    Now, tell me if I am wrong

    I don't own a website so this information may not be correct, but as far as I know, a .ie domain costs in and around €80/year?? is this correct??

    and then good ad-free hosting could be up to something like €50/year?? correct??

    well then whoever made this site:
    http://www.internet.ie

    i think is wasting their time!! lol

    the site looks ad-free as well :rolleyes:

    and that is a really good domain name as well

    whois for the site

    Don't judge a book by its cover!
    Just because the default page consists of 'test' does not mean there is little going on behind the scenes!

    John Beckett.

    He's probably waiting until someone wants to buy it from him.

    Fine. I won't answer. It's a quiz - name 3 more .ie's that he owns. Peanut for the winner.

    Adrenalin has come a very long way since then, and is now a large company based in Citywest Digital Park in Dublin employing up to 60 people. The company has a number of high profile international clients, & takes credit for the development of a number of household name sites, including Ryanair.com in 2000.

    He's 21 now.
