Register an Irish Domain - Get your own .ie domain

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

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

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 €22.95 per. annum.
• Keep an eye out for special offers on IE domains.

Can I transfer my existing IE domain to you?

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

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.

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.

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
