How To - Domain Names

    Right, my bro has set up a little company and is wondering how to go about setting up a www.mycompany.ie Domain Name. I know that UCD control everything attached to .ie but is there a webpage where you can register your domain name ? How many e-mail addresses can you have off your own domain ? Is it unlimited ? Are there companies that can offer you web space or is it a case of just signing up with a free isp and pointing your URL to that webpage that you have set up on your free isp ?

    Appreciate any clarification

    cheers

    Rich from his past mining exploits, Willy has bought a huge mansion with over 60 rooms, most of which he has never seen. There's been a mammoth party and the guests have left the place in a dreadful mess. Willy just want to go to bed, but his housekeeper, the nightmarish Maria, won't let him until every bit and piece has been picked up and tidied away.

    Look at www.domainregistry.ie. That is the UCD website that deals with .ie domains. Drop them a line and they'll give you all the info you need. The current charge is £100 a year for a domain.

    As for the number of e-mail addresses, you'll have to speak to them about this. It varies from company to company but usually costs more eg. about £5 a year extra.

    As for webspace, it's merely a point of directing your domain to the site you have setup on your own ISP.

    There are other companies who give free webspace but they usually require you to run their own advertising leaving you with no opportunity to make a profit from banners.

    Hope that helps,
