Domain Name Registration

A domain name is the address (or URL) that your web site is accessed from. For example, this web site operates under the domain of wolfhound.ie, which means I have purchased the rights to this particular domain name and it is linked to the location of my web site. If you currently have a domain name, like hosting, perhaps we can find a company that handles the registration and ownership of these domains that will cost you a whole lot less. If you are new to this area, we can help you source some of the best services out there for registering and buying domains.

As with anything, there are certain criteria that must be addressed when purchasing a domain name. Generally these days it is illegal to register a domain name that infringes on the copyright of another company or their products or services. For example Apple may not want somebody using iPod in their company or domain name as that would be seen as piggybacking on the success of the iPod. Regarding dot ie (.ie) domain names, registering these domains involves more criteria than registering dot com (.com) domains. To be eligible for a dot ie domain your criteria must fall within one of eleven categories, these can be found on the IE Domain Registry web site.
