i have 3 domains at eu.org and still just fine.
maybe your new domain's NS when register is not pointed to the DNS management
I retried one of the previously requested domain and it says i have pending request, so it means it's still stuck. Maybe they have peak month or something where request gets overloaded they are delaying registration? I don't know. Maybe too many people requested the same domain name, or what have you. I'm going to try a bunch of domains now and see if some longer names gets approve faster.
Or just don't bother and get a real domain.
Why have i never thought of this ?! Genius !
Although I don't have any experience with this, are you trying to register a (direct) subdomain or a subdomain of a subdomain? I assume that you've read https://nic.eu.org/register.html , in particular:
I already have a domain with them, only the additional domain is taking forever, so i'm asking if that's the case with everyone, as in if they give priority to first time user first domain.
My point is that they clearly want to discourage direct subdomains, so perhaps the first direct subdomain was a show of good will on their part, but then they'd prefer for you to choose a subdomain of a subdomain, as their guidelines suggest.
Neither are an excuse to leave it in "Pending" for months, just set it to Rejected or something. "You can't complain because it's a free service", firstly, that's why I do not recommend bothering with them (had a similar experience in the past), secondly, if you provide a service so poorly, there is a certain point after which you'd better just stop wasting people's time by pretending to even provide it.
My guess what actually happened: the only guy who still approves these applications got bored and/or simply forgot to keep checking the site from time to time.
Yeah, sounds plausible.
@wjt: If you want a free subdomain and don't insist on eu.org, have a look at http://freedns.afraid.org/ . (I host two domains there which anyone may choose a free subdomain of, but there are plenty of other domains to choose from.)
Offtopic, but since you brought up freedns i have subdomain there, question is if i can point the subdomain to my own nameserver on the free acccount? It's a little bit confusing there for me.
No, I don't think so.
I guess that since the whole point of freedns is dns, the domains hosted there use freedns (because this is why the domains are there to begin with -- like my two domains), and given that the free subdomains are offered by freedns, it would make sense that these subdomains also use freedns. Again, this is the whole point of freedns.
In sum, if you really want to use your own nameserver, then a free subdomain from freedns won't work for you (as far as I can tell).
