    Hello,

    I need some help and advices about what domain to register for my new web project.

    I found a very suitable domain name with the main keyword of my website, but it is .eu

    The questions is - what is the reputation of those domain names, are they good for SEO?

    Thanks in advance.

    It's good if you're targeting European traffic, otherwise you're better off with a gTLD.

    Have you ever tried to search on possible European Registrars?

    Besides, there are many of them offering .eu registration.

    I have tried all sorts of domain extensions - but now only bother with .com
    When I started, I bought lots of domains, worried somebody else might snap up useful names before me.
    Now I find that with a bit of creativity I can find available domains in most niches.
    The never ending array of new domain extensions are just ways registrars have found to increase their income.
    So my recommendation is - try to stick with .com
