Premium .ie portfolio · offered directly by the registrant
The words people type before they hire anyone.
Two exact-match generic .ie names, registered in 2007 and held continuously by the same owner since. Sold as a pair, or separately. Offers invited.

Why these two
Nobody has to be told what a business at webpage.ie does. That saves you the first and most expensive job in building a brand — and it reads the same on a van, a radio ad, or a business card read aloud over the phone.
Both names date from 2007 and have been held ever since. Domain age is the one attribute a brand-new registration can never buy, catch up to, or shortcut.
Owning both closes the door on a competitor building next to you on the near-identical name — and on the everyday typo that would otherwise send your traffic somewhere else.
Who these suit
A name that outranks a clever one on recall alone, and gives you the strongest possible position on the terms your clients actually search for.
Launching a site builder, CMS, or hosting product into the Irish market with a local address customers already trust more than a .com.
A liquid, category-defining pair in a restricted ccTLD where the generic inventory is finite and rarely comes to market.
How they're sold
Before you offer
You need a demonstrable connection to the island of Ireland. In practice that usually means an Irish or Northern Irish registered company (with a CRO number), a sole trader or partnership based here, Irish citizenship or residency, a trade mark valid in Ireland, or evidence that you sell goods or services into the Irish market.
You will also be asked for proof of identity. The registry publishes the accepted document list, and your registrar submits it on your behalf.
No. The .ie registry dropped its old "claim to the name" rule in 2018 and moved to first come, first served. Generic dictionary words are registrable and transferable like any other .ie name, provided the holder meets the connection-to-Ireland requirement.
That change is exactly what makes these two names sellable — and it is also why comparable generic .ie inventory has been steadily taken off the market since.
Two things happen. The registrant changes from me to you, and — if you want it moved — the domain changes registrar. The registrant change is handled through the registry: I authorise the re-assignment, you confirm you're taking it on, and you supply your connection-to-Ireland and identity documents. To move registrar, you'll need the authorisation code, which I request from Blacknight and hand over.
Expect the domain to sit on hold with the registry until your documents clear. Budget days, not hours. Funds are held in escrow until the record shows your name.
If you sell to Ireland, .ie is the stronger signal, not the weaker one. It says you are here, you are registered here, and you passed a verification the .com never asked anyone to pass. That last part is the real asset: anyone can hold a .com, which is precisely why it proves nothing.
The exact-match .com equivalents of these names are long gone and would cost multiples of what I'm asking, for an address that says nothing about where you trade.
There's no listed number. Tell me which names you want, what you'd do with them, and what you're prepared to pay. A specific offer gets a specific answer, usually within a few days. Vague enquiries get a slower one.
Registry requirements summarised in good faith and current as far as I'm aware. Confirm the present rules with .IE or an accredited registrar before you commit — this page isn't legal advice.
