City brief · Dublin
Hosting arranged for the Dublin market
Quick, dependable hosting for businesses in Dublin — the ending locals recognise, delivery tuned to the audience you actually have, and engineers answering every hour the city trades.
The short answer
For Dublin the short version is: judge the platform and the support, take .ie for hometown credibility, and let caching absorb the geography — modern page delivery makes the datacentre's address the least decisive item on the list.
Our plans put the whole kit in front of Dublin businesses — speed, SSL, mail, copies and support — served through a delivery layer built to make distance beside the point.

Backups, all plans
Every large platform runs its European operation from the docklands, which drew in a whole ecosystem of contractors, recruiters and agencies around them. Behind that sits an independent economy of Georgian-square professional firms and a startup scene with no wish to be anybody's satellite office.
This page is written for that market exactly — the hosting its businesses genuinely need, the ending that wins local trust, and an honest word on distance against speed.
Dublin's market, seen from the server room
The trades this market runs on — SaaS and enterprise technology, funds and banking, hotels and tours and food and drink producers — different trades, the same web fundamentals — pages that open at once on a phone, enquiries that arrive intact, and uptime that never lets the side down.
Trade by trade the same pattern holds: a customer opens the site at the very moment of deciding, almost always on a phone, and marks the business on how that moment goes. Hosting is the unseen half of the mark.
Which ending genuinely converts in Dublin
The ending that wins local orders is .ie. The .ie registry is managed and wants proof of a real connection to Ireland before it will hand a name over. That gatekeeping is exactly why Irish customers give it more trust than a generic ending, since nobody registers one on a whim.
The relevant endings are registered and renewed beside the hosting, on one account with one renewal date and DNS pointed properly from the outset. Where the TLD qualifies, an annual hosting plan covers the first year of registration.
Distance, and how little it settles
Dublin's transit into London is among the densest of any city pair in Europe, and our datacentre sits at the far end of it. Cached delivery arrives with no delay an ordinary visitor could perceive, and the certificate issues automatically the moment DNS points across.
Modern serving turns on the cache. A typical visit receives a page built earlier, and the delivery time is small beside how quickly the platform generated and stored it. What settles it is NVMe, LiteSpeed and a sensible number of accounts per server, rather than the map reference.
Uptime is quiet marketing of its own
Nobody notices reliability until it goes, which is why we hold a 99.9% uptime target, monitor without a break, copy the account daily and keep people on support at every hour. To a business in Dublin, that is infrastructure doing marketing's job without being asked.
Mailboxes at your own name are part of the plan — mail is included, not sold back to you at the checkout.
Arranged for the way Dublin does business
We run sites for businesses across dozens of countries on one platform built for exactly that spread: caching that holds its speed at distance, USD pricing that behaves the same whoever is invoicing, and engineers who answer without first checking the clock.
Mailboxes at your own name are part of the plan — mail is included, not sold back to you at the checkout.
- .ie registered and renewed alongside the plan
- Cached pages that stay quick at distance
- SSL free, the move free, set-up free
- Engineers on shift whatever your timezone
Why Hosting & Domains
Standard on every plan
The move billed at nothing
Hosted elsewhere today? The whole site comes across free of charge, carried by our engineers, serving visitors the entire time, and DNS only moves once you have signed it off.
One USD price, wherever you invoice from
Billing runs in USD at a rate that renews as it stands, which means next year's hosting line is a number your accounts already hold.
One account for the name and the hosting
Your .ie sits on the same account as the hosting, registered, pointed and renewed there, with DNS aimed correctly before anybody has to ask.
Support that works your hours
Engineers are on shift around the clock — a first reply within two hours, within one when a site is down, whatever the hour is in Dublin.
Uptime with a figure behind it
We hold a 99.9% uptime target and put a pro-rated credit back on the account if a month falls short — a figure you can quote in a tender, not a slogan.
Mail that carries your own name
Mailboxes at your own name are part of the plan, so a reply reaches the customer from the same name they typed into the address bar.

Frequently Asked
The questions that come up most
What does a .ie registration require?
Evidence of a genuine connection to Ireland, whether trading, residence or citizenship, checked at registration. There is little paperwork, we take you through it, and qualifying annual plans include the first year.
Must an Irish business host on Irish soil?
Hardly ever. Dublin-to-London connectivity is exceptional, which lets a well-run platform serve Irish visitors at native pace. Look at the disks, the cache and the support well before you look at the building's address.
How do payments and auto-renewal work?
You pay by credit or debit card through a secure checkout, and renewals bill at the same rate as the original order. Every invoice sits in your client area, and auto-renewal switches off with a toggle in the account — no telephone call needed.
Will you move my existing site free of charge?
Yes. Open a ticket with the login for your current host and we bring the lot across — files, databases, mailboxes, configuration. You check the copy before DNS moves, and the old site keeps taking traffic right up to the moment the new one serves it, so nobody meets a gap.

Changing hosts? Run through our checklist first.
A plain order of work for a move nobody visiting will notice: which files go over first, how to carry the mail across without losing a message, when exactly to repoint DNS, and the two mistakes behind nearly every outage we are asked to rescue.
Do it properly this time.
From a first website to a rack of machines, moving up is a change to the account rather than a migration.
