Personal IE Domains Go Live Tomorrow

By on October 30, 2007 in Blacknight, Domains, iedr, irishblogs, News

Tomorrow morning personal IE domains will be made available for the first time.
We’ve been accepting registration requests for the last few weeks, so tomorrow morning at zero hour we will be submitting the queued requests to the IE Domain Registry.
If you haven’t ordered a personal IE domain then you still have time, though obviously your choices will be more restricted if your surname is common.
For those of you who have already submitted your registration requests and sent us in the documentation you can sit back and relax. If we need anything more from you our sales team will be in touch.
Of course if there is a large volume of requests there will be delays. We’ve been warned by the IEDR to expect delays, so we must ask you to please be patient.
If you have any queries do not hesitate to contact our sales staff, but please bear in mind that the volume of queries may result in there being a longer delay in replies than is normal.

    Keep up the good work with the blog.
    With regard to personal .ie domain names, it’s about time the IEDR caught up with the times. Irish people are amongst the most tech-savvy in the world, but for some reason we are denied access to good Internet services. From broadband to domain names, everything in this country is restricted.
    I welcome the policy change by the IEDR but I hope they don’t expect a pat on the back for it, this is something that should have been done years ago.

    Thanks to Michele, Niamh, and all the back room fairies for making the mechanics happen but Joe is right, this is so overdue from the IEDR its not even funny.
