Record Registrations for .IE Domains
The IE Domain Registry has confirmed that there was a record number of dot-ie domains registered in 2009.
A total of 37,055 domains were registered during the year, which is an 8 percent increase on 2008 figures. There are now a total of 136,000 dot-ie domains registrations.
The fourth quarter of 2009 saw a total of 8,533 new registrations in October and December, representing a 11.5 percent rise on last year.
IEDR Chief Executive David Curtin said: “It is more encouraging still to report that overall, 2009 was our strongest year ever for .ie registrations; an 8 per cent increase on last year’s figure is significant against the backdrop of economic difficulty for businesses and consumers everywhere”.
“It is important that Irish entrepreneurs now recognise and seize opportunities for growth online.”
