Irish Domain Names 

Want to transfer your .ie domain to Hosting & Web Solutions?

Domain name transfers are charged at the normal domain registration prices. The registration will extend your current domain registration by a further 1 year from the current expiry date.

When you choose to transfer your domain name to Hosting & Web Solutions, we suggest that you update your domain name DNS (Domain Name Settings) first. If your domain name registrar offers a domain management interface you should login and make changes so your domain name points to our nameservers first.

You should provide your domain registrar with the following nameserver information:
ns1.hostingandwebsolutions.com or 217.115.112.133
ns2.hostingandwebsolutions.com or 217.115.115.13
ns3.hostingandwebsolutions.com or 217.115.112.134

When the transfer process has begun, you will not be able to make any changes to your domain name until transfer is completed, transfers of .ie domains usually take 48 hours to complete.

Please note that 'transferring a domain' means moving the billing of a domain only. This does not transfer your email accounts or website content, or automatically update the DNS. Please refer to our website transfer form page for moving your website to us.

Below are the steps to transferring your .IE domain to Hosting & Web Solutions.

1. Place your order by sending us an email. You will then be sent a link to pay for the transfer.
2. Ensure that payment is completed.
   Please note that, as per the IE Domain Registry's Transfer Policy, newly registered .ie domains cannot be transferred until the initial payment for registration has been made to the original registrar.
3. Fax (or scan and email) a signed letter on your headed paper authorising the transfer of your .ie domain to Hosting & Web Solutions. e.g.
   Please be aware that these letters cannot be accepted if they are not signed, and they must be legible. Also, before you start a transfer of your .ie domain you must make sure that any registry lock has been removed.
4. Approximately 12-24 hours after submitting the transfer form you will be sent an email from the domain registrant email address requesting permission to initiate the domain transfer. You must click on the link in that email for the transfer to start, if you do not click on the link the transfer will not start.
5. Domain transfers for .ie domains can take up to 48 hours or more to complete from the time you click on the link in the domain transfer initiation email. No changes can be made to your domain name whilst the domain transfer is in progress.
6. When the process is completed you will receive an email from Hosting & Web Solutions confirming that the transfer of your domain was successful. If you don't get this email the transfer did not complete and you will need to contact us to find out why.
