.irish registration
.irish is open to individuals, businesses, organisations and communities worldwide. There is no residency, nationality or local-presence condition, so anyone can register a suitable name. Domains are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, making availability the main factor when choosing your address. A .irish domain suits projects connected with Ireland, its culture, communities or international audience. Each label must contain between 2 and 63 characters. Registration does not require applicants to prove a particular connection with Ireland, but the chosen name should clearly support the identity and purpose of the website, service or campaign using it. To transfer an existing .irish domain to host.yt, first disable any transfer protection at your current registrar and request the domain’s authorisation code. Submit that code with the transfer order. Processing may take several days, and a completed transfer adds one year to the domain’s expiry date. Changing the registered holder follows a separate authentication process: confirmation emails are sent to both the current and future holders, and the request is cancelled if it is not completed within five days. A holder change does not alter the domain’s expiry date.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .irish extension stand for?
The .irish extension signals a connection with Ireland, its culture, people, businesses or communities. It can help visitors understand that a website has an Ireland-focused identity, even when its owner or audience is based elsewhere.
Who can register a .irish domain?
Anyone can register a .irish domain. There are no nationality, residency or local-presence conditions for individuals, companies or organisations. Available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .irish?
Registration does not require documents proving residence, citizenship or an organisational connection with Ireland. The domain label must contain between 2 and 63 characters, and the requested name must still be available when the registration is submitted.
Is .irish a good choice, and what projects suit it?
A .irish domain is a practical choice for cultural projects, community groups, tourism services, local businesses, publications and international organisations with an Ireland-related focus. It gives the address an immediate identity without requiring the registrant to be located in Ireland.
When does .irish make more sense than .com?
irish makes more sense when an explicit connection with Ireland is central to the project and useful to visitors. .com offers broader, more neutral positioning and may be more familiar globally, while .irish provides stronger cultural and geographic signalling but narrows the perceived focus.
How quickly is .irish registered, and how long does it last?
A .irish request is handled on a first-come, first-served basis, with completion subject to registry processing after submission. The domain remains active until its recorded expiry date and can be renewed to continue its registration.
How do I transfer a .irish domain to host.yt?
Disable transfer protection at your current registrar, obtain the domain’s authorisation code and provide it with your host.yt transfer order. The process may take several days. Once completed, one year is added to the existing expiry date.
