How can I register a business and obtain a .IE domain name?

Willbbz

Hi,

What I'm looking to do is register a business in order to obtain a .IE domain name for a project I'm working on with the intentions of making it an on line business.

Preferably I'd like to have the business name be different to the domain.

An example would be:
Software Technology Company Ltd.

and the .IE domain for would be something like
eMarketingTools.ie

I've seen online I can register my business name with cron.ie however the registration form is asking for a business number which I do not have

I'm aware theres an RBN1 form that can be filled out to register the business and posting it to them but is there anyway I can go about doing all this online?

Thanks for an assistance

If I register as an individual would I be right in saying I could only register a domain in variations of the following format?

firstnamelastname.ie as opposed to businessName.ie ?

EDIT: You're correct. I am now able to register the business name after registering as an individual.

I've filled in the Business name as something like Software Technology Company Ltd.

Is it possible to fill in this field
Other business name(s) under which this business is conducted
As my example name eMarketing Tools?

Why wouldn't you
Register your business name as: eMarketing Tools
Register your domain as emarketingtools.ie

P.S. A business name is NOT the same as a Limited company.

Thanks and yes I had just appended the suffix just to denote that it was the business name.

So when registering the company, I can put in multiple trading as options?

Such as:

1. eMarketing Tools
2. eFinance Tools
3. eHR Tools

and then register their respective domain names?

The reason I'm asking is because I'm a software developer and web designer. I publish websites focused around some of the software I make and would rather the were trading as the name of the software/domain name.

Hopefully I'm making sense

Unless you have a Limited company, registering a business name does not make you a company. It's still just you trading.

You do not need a registered business name for each domain, in fact it's not always necessary to have a RBN at all. Go and read about discretionary names.
