Let’s celebrate the .IRISH!
.IRISH is a great domain if you want to reach people looking for something related to, you guessed it, Ireland. No matter where you are in the world, you can easily gain an Irish audience with this domain. It’s a great alternative to .IE which has some restrictions if you’re not based in Ireland or have a real connection to Ireland. As such, .IRISH can be used by all, near and far.
Top 5 reasons to register .IRISH:
1. It’s a gTLD (like .COM, ORG, .NET etc) rather than a ccTLD (.CO.UK, .FR, .JP etc), meaning it’s not tied to one specific place
2. It works for every type of business
3. It’s a close match to yourbusiness.ie if that’s taken
4. It’s a great keyword for SEO (Search Engine Optimisation)
5. It’s so easy to remember
Thanks to the large Irish diaspora that’s so spread out worldwide, you can reach the Irish in almost every corner of the world. In fact, the Irish diaspora population is estimated to be around 70 million, with many being in the United States. So, while you’re targeting Irish people, you’re reaching them in loads of countries worldwide.
The TLD also doubles as a language. The weeks coming up to the Junior Certificate and the Leaving Certificate are a great time to build your Irish grinds website for students trying to improve their Gaeilge. Your .IRISH website can also help teach the language to millions of people around the globe who just want to learn it in their free time.
Have a look at trailblazers.irish, shoplocal.irish, and digital.irish for inspiration and to see how these businesses used their .IRISH domain to their advantage.
