IEDR to introduce personal .ie domain names?
There has been a lot of talk about the IEDR changing their policy on personal domain registrations by lifting the restrictions currently in place. The IEDR have now consulted resellers (the vast majority in favour), and the IEDR board are to make a final decision next month.
.ie registrations broke the 80,000 barrier earlier this month. If this policy change goes ahead, the new registrations would open up a new stream of revenue for the IEDR and we could see Irish domains breaking the 100,000 barrier within months.
Via ENN.ie:
“Private individuals may soon be able to apply for their own dot-ie (.ie) domain name. The IEDR has announced that it has consulted with dot-ie resellers, who have said they are supportive of the introduction of dot-ie personal domains. This policy relaxation is scheduled to be ratified by the IEDR board in July.”
