Overview

.ie is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) extension for Ireland. ccTLDs are also known as local domains, and they are strongly recommended whenever you have web content targeting visitors in a specific country.

Using a local domain is a very clear signal for the search engines, telling them exactly which country the content is targeting and it will increase the chances of your website ranking well in Irish search results. It will also help build trust with your audience, as they will perceive your brand, products and services to be “local”, and therefore more relevant to them and their needs.

We can register a .ie domain for your business, ensuring all of the details are correct on the registration and all requirements are met. We'll manage the domain on your behalf and notify you when it's due for renewal.

In order to register a .ie domain, you must provide documentation proving your connection to Ireland.

Quality process

We'll take a brief from you to ensure we have all of the information required to register the domain such as your company name and number, company type, registered address and contact name, phone number and email address for the main point of contact. We will also need to know which server you want the domain to point to.

If you are based outside Ireland, you must provide your Company Registration Certificate. You will also need to demonstrate a connection to Ireland, for example:

  • Community Trademark (CTM),
  • Invoices demonstrating regular trade with Irish suppliers,
  • A signed letter on headed paper from a bank manager, a firm of chartered accountants, a registered auditor, a tax consultant, or from a solicitor confirming that you trade/intend to trade with Ireland,
  • Documentation that illustrates the company having a significant number of customers in Ireland, or
  • Other evidence, such as references to Ireland on the company website.

Irish companies must provide a company registration number and a valid passport number of the contact person.

Irish individuals can register their own personal name – nicknames, surnames or first names only are not allowed. They must provide a scanned copy of their ID, birth certificate, or utility bill.

If you do not meet the requirements we can offer you the domain using our local contact, however, you also need to have a registered company (in any country).

We'll register the domain, ensuring all details are correct and that all requirements for holding that domain are met. We will also make sure that the domain is pointed to the right servers, and in the case that Webcertain name servers are used, we will set up the required DNS entries.

We'll notify you when the domain is up for renewal, and re-register it for you if required.

If you do not meet the requirements for the domain, or your chosen domain is not available, we will offer you a suitable alternative.

Please note: The cost for the domain is for 1 year only.
