What is the IE.NU Domain?

The IE.NU domain name was setup to allow everyone to have an Irish domain name. Thus bypassing the restrictions imposed by the Irish domain name registry. It has been suggested that "ie.nu" represents a better naming convention expecially for Irish Companies.

Do you supply e-mail and web forwarding?

No!. Remember we are wholesaler's. Your ISP can then use the name you register here to provide you with these services. Most ISP's will make a charge for this though. See our list of ISP's.

Can I use multilingual characters

No! All domain names (NOT JUST IE.NU) MUST follow these simple rules:

Please remember that internet domain names can only contain the following letters.:
a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z - 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9, Spaces are NOT ALLOWED.

goto top

Do I own the name?

NO!: Registering a name does not signify ownership of that name (if the name is owned by someone else or is a trademark, then it may be theirs not yours). You only have the rights to use the name for two years. After 2 years you can continue to use it after paying the appropriate renewal fee.

Responsibility: You are solely responsible for the legal aspects of registering a particular name. The terms and conditions of IE.NU Ltd are available for viewing here.

Please note this does not constitute legal advice and you are liable for all consequences of registering a domain name. See the terms and conditions of IE.NU Ltd.
