Customer Testimonial

“It's learning as has been using European Domain Centre since 2005, and we have consolidated most of our domains here, currently 19 domains, including our main production domains and also our development and test domains. The support experience has to date been a pleasant one, and support has been very helpful in cases where we have ordered "hard to get" national domains and been in the process of establishing a national presence.To date we have not received a "No, can't do that"-response from EDC. The user interface for administration is clean, easy to use and understand, and informative, as well as responsive. I highly recommend using European Domain Centre for domain management.”

"Hi, I´m Christopher Hofman Laursen, the founder of European Domain Centre. In my former company I was forced to use various domain registrars, as none of them offered all top level domains. This gave me too much extra work managing our domains and the ever nagging fear of losing a valuable domain one day. Not any more! Since 2003 European Domain Centre has offered all +300 top level domains, and local country presence where required. Join companies like Full Tilt Poker, Deutsche Telekom, OpenTable and many others and avoid juggling your domain portfolio"

Jørn N. Hopland, It's learning as

"Part of my role as a PA at Man Investments is the registering of domain names and their renewal globally. We own over 500 domain names and deal with many registrant companies so I do have a lot of experience in this field. Right from the start of .eu the European Domain Name Centre have been extremely helpful, I had no experience of their system, the sunrise period and the following steps to take to register new .eu and subsequently .Asia. Christopher especially talked me through it all and helped with any queries and has continued to be helpful and friendly. I have nothing but good things to say about them in comparison to some of my other domain name registrants."
