I register a few .ie domains and am always wondering what’s the cheapest. Couldn’t find any comparison on the net so I went through the Table A list of companies on the IEDR site. Table A companies have registered over 500 domains. If any of the other companies sell cheap, contact me.
So I tried to register for each company and got to the point of entering a credit card and took note of the price. For other companies that I couldn’t get to the register page for some reason or another I took note of their listed one year price and any VAT. CSC Domains Inc, BT Ireland, Eurokom and IE Internet all had no listed price and no register page, they asked you to contact them directly. NetNames UK gave no specific .ie price and when I tried to register one their system crashed. NASK TESTING PDN site was down when I checked.
All prices are including VAT even when the site says nothing as I’m presuming they all charge it. Ignore the tailing zeros, the prices are floats in the MySQL table. It’s for one year registration and immediate transfer to external nameservers. If I’ve any information here incorrect about your company, contact me and I’ll fix it. So here’s the list starting with the cheapest:
Update: Added ICCM Hosting 19 Sept
| ICCM Hosting | 29.030000 | Not listed as a reseller on IEDR site. Appears on registration form that you have to use their hosting. |
| Letshost.ie | 30.240000 | |
| Hosting 365 | 31.400000 | Claim free parking. |
| Switchmedia | 34.070000 | |

| Host Ireland | 60.320000 | |
| Elive | 66.550000 | This price is including VAT because it says nothing about it on the site and if I had to guess I’d say there’s another 21%. Register form was down when I checked. They’ve some bullcrap about managing your DNS services being an extra E10 a year. |

| Hosting Ireland | 84.700000 | Claim free parking |
| Magnet Business | 119.790000 | Doesn’t say anything about VAT, presume it has to be added on so I did to get this price. No register form, have to contact them. An extra E175 to point domain to a different host…. |
Hi Georgie,

How typically Irish.
Just a slight correction to your listing for IccmHosting.com, you can register domain names only with IccmHosting, there is no requirement to host with us when you register a domain name.
At ICCMHosting.com it is not necessary to use our hosting when registering a domain name
