Q. What is it?

Ireland's official domain is the .ie (dot-i-e)

Q. Why should I register one?

It identifies you as being Irish, or having a presence in Ireland. This can help you maximise your market presence in Ireland

Unlike other international domains there are a number of strict rules which apply to the naming process. In layman's terms this means that you may have a greater choice, as long as you can justify it

Q. How much does it cost?

We are currently one of the cheapest providers of IE domains!

Although the official price (direct from IEDR) is €69 we offer .ie registration for €29.95 per. annum.

Keep an eye out for special offers on IE domains.

Q. Can I transfer my existing IE domain to you?

Yes you can, we currently offer IE domains transfers at €24.99

Q. Do I need to host my website with you to use your domain registration services?

No. We are more than happy to offer domain registration services only.

Q. Who can apply?

If you operate a business or service in Ireland you should be able to apply for your own .ie

The IE registry's rules are somewhat stricter than those for .com's etc., but normally proof of entitlement will suffice.

If you aren't 100% sure which category you fall into we will be more than happy to demystify the process for you.

Q. Do I need a registered business name?

If you intend trading using your IE domain you will need either a registered business name or to be a limited company (LTD)

You can apply for an RBN here: Company Registration Office

Q. Are there any discounts for registered charities?
