That's the only thing I can find on record of someone applying for the .eo domain... but that was back in 1999 I believe.
I think it would be great if Esperanto had its own tld. For example: www.google.eo or something.
The other thing that could go with it is that the domains would be free for people to register, but applicants must apply in Esperanto. That would make another benefit for learning the language.
I was wondering how we could go about getting a petition or something around to submit to icann.org on getting this started.

Josh:The other thing that could go with it is that the domains would be free for people to register, but applicants must apply in Esperanto.That would never fly. They would definitely want payment.
But a TLD would be nice. Although then the lojban people would want one too. And the Klingon-speakers. And so on.
Not that I have any problem with them getting TLD's either. Just seems unlikely, somehow.

But the idea is really nice. I mean, there are places with their own tld and yet less people than there are Esperantists. For example the Falkland Islands, Jan Mayen, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, Bouvet Island, ...

This is an interesting idea. There has been a move recently to grant domains to linguistic and cultural groups, instead of just countries. For example, the .cat domain was approved in 2005 for "the Catalan linguistic and cultural community on the Internet" and it's fully independently of countries in which Catalan is spoken. There are campaigns now to get .gal for Galician, .cym for Welsh, .bzh for Breton and others along the same lines. Perhaps .eo (or .epo if a three-letter domain is more appropriate) should be considered too.

Here is a list of what I guess would sound alright:
.eo
.esp =P
.int (international language perhaps?)

a domain name for Esperanto is a good idea. I guess .eo would be the best version, epo rather reminds people on doping (cyclists...).
Anyway, don't know whether a petition would help or whether someone here from the forum who is experienced with the setup of domains/web sites might just go forward and inquire what would be needed to succeed with your idea.

Now the DNS or Nameservers are radically different.
I think a new push for a .eo could work. given the plethora of new extensions that are out there nowadays.
godady says its 1208 different extentions.
although i could not find the different landoj on godaddy.

Talisman:This thread is almost 10 years old.Nothing much has changed. "epo" surely is possible, "eo" surely not.

godady says its about 350 different extentions.

please take a look at the "brand spanking new" choices godaddy has
https://www.godaddy.com/tlds/gtld.aspx
.xyz is a cool one and even though it is not eo specific, it could be co-opted I don't like .epo and for icann to add .epo is the same as adding .eo
(the really Hot new extention is .io)
Correction: godaddy has 1208 different extensions. .eo is Possible politically and technically (unless thier already is a .eo extention for some country) and it seems it's only a question of MONEY. which is probably greatly reduced from what it was

Gentlemen & Ladies:
I propose that the rapidly-growing worldwide community of those who use
Esperanto on the internet be granted the domain extension [.eo] even
though there is no ISO recognised country of "Esperantoland". If Tonga
[.to] and Nauru [.nu] deserve domain hierarchies despite extremely small
populations, I think it not unreasonable to grant similar status to the
much larger community of Esperantists.
Thank you for your consideration!
