Yesterday I was thinking about this movement to change US products and services with EU made ones in response to the US threatening EU and Canada economy and territorial integrity; and I thought about domain names.
When you buy (rent in reality) a domain you can then pay for a hosting (a space on a server) and have your email, blog/website, calendar and other services that you can then transfer to another hosting if you don’t like the old one, without changing your email address or blog address: just switch the setting that point to another server (and if you don’t know how to do it usually the hosting company can do the transfer for you).
But the top domain names are administered by some entities, and those can fall under the US jurisdiction.
For example, by Wikipedia the .com TLD (Top Level Domain) “was originally administered by the United States Department of Defense, but is today operated by Verisign, and remains under ultimate jurisdiction of U.S. law.”
So if someone wants to be sure to not lose the domain he/she paid for because some crazy US law it’s better to move/buy a domain under EU power, like the .eu that is administered by a European non profit sponsored by EU institutions. And have, of course, the data hosted in EU space.
