The world's most popular domain name
With over 141 million registrations, the .com domain is the most popular and trusted extension in the world. It's the top choice for anyone building a new website because it helps establish your business and build trust with your customers.
It's also the most assumed extension - people naturally type it in if they don't know the website extension they're searching for.
Likewise, if an extension is not specified in the search bar, many web browsers will automatically find .com domains first. So, by simply registering a .com domain name, you can benefit from 'type-in traffic' too.
.com domains are as precious as gold dust so if the name you want is available, be sure to secure it before someone else does. It's the best way to protect your online identity from competitors and cybersquatters, now and in the future.
Imagine you are setting up a sunglasses shop online. You register topsunnies.ie as you operate within the Irish market but what happens if someone else registers topsunnies.com? You could lose potential customers as they might land on the .com first and expanding your business in the future could be more difficult.
However, if you own both a .ie and a .com, you will never miss out. Simply build your website on your local .ie domain and forward your .com to it – it's super easy to set up web forwarding within your Online Control Panel.
Finding the best website name is really important when building your online business. Here are a few tips to get you started:

Born in 1985, alongside the internet, it was originally meant for .commercial purposes only. Now, it’s the largest gTLD (generic Top Level Domain) in the world and it can be used for pretty much anything!
Yes! As long as it’s available you can register any .com domain you want. You can check availability by using our domain name search tool. If the name you want isn’t available - don’t panic, we’ll show you some alternative variations and help you find the perfect name for your website.
.com domains can be registered for up to 10 years. If you want to keep using your .com domain, you’ll need to renew it before the expiry date. This means it will be yours for as long as you want it and no one else can register it.
You’ll need to ask your current host to unlock the domain name you’d like to transfer and send you the authorisation (EPP) code. If you already have this, read our handy guide to help you start the transfer of your domain. There is a €12.49 + VAT fee to transfer your domain to us, which will add a 1-year renewal to your .com domain.
