Default Buying a dotie domain

Hi. Can anyone recommend a good, reliable, reasonably-priced .ie domain registry? I went onto the .ie registry site to check if the name I want is free, and then clicked on a couple of the resellers they recommend, but the one that seemed most reasonable (something 365) I couldn't find out how to register with, and another which seemed reasonable was trying to charge me €62, and I couldn't see for how many years. I do so miss the ease of GoDaddy.

Registering a .ie is not as straightforward as registering a .com domain. There is the element of entitlement. You have to be able to prove that you are entitled to the .ie domain in question. This generally means registering a Registered Business Name with the Companies Registration Office (CRO - Home) or similar.

The main hosters are:
Hosting365,
Blacknight.ie
Digiweb.ie
and perhaps the cheapest, Letshost.ie

The .ie registrations are generally for one year.

Regards...jmcc

Yes, I know that, jmcc. I'm trying to register a domain name connected with a business I registered in 1994. The one I tried first was Hosting365, but when I click on Register I'm just brought back to the home page. I guess I'm doing something wrong. I'll check out some of the others you mention - thanks!

The IEDR still doesn't support multi-year registrations, so a lot of the companies offering them for more than one year aren't really - a bit like offering a .co.uk for more than the possible 2 years.

Thanks, jmcc and blacknight. I've now succeeded in registering my .ie domain name (assuming there are no further problems).

No - you haven't

You've requested it.

The registry has to manually check each and every registration request, so you won't know if it's fully registered until tomorrow at the earliest
