Irish domain names – Ireland’s domain name

General overview – IEDR

The country code top level domain (ccTLD) for Ireland is .ie. This ccTLD is managed by a not for profit organization in Dublin, Ireland know as the “Irish Domain Registry” or IEDR. The IEDR is not a regulatory body and provides the service to the public and internet community. The registry is responsible for the provision of IE names and the rules relating to their registration. The IEDR implements a dispute resolution policy for domains through the WIPO and unlike other registries operates Monday to Friday during business hours.

Requirements to register

The IE domain itself is a restricted domain in that only applicants who meet certain criteria may register this name. The two main requirements are: Being based in Ireland or having a strong link to Ireland (both northern and southern Ireland). Where the applicant is not based in Ireland information showing this connection must be provided. Secondly the entity registering the domain must have a connection to the name and where this connection is not obvious, must provide evidence of this connection.

Resellers and registration process

Domains are registered through approved domain resellers and are passed to the domain registry directly for approval. The approval process is carried out by a team of people known as IEDR Hostmasters. It is their responsibility to ensure the registration requirements are adhered to. Communication is passed to the approved reseller in the case where more information is required. This thorough process of vetting has led to both positive and negative effects on the domain name’s reputation.

Positive and negative aspects to the domain

On the positive side the domain was recently voted the second safest domain in the world after the Finnish ccTLD. Generally speaking IE domains are held in high regard by Irish based internet surfers. It is seen as a mark of quality or authenticity when doing business online and as a result .ie based websites are trusted over their .com cousins. Very rarely are large spam attacks initiated through an IE domain and the rate of hacks and other internet attacks from IE hostnames is quite low.

The price of .ie domain names are higher than the average TLD or ccTLD, but this price has been significantly reduced over the past 2 years, from an average of around €65 to as low as €19 today. This is due to the traditionally large human input required to approve and manage a domain portfolio. Recently the domain registry themselves have implemented an API mechanism to fast track registration, billing and modifications of domain names. This was carried out by liaising with the reseller community to assess their needs on a day to day basis. Because of the successful implementation of this API amongst the community the price of registering IE domains has fallen with some suppliers leading the way in the price reduction.

Future of the domain

The future of the .ie is bright. New technical advancements in the API as well as the continued reduction in the Irish domain price mean the number of registrations is increasing constantly. Increased promotion of the domain brand by the domain registry and reseller community alike has also led to increased registrations.

They need to be attracting a huge audience for you to judge whether they are worth dealing with. Reading through their services and, products will reveal all you need to know.

Andy G asked:


I own a domain name (which I won’t list here) that is related to buzz marketing. (It’s a fairly common two-word phrase, a .com, and there are no hyphens or numbers or anything that detracts from it.)

I reserved it several years ago to use with my business, but only started developing a project for it in the last few months (though have nothing online yet). Recently, I was offered $2,500 for it — completely out of the blue.

While I’m not yet sold on selling it (for any amount), I’m thinking pretty seriously about it. Can anyone suggest reliable appraisal services, domain brokers, auctions, or other resources to help me evaluate what I have and, should I choose to sell, maximize the return on my investment? Thank you!

Online entrepreneurs have successfully made use of the Internet to make their online businesses flourish. In cyberspace, professionalism becomes an issue because as everyone knows, it is very easy to trick people into claims of having a legitimate business. Thus, if you would like to attract people to your business you have to take all means to be reliable and professional. The best way to achieve this is to buy a domain name.

There are two basic uses of domain names. The first is to have a website and email account set-up with the name of your business. The second one that is swiftly gaining popularity is only an email account set-up. There are several companies offering domain names for sale but some of them charge really high fees so if you are still starting out, you wouldn’t really have that much money to begin with. However, this shouldn’t be a problem since there are companies offering cheap domain names.

You have to choose well when working with a company that offers cheap domain names because you might end up with a fly-by-night company. There are some steps that you must take to effectively choose a domain company where you can buy cheap domain names. Firstly, check how long the domain registration company has been in business. If they claim to have been doing domain registration for the past 20 years, you should rethink working with them because the Internet was only opened to public about 12 years ago. Whether or not you work with a relatively new company or a trusted one, it really depends on your capacity to pay for their services.

You should also check if the domain registration company will allow you to control everything associated with your domain name since a lot of them will not allow you to make changes yourself. Make sure that you do get a control panel where you can change IPS tags and Name Servers as well as other basic modifications.

Further, you have to check if the domain registration company will charge a fee when you transfer your domain away. This fee is called a release fee and is very unnecessary. Great companies offering cheap domain names will not hold your domain name ransom and will not be asking you to pay one type of fee after another. Also verify if you get an email account with your domain name. But you might be surprised to find out that most companies treat email accounts as an added extra which can be availed of with a minimal fee.

Lastly, check if they are accredited with ICANN. ICANN accreditation is very rigid and expensive so you are assured that they will not mess your website up. If they are indeed accredited with ICANN, then they are worth your money and will be very helpful for your business.

Following these steps will allow you to find a reliable and trusted domain registration company where you can buy cheap domain names essential for the success of your business.
