IE Domain Registry Announces Record Growth

May 12, 2009 by Michele Neylon

The IEDR, which is the current registry operator for dotIE (.ie), announced today that its quarter 1 registration figures were the highest to date.

Close to 10 thousand IE domains were registered in the period up to the end of March 2009, which is a 28% increase over Q4 2008. Though the press release doesn’t mention that Q4 is shorter due to the Christmas break, which leads to registrations not being completed in one calendar year, but being carried across to the next one.

According to the release over 80% of the domains were registered to either sole traders or companies.
