.ie
From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.
.ie is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the Republic of Ireland.
The .ie domain was managed by University College, Dublin, since its delegation from Jon Postel in 1989, until the creation of IE Domain Registry (IEDR) in 2000; the university is still the IANA Sponsoring Organization. The IEDR is considered more conservative than other similar authorities and places certain restrictions on registration, for instance it has a policy against personal names and its fees are quite high.
Their is no official second level domain policy but the Irish Government do place the majority of their websites in the .gov.ie domain.
