Default Domain name question

I want to register a .ie domain name for a business idea I have however I am a little confused with the red tape involved.
Can someone please explain to me what further steps I need to take to register the name.

Thanks,

KJF

Hi

If you want to register a .ie for a business you will need to have a registered business name. You can obtain one from the CRO (http://www.cro.ie).
If you apply online you will get a signature page which you should send back with your payment of €20. Most of the registrations are processed within a couple of weeks

If the IE domain you wish to register is closely related to the business name you only need to supply the CRO number.

For example if you registered "widget shop solutions" (silly example ) you would be entitled to register the following IE domains (and derivatives) without any extra documentation:

widgetshopsolutions.ie
widget.ie
widgets.ie
widgetshop.ie
widgetshops.ie
widgetsolutions.ie
wss.ie

If the domain you want is not clearly related to the business name you will need to provide a signed letter outlining why you wish to register the domain and why you chose the domain in question.

For example, we are a hosting company, so it would be quite easy to see why we would want a domain like linuxhosting.ie, however, unless you were told why you wouldn't necessarily know why we also wanted irishisptest.ie

I hope that makes some of it a bit clearer

If you have any other questions please ask

Michele
