About 5 million people live in the Ruhr area - making it one of the five largest conurbations in Europe and, due to its geographical location, considered to be the best developed region here. Finally, with .ruhr the residents and resident companies receive their own domain extension to strengthen the local identity and to support the Metropole Ruhr with its enormous structural change online.

The general availability phase will begin on Thursday, March 27, 2014. From this date, interested parties - even without a company or residence in the Ruhr area - can register their desired domains. Only the administrative contact has to provide an address in Germany.

Being quick pays off: The domains are also allocated in this phase by the registry according to the "first come - first served" principle. Take the unique chance and register your desired domain here. Many popular domain names are not yet assigned compared to established TLDs such as .de or .com.

With headquarters in Dortmund and employees from the region 123domain.eu is strongly connected to the Ruhr area and has therefore also successfully registered the domain 123domain.ruhr. We are pleased that the next milestone is now beginning and that the structural change is being driven a bit further online.

Information about .ruhr and other new gTLDs that can be registered via 123domain.eu can be found in the top-level database. We are happy to answer your questions about the registration of your desired domains under .ruhr and other new gTLDs.
