Limitations
- Limited Global TLD Selection: While covering mainstream .com/.net/.org, EuroDNS offers fewer specialty and new gTLD options (.io, .xyz, .dev) compared to global registrars like Namecheap or GoDaddy.
- Limited Non-European Node Coverage: DNS resolution nodes are primarily deployed in Europe, potentially causing higher latency for audiences in Asia and the Americas versus Cloudflare or AWS.
- No Chinese Interface: The control panel supports English and select European languages (French, German) only, creating a language barrier for Chinese-speaking users.
- Higher Pricing on Popular TLDs: Premium pricing for .com and other popular TLDs compared to budget-oriented registrars like Namecheap or Cloudflare.
- No Web Hosting Products: EuroDNS does not offer shared hosting, VPS, or cloud servers, requiring users to source hosting services separately.
