Ireland ccTLD

Register a .ie Domain in Ireland

.ie places Ireland directly in the web address. It can serve individuals, businesses and organizations located in Ireland and foreign companies and applicants able to demonstrate a real and substantive Irish connection or qualifying trademark rights, including sites for Irish business website, professional or personal site, organization website, Ireland market presence, and brand or trademark website. Instead of using a generic ending, the domain itself communicates the country or market the project is built around.
