ARIN took over InterNIC's responsibility for managing IP number assignments,
though ARIN does not have the responsibility InterNIC once did for registering
domain names. ARIN is modeled after RIPE and APNIC, that is, it is an independent
non-profit corporation responsible for managing IP addresses for North America.
In December 2005, the new EU top-level domain opened for business. According to
the European Registry of Internet Domain Names (EURid) website, "anyone based
in the European Union can register a .eu domain name as long as it is
available ... EURid has more than 1000 accredited registrars from all over the world."
At the same time as registration began, EUint opened a Whois search site for .eu
domains. One indication of the popularity of the EU domain is that the Google
search [site:eu] returns nearly 39 million hits.
