.irish domain names
An address for an Irish connection.

Is .irish right for your idea?
Compare identity with location
.irish is a generic domain ending, not Ireland's .ie country-code extension. Choose it because it fits the identity you want to communicate, rather than assuming it establishes a location or official status.
Keep spelling easy for your audience
Consider how visitors will type and share the name. This search supports ASCII names; it does not provide registration of accented or other internationalised labels.

Questions about .irish domains
Does a .irish domain prove a business is based in Ireland?
No. The ending alone does not verify location, nationality or official affiliation. Use clear business and contact information on the website.
Which .irish registration periods can I choose?
Standard .irish registrations are available for 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 years. Displayed term prices are full upfront charges. Confirm your term and renewal price at order review.
Can I connect a .irish domain to an existing website?
Yes, if the website service supports a custom domain. Follow that service’s DNS instructions. Domain registration and any paid website service are separate.
What happens after I find a domain?
Add one or more available names to your basket, then continue to registration. Enter the owner details and review the registration term and total before payment. Availability is provisional until the registrar confirms registration.
Will UKC charge me automatically at renewal?
No. UKC sends renewal reminders and an invoice. You need to pay the invoice to renew; UKC does not automatically charge you. Keep your contact details current so you receive reminders.
