Why a .IE domain is a good choice for charities

A .IE domain is a powerful tool for charities because it:

  • Establishes a local connection: A .IE domain shows that your charity is based in Ireland and cares about the Irish community. This can help you attract more donors and volunteers from Ireland.

  • Boosts credibility: A .IE domain is seen as a more trustworthy and credible domain than other extensions, such as .com or .net. This can help you build a stronger reputation for your charity.

  • Makes your website more memorable: A .IE domain is shorter and easier to remember than a domain with a long string of numbers or letters. This can help people find your website more easily.
