Hi guys I recently stumbled upon this website where you can get a eu.org sub domain (example.eu.org for instance).

I noticed though that domains aren’t created instantly. I’m curious if there is human review to get domians processed and if it generally takes a long time to make domains using them.

Not that you asked, but you can get a .eu domain for ~9€/year (assuming you live in the EU). It’s obviously more than 1USD, but I still have few for around my hobbies as it’s not that big of an expense.

Does whois privacy work for .eu?

I’ve never really checked, but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t.

.eu has custom rules for whois. You’re not allowed to use privacy/proxy services for anything other than the mandatory publicly shown email field, but for domains registered by an individual, that email field and the user’s preferred language are the only things displayed. They’ve had those rules even prior to GDPR.
