Do I have to pay a fee to become .eu registrar?
No. EURid does not intend to charge a (yearly or quarterly) fee from its accredited registrars. However, before activation as a .eu registrar you will have to wire a so-called pre-payment sum. This sum is both a kind of guarantee and an advance for future invoices from EURid for the registration and renewal of .eu domains. Each time a domain is registered or renewed (or a charged transaction is carried out by EURid) this will be deducted from the wired pre-payment sum. If your pre-payment level reaches 0, your account will be blocked and you will no longer be able to execute transactions through EURid’s systems. Each month you will receive invoices from EURid for your transactions (new registrations, renewals, transfers.). By paying the monthly invoice you will automatically restore the original pre-payment sum and prevent that your account is blocked by lack of deposit. Initially, the minimum pre-payment will be set at 10,000. This may be reviewed later.
