At .IE, our purpose is to support Ireland to get online, grow online and thrive online.

 Through initiatives such as Digital Trust .IE, we help organisations understand and improve the trustworthiness of their digital presence across their domain, website and email. Digital Trust .IE provides practical insights and assessments designed to help organisations build confidence online and showcase their commitment to trusted digital practices. This applies to all domains, not just .ie.

 We are committed to advancing Ireland’s digital ecosystem through research, advocacy and initiatives that support digital adoption, resilience and trust online. We work closely with businesses, policymakers, registrars, technical partners and community organisations to help strengthen Ireland’s digital future.

.ie is the national registry for .ie domain names and the trusted and progressive guardian of Ireland’s unique online .ie address. Our purpose is to enable and empower people, communities and businesses across Ireland to thrive online. 

  • At .ie we are committed to digital advocacy for SMEs and for local communities. Through stakeholder engagement initiatives such as .ie Digital Town, we work with and support SMEs organisations to improve their members’ online presence and e-commerce capabilities so they can unlock the power of the internet to boost sales to local consumers.
  • We also produce fact-based research for the business community and policymakers, such as the .ie Domain Profile Report and Ireland’s Digital Readiness Monitor, highlighting the trends happening across the Irish digital ecosystem aligned to domain names.
  • We operate the domain name system (DNS) for the .ie namespace, facilitate an independent dispute resolution service, and operate a public WHOIS lookup service for .ie domains.
  • In cooperation with our Registrars, technical partners and stakeholders, we help advance Ireland’s internet ecosystem.

As part of the domain registration process, every applicant must provide tangible evidence of a connection to Ireland.
