.ie Domain FAQs

?What are the characters and valid character lengths for .ie domain names?

Domain Names must:

have minimum of 3 and a maximum of 63 characters;
begin with a letter or a number and end with a letter or a number;
use the English character set and may contain letters (i.e., a-z, A-Z),numbers (i.e. 0-9) and dashes (-) or a combination of these;
neither begin with, nor cpr144449003101 end with a dash;
not contain a dash in the third and fourth positions (e.g. www.ab- -cd.ie); and
not include a space (e.g. www.ab cd.ie).

?Grace period for .ie domain name?

Grace periods vary for country code Top Level Domains (ccTLD) including Internationalized Domain Names (IDN). Some registries require renewal up to 60 days in advance of the domain name expiration date. It is your responsibility to pay for your Renewal Fees in advance of the due date specified by 101domain regardless of the domain name expiration date. Failure to pay your Renewal Fees prior to the cpr144449003101 due date will result in a fee of $150 to renew your .ie domain. There may be a restore period between when the domain expires and when the domain can be registered again. In the event that you do not pay by the renewal date, your site may be inaccessible during this time so it is very important that you renew this extension before the renewal date.

?.ie Domains Dispute & Policy

The most recent source for .ie domains dispute proceedure can be found at: www.domainregistry.ie/index.php/mnudisres/mnupolicy

Dispute Resolution Policy

1. Mandatory Administrative Proceeding

1.1 The Registrant agrees to submit to a mandatory administrative proceeding before an independent and impartial panel ("the Administrative Panel"). The Administrative Panel shall be appointed by the World Intellectual Property Organization ("WIPO") Arbitration and Mediation Center ("the Provider") in accordance with the WIPO Dispute Resolution Rules of Procedure for .ie Domain Name Registrations in the event a Complainant claims that:

1.1.1 a domain name is identical or misleadingly similar to a Protected Identifier in which the Complainant has rights; and

1.1.2 the Registrant has no rights in law or legitimate interests in respect of a domain name; and

1.1.3 a domain name has been registered or is being used in bad faith.

1.2 The fact that the Registrant has registered the domain name, the subject of the dispute, does not constitute evidence of rights in law or legitimate interests in accordance with Paragraph 1.1.2.

1.3 Protected Identifiers for the purpose of this Policy are:

1.3.1 trade and service marks protected in the island of Ireland.

1.3.2 personal names (including pseudonyms) in which the Complainant has acquired a reputation in the island of Ireland.

1.3.3 geographical indications that can prima facie be protected in the island of Ireland. Geographical indications are, for the purposes of this Policy, indications which identify a good as originating in a territory or a region or locality in that territory, where a given quality, reputation or other characteristic of the good is essentially attributable to its geographical origin. A Complainant is deemed to have rights in a geographical indication for the purposes of this Policy, if it has standing to bring an action based on the alleged infringement of the geographical indication before the courts of Ireland.

1.4 The Complainant carries the burden of proving, prima facie, that the three conditions specified in Paragraph 1.1 are met.

1.5 Unless otherwise agreed between the IEDR, all Parties and the Panel, the IEDR cannot be joined as a party to and shall not participate in any way in the Administrative Proceeding.

2. Evidence of Registration or Use in Bad Faith

2.1 The following factors, in particular but without limitation, may be considered as evidence of registration or use of a domain name in bad faith:

2.1.1 where the domain name has been registered or is used primarily for the purpose of selling, renting, licensing or otherwise transferring the registration to the Complainant or to a competitor of the Complainant, for valuable consideration in excess of the registrant's documented expenses which are directly related to the registration of the domain name; or

2.1.2 where the domain name has been registered or is used primarily in order to prevent the Complainant from reflecting a Protected Identifier in which it has rights in a corresponding domain name; or

2.1.3 where the Registrant has registered or is using the domain name primarily for the purpose of interfering with or disrupting the business of the Complainant; or

2.1.4 where the Registrant has, through its use of the domain name, intentionally attempted to attract Internet users to a web site or other on-line location by creating confusion with a Protected Identifier in which the Complainant has rights; or

2.1.5 where the domain name is used in a way that is likely to dilute the reputation of a trade or service mark in which the complainant has rights;

2.1.6 where the Registrant has intentionally provided misleading or false information when applying for the domain name registration.

3. Evidence of Legitimate Rights

3.1 The following factors, in particular but without limitation, may be considered as evidence of rights to, or legitimate interests, in the domain name:

3.1.1 where the Registrant can demonstrate that, before being put on notice of the Complainant's interests in the domain, it had made demonstrable good faith preparations to use the domain name in connection with a good faith offering of goods or services, or operation of a business; or

3.1.2 where the domain name corresponds to the cpr144449003101 personal name or pseudonym of the Registrant; or

3.1.3 where the domain name which is identical or misleadingly similar to a geographical indication has been used, in good faith, by the Registrant before such geographical indication was protected in the Island of Ireland.

4. Initiation of Proceeding and Process

4.1 The requirements and process for initiating and conducting a proceeding and for the selection of an Administrative Panel are set out in the WIPO Dispute Resolution Rules of Procedure for ie Domain Name Registrations, which can be found at http://arbiter.wipo.int/domains/rules/ie.html.

5.1.2 cancellation of the registration; or

5.1.3 transfer of the registration to the Complainant.

5.2 The fact that a Complainant is deemed to have rights in a geographical indication for the purpose of submitting a complaint under this Policy is without prejudice to the Panel's determination of whether the Complainant is entitled to a transfer of the registration, should the complaint be found by the Panel to meet the conditions specified in Paragraph 1.1 of this Policy.

6. Implementation of Decisions By Registry

6.1 A Panel decision to transfer a domain name registration shall be subject to the prevailing party meeting the registration conditions for .IE at the time of implementation of the decision. If such conditions are not met, the domain name registration subject to the dispute shall be cancelled.

6.2 A Panel decision to cancel or transfer a domain name registration shall be automatically stayed for a period of 21 working days from the date of notification by the Provider to the Parties and the IEDR.

6.3 Otherwise, the IEDR shall implement the Panel decision in so far as it reasonably can.

?Policy on Transfer of Registrations between Registrars

This Policy was modified by ICANN’s Board of Directors on 7 November 2008 with an Effective Date of 15 March 2009. See modified version of Policy.

A .ie domain must also have been registered for more than 60 days before you are allowed to transfer registrars. If, however, your domain happens to be involved in a legal dispute or if you are facing bankruptcy then the transfer of a domain name will not take effect.

Ensure a valid email address for the administrative contact (admin) of your .ie domain name in the Whois database. Both registrars use this email address to send you important information about the transfer. If it is invalid, contact your current registrar to update it.
Unlock your .ie cpr144449003101 domain name at your current registrar.
Get an authorization code (also known as an EPP code or transfer key) from your current .registrar, if required. Some domain name extensions, primarily country-code top-level domain names (ccTLDs), do not require an authorization code.
Authorize the transfer for .ie Domain Name

Your .ie domain transfer of your domain name generally takes at least ten working days to complete - this can be shorter or longer depending on the registrar you choose. The cost of transfer will also vary depending on the registrar. Some registrars may be more willing than others to work out a package deal for you. For example, they might offer to provide you with free domain transfer service if you agree to register your domain with them for a period of more than a year. Again, the deal you score will depend on the registrar and on the amount of time you put into finding a package that is most suited to your needs.
