If you are trading under your own name now is the time to register your IE domain.
Why?
It is highly likely that the IE Domain Registry will be amending the rules governing “personal” IE domains.
What does this mean?
Soon any Irish resident will be able to register theirname.ie ie. if your name is Pat Murphy, you will be able to register patmurphy.ie, as long as your official documents list your name as “Pat” and not “Patrick”.
We’ll make more announcements on the subject as the official changes are announced, but we would expect to see an IEDR policy change in the next 2 months.
