For many e-business ventures the domain name is the most critical purchase they will ever make. And while for other businesses, the domain may not be so critical, it is nevertheless important to choose the right one for a number of reasons. Reasons that include your business image or brand and ease of rememberance for your customers. We are happy to discuss the options open to you so feel free to contact us with your domain queries.

For internationally traded companies, we recommend you choose a dot com (.com) domain. For companies that deal primarily with an Irish customer base, a dot ie (.ie) domain add legitimacy to their online presence.

Our .com, .net, .org, .biz and .info domains are available at the incredibly low price of just €9.95. And .ie domains are available at the low price of just €69.95.

How to choose the correct Third Level Domain (TLD)

A TLD is the extension of your domain. It is the bit after the dot, so to speak. As mentioned above, .com is ideal for internationally traded businesses and .ie for companies with an Irish focus. But there are other choices. We have attempted in the table below to make your decision easier.

Dot Com (.com)      €9.95 Dot IE (.ie)      €69.95
A .com is appropriate for a commercial enterprise trading internationally. If you sell online to a world-wide audience or market your wares to a world-wide audience, then a .com is the most appropriate choice. Because most of the best .com domains are already taken by others, you may also consider a .biz domain. A .ie domain is the best choice for Irish companies doing business primarily in Ireland. Because registering a .ie domain requires proof of entitlement to the IE Domain Registry, having a .ie lends legitimacy to your online presence and will garner additional trust with your Irish customers.
Dot Net (.net)      €9.95 Dot Org (.org)      €9.95
A .net domain is aimed at companies who offer network services. Often .net domains are used by Internet Service Providers, like DBA HOST, for services such as DNS (e.g. ns1.dbahost.net). A .org domain is used by a not for profit organisation. This could include charities or clubs.
Dot Biz (.biz)      €9.95 Dot Info (.info)      €9.95
The .biz domain was introduced in recent times due to the fact that the .com domain has been so oversubscribed. If you find it impossible to get an appropriate .com domain and the equivalent .biz domain is available, you may consider getting the .biz domain instead. The .info domain is appropriate for informational sites. This usually refers to sites about a particular product or might be used for historical sites or any site where the conveyance of information is the primary focus rather than any commercial focus.
Dot Co Dot UK (.co.uk)      €25.95 for 2 years Dot TV (.tv)      €49.95
The .co.uk is intended for organisations who conduct business in the United Kingdom. The .tv domain is actually the country domains for Tuvalu, a small island nation located in the southwest Pacific Ocean (just like .ie is the country domain for Ireland). However, the .tv domain is primarily used by companies in the media industry, for example television production companies or television stations.
