History of .IE

Managed by the IE Domain Registry (IEDR). Historically, it had very strict requirements, which built a reputation for trust and authenticity.

Why Choose .IE

Trust

Consumers trust .ie websites more than generics because owners are verified.

Local SEO

The best way to rank for searches within Ireland.

Registration Requirements
