3 websites categories have been defined:

• Core websites 
  • there are 2 core websites: the inter-institutional website and the European Commission website
  • host stable, core information, common to most Commission departments 
  • have a thematic structure 
  • serve as hubs for onward navigation to further thematic or specific content
• Standardised websites
  • give details of policies for which the DG/Executive agency is responsible
  • are strongly aligned with the core sites to provide seamless navigation between core and standardised sites
• Harmonised websites
  • address specific communication needs, and as a result, have specific content and technical needs, e.g. Campaign websites; Event websites; Blogs; Network websites; Partnership websites; Information systems; Internal policy websites

...

All European Commission websites must be hosted on the 'europa.eu' domain and implement the global banner webtool.

Exceptions:

• for promotional purposes a ‘.eu’ web address can be reserved, registered and redirected to the website hosted on the ‘europa.eu’ domain. See Promotional URLs
• exceptionally, where a site is jointly owned with a third party, it may be hosted outside the ‘europa.eu’ domain. The address should be decided on with the third party, with preference given to the top-level domain ‘.eu’. DG Comm must validate this choice
