Publish Date: 30 May 2008

The IE Domain Registry announced that a Novara.ie customer registered the 100,000th .ie domain name. Red Sky Communications Limited registered the domain name royal-hospital-kilmainham.ie on behalf of their client and were presented free domain registration for the next 100 years to mark the occasion. This milestone figure indicates new levels of growth and e-commerce activity amongst Ireland’s growing online population.

Making the presentation to Ireland’s 100,000th dot.ie registrant, Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources Eamon Ryan, TD, said; “It is vital for the advancement of e-commerce in Ireland that companies, organisations and individuals can rely on a secure and trusted online platform from which to conduct their business. The registration of Ireland’s 100,000th dot.ie domain is a very welcome development in this regard and one the IE Domain Registry can be justifiably proud of”.

Addressing guests at the event, Mr. David Curtin, Chief Executive of IE Domain Registry said; “We’re delighted to see that dot.ie remains the domain of choice for businesses and organisations in Ireland looking to maintain a safe presence online, where cyber crime and fraud are virtually non-existent. Breaking the 100,000th barrier is testament to the trusted nature and wide appeal of dot.ie. The benefits extend to consumers too, who can be assured that with dot.ie they know who they’re doing business with. We would like to extend our thanks and congratulations to our reseller community in particular, who have been the driving force in growing the .ie namespace and in achieving today’s milestone”.
