How the Ireland storefronts were read

The registry's full list of .ie accredited registrars (115 names, plus GoDaddy from its partner page) was read on 2026-09-29, and 11 storefronts were opened: nine Irish retail brands plus the OVHcloud and Gandi pages. Blacknight's pages were not found, Hosting Ireland returned 502, and Irish Domains and GoDaddy returned 403. Maxer displayed US dollars and Gandi priced for France. Five stores print a regular .ie price in euros excluding 23% VAT, each with a cut first year. On 2026-10-15 the remaining 105 registrars on IEDR's list that publish a website were opened, so every registrar on the list with a published website has now been tried: 79 were read, 26 could not be, and 3 more print a comparable .ie price.

FAQ

Is Elive accredited to sell .ie?
Yes. Elive is on the accredited-registrar list .IE publishes, read on 2026-09-29. Accreditation means the registry permits it to sell the namespace; it does not by itself mean the registrar retails .ie to the public, which is what the storefront read establishes.
What does Elive charge for a .ie domain?
On 2026-10-15 its own page printed €12.29 incl. VAT, computed from €9.99 ex. VAT. That is the registrar's quote on one date, with the VAT treatment the page stated, not a price this site verified through its pricing pipeline.
Has this site tested Elive?
No. We have run no support test, no transfer test and no uptime measurement on Elive, so it carries no score and appears in no quality ranking. The .ie ranking on the Ireland page orders registrars by one printed price only.
