Why can't I renew .eu?
Name.com renews them no problem.
5 other registrars I deal with renew them.

You can only renew .EU domains about 60 days before they expire.  If they expire more than 60 days from today, you won't be able to renew them.

You scared me and I renewed a .eu -- which was set to expire 58 days from now. according to what you said I should not have been able to do so. So what is the real rule? Please refer me to actual law.

Thanks.

You can renew .EU domains that expire sooner than 60 days.

Thanks, DD staff. So I cannot renew .eu later than 60 days but I can renew them earlier than 60 days, OK. So in your experience, what is the earliest, i.e., how close to expiration date can .eu renewal be purchased? Secondly, if an .eu expires, how much time do I have to renew it, if at all?

Thanks again for your time.

You can renew an EU domain anywhere from 60 days prior to expiration, all the way up to expiration.  After that,  the domain is quarantined.  There is no Renewal Grace Period on an EU domains.  Please remember that domains are time-stamped at registration.  You will not necessarily have until midnight on your expiration day to renew.  As always,  early renewal is recommended.
