Why Register a .ie Domain?

In today’s digital world, a strong online presence is essential—especially when entering a new market. If you're launching or expanding a business in Ireland, a .ie domain gives you a competitive edge with these key benefits:

Establish Local Presence

To succeed in the Irish market, it’s important to demonstrate your presence in the country. A .ie domain signals to customers and partners that you're operating in Ireland—or are preparing to be.

Geographical Relevance

Geographic relevance strengthens your local presence. A .ie domain is designed for Irish businesses and international companies with operations in Ireland. It instantly signals to customers and stakeholders that your business is rooted where it matters.

Easier to find for Irish customers

A website under an official country domain is always easier to find for customers in the respective country. A .ie top-level domain effectively increases your visibility in the Irish market and makes your business significantly easier to find.

Build Trust Through Local Engagement

Engaging Irish customers starts with earning their trust—especially as a foreign business. Securing a .ie domain shows your commitment to Ireland and lays the foundation for strong, credible customer relationships.

Boost Your Visibility with Better SEO Rankings

Websites with a .ie domain typically rank higher on Irish search engines, making it easier for local customers to find you. Registering a .ie domain is a smart SEO move that gives you a clear competitive edge online.

Stronger Brand Protection

Registering a .ie domain that matches your brand helps safeguard your business. It prevents others from claiming the name and using it for phishing or other online threats, protecting your reputation and your customers.

Building a Strong Brand

Establishing your business in Ireland starts with building a credible, recognisable brand. A .ie domain reinforces your local presence, signals geographic relevance, and shows your commitment to the Irish market - boosting your chances of long-term success.

When Does a .ie Domain Make Sense?

A .ie domain is ideal if you're launching a business in Ireland or expanding into the Irish market - whether through a physical presence or by offering online services like e-commerce or digital platforms to Irish customers.

It can also strengthen your position if you're targeting the broader European market. With many .ie domain names still available, now is a great time to secure the one that fits your brand.

Registration Conditions for .ie TLD

Ireland’s top-level domain is available to all businesses trading in or with Ireland. While companies don’t need to be headquartered in Ireland, they must show a genuine connection to the country to register a .ie domain.

This can, for example, be done with the help of:

A certificate from a lawyer, bank, auditor, or another external party confirming that you are engaged in the trade of goods or services in Ireland
Invoices that prove you are conducting trade with Irish customers and/or suppliers
A WIPO trademark number or certificate with Irish trademark number or organisation number. EU trademark numbers also work.
A Passport, driver's license, or other documents that prove residence or citizenship in Ireland.

In addition to the above basic requirements, there are also some conditions regarding how the domain name itself may be structured:

Number of characters: 1-63
Approved characters: letters (a-z), numbers (0-9), and hyphens.
