.IE Domain Registration Process Ireland FAQ - I would like to register a .ie domain name. How do I go about it?
- We always recommend that you register your .ie through a reseller. Resellers can guide you through the application process; they will provide you with the necessary hosting information required in an application, and they will pay the IEDR for your .ie domain as your billing agent when the renewal date arrives.
You should also review our registration policy to see what supporting information we may require. For example, in the case of an Irish company or business wishing to register a name that reflects their business name, we would simply require the RBN or CRO number to be entered in the remarks field of the online application form.
- How long does it take to register a .ie domain name?
- When the IEDR receive an application for a .ie domain name it is usually processed within 3 hours. If the registration requirements are meet immediately, the application will be accepted and the domain will go live in the following IE Zone Reload which occurs four times daily (10am/12pm/5pm/10pm). Should the registration requirements not have been meet in the initial application then an email notification will be sent to advise the applicant what is required to complete the application.
- I already have a .ie domain name registered and want to register another. Do I have to send all of the same information again?
- No, we keep this information on file so that it is not necessary for you to submit the information for each new application. However, if you wish to register a domain name that does not have a direct link to your company/business/organisation name, we will require that you submit a self issued letter outlining your claim to the domain name.
