Over the past couple of days Ireland and a lot of Europe has been hit with a “cold snap”. From the reports we’ve received (and by looking out my office window) it’s pretty clear that there is a lot of snow and ice out there! Anyway it’s ideal weather for staying indoors with a nice [...]

Black Friday Blacknight Style
I’ve been following the entire “Black Friday” hype for the last few weeks and been more than a little bemused by how small the discounts that some of the vendors were offering. I believe in keeping things simple and clear. If you’re going to offer an “amazing” discount it needs to be amazing. It needs [...]
Celebrate 10 Years of IEDR With Barking Mad Discounts!
It’s been a while since we offered any “crazy” discounts on IE (Ireland) domain names, so when we heard it was the Irish domain name registry’s 10 year “birthday” … So what’s the deal? Pretty simple. From now until the end of November you can get discounts on .ie domain name transfers and registrations. What [...]
How To Upload Documents for a .ie domain registration request
We have added a short video that shows how to upload supporting documents for IE domain registration requests. It’s available on our Youtube channel, Blip, iTunes and elsewhere Any feedback is welcome!

St Patrick’s Day Domain Special Blowout
Blacknight is a 100% Irish owned and run company. It’s something we’re very proud of. We’re also the only Irish ICANN accredited registrar, we’re the biggest Eurid registrar, the biggest Nominet registrar etc.,, (You get the point?) For 51 weeks of the year we don’t “push” our Irishness, or at least not overtly .. However, [...]
Upcoming Change To Pending IE Domain Registrations
The IE Domain Registry (IEDR) have informed us of a small change that they will be introducing to their processes. Currently any registration or modification request is valid for 30 days, so you have 30 days to provide the supporting documentation. As of April 8 2010 this period will be reduced to 27 days We [...]

Beat The Valentine’s Day Blues With A Domain
Valentine’s Day might be a wonderful concept if you’ve got a “better half”. If you don’t, however, it can be a really annoying day. For the last few weeks the shops have been trying to tempt people with cards, gifts and flowers… So what better way to deal with the Valentine’s Day blues than by [...]
Dropped.ie – Now With Extra Funky Semantic Search
When we launched dropped.ie a couple of months ago it was aimed at helping people find good domain names to register. We limited it, however, to .ie domain names only. Of course we know that people don’t always want a .ie domain name and, in many cases, the extra paperwork for getting a .ie domain [...]
IE Domain Price Slash – Com Promo Extended
We know you love our silly domain offers, so we’re doing it again. We’ve cut the price on one year .ie domain name registrations to €14.99 You don’t need any coupon codes – just place the order online via our website and you’ll get the special price of €14.99 ex-VAT. Not sure what to get? [...]

Waiting On An IE Domain Name?
Tomorrow morning most people will go back to work if they haven’t done so already. Our offices will resume their normal operating hours and the IE Domain Registry will re-open. Prior to the Christmas break we ran a rather attractive offer on IE domain names. Unfortunately due to the sheer volume of domains and the [...]

Merry Christmas – Celebrate With A Discount
We don’t do traditional cards very well here. (Well that’s not entirely true.. we do send out a few, but not that many.) Let’s face it, while the “thought” may “count” you can end up finishing Christmas week with a load of Christmas cards from people you barely know and while it’s a nice idea [...]

Grab An IE Domain And Save
Christmas is coming that little bit earlier this year. From now until December 31st 2009 we have dropped the price on IE domain registrations and transfers to €16.95 / year. (The discount will appear in the cart, so no coupon codes required) You can register a .ie domain name for 1 to 10 years – [...]
