.ie
.ie is the national registry for .ie domain names and is the trusted and progressive guardian of Ireland’s unique online .ie address. Our purpose is to enable and empower people, communities and businesses across Ireland to thrive online. We operate the domain name system (DNS) for the .ie namespace, facilitate an independent dispute resolution service, and operate a public WHOIS lookup service for .ie domains. In cooperation with our Registrars, technical partners and stakeholders, we help advance Ireland’s internet ecosystem. Good governance is evidenced in our policy development process for the .ie namespace, which follows a bottom-up, consensus-driven approach through a multi-stakeholder Policy Advisory Committee. At .ie we are committed to digital advocacy for SMEs and for local communities. Through stakeholder engagement initiatives such as .ie Digital Town, we work with and support SMEs organisations to improve their members’ online presence and e-commerce capabilities so they can unlock the power of the internet to boost sales to local consumers. We also produce fact-based research for the business community and policymakers, such as the .ie Domain Profile Report and the .ie Tipping Point Report, charting the attitudes to digital of Irish SMEs and consumers during the Covid-19 pandemic. There are over 325,000 .ie domain names registered. Since March 2018, it is easier and faster to register a .ie domain. As part of the domain registration process, every applicant must provide tangible evidence of a connection to Ireland. At .ie we recognise that our employees are the key to our success. We are accredited under Ibec’s KeepWell Mark in recognition of our commitment to the wellbeing of our team, by instilling a best practice approach as the minimum standard to be achieved.
