important to take quick action to change the status to available.
