Hosting, Market by Market
Web hosting arranged for Ireland
What genuinely differs when your order comes from Ireland: the local endings we can register, what your card is charged, the distance to our servers, how tax applies, and which payment methods we still cannot accept.
Local Differences
Buying from Ireland, point by point
This is not a template with the country swapped in. Each line below shifts with where you are ordering from.
Local domain endings
Your national ending is not one we can register yet. Live in the EU, though, and a .eu is available to you here.
Prices in your currency
Figures display in EUR; the card is billed in USD. The conversion happens at your bank, which may add a fee of its own.
How far our servers sit
About 5–15 ms for the round trip. Nothing you could call a wait. Readers sitting in Britain or Ireland will not find hosting that lands nearer than this.
Support on your clock
GMT/IST: your clock and our team's read the same. First replies target 2 hours in English, day or night.

Unique to Ireland
Points that apply only in this market
Dublin sits roughly 10 ms from our London servers, and almost nowhere on earth is nearer, so a site hosted here behaves much as it would on Irish hosting. One gap, and we will state it plainly: .ie is not something we sell. An EU resident can register a .eu, which we do carry, and .com remains the obvious default.
Operating in Ireland
Beyond price and ping
What running a site from here involves that no plan comparison ever mentions.
A short hop geographically, a border legally
Buyers in Ireland get the kindest version of the distance story and the most awkward version of the legal one. In raw distance, London is about as near as an overseas origin gets. In law, the United Kingdom counts as a third country. Order from Ireland and your site's data is processed outside the EU, a fact that belongs in your own privacy notice rather than in somebody's audit finding.
On a brochure site, a portfolio or a small shop, this is paperwork rather than trouble: our data processing agreement covers the transfer and states where processing happens. It becomes a real blocker on a project whose impact assessment demands EU-only storage, which in practice means public sector work or health data. If that is your brief, rule us out today and save yourself the review cycle.
- Processing happens in London, which puts the transfer into your privacy notice and into your processing records
- Our DPA states the location in the open instead of burying it in a subprocessor annexe
- We carry no .ie names; an EU resident may register .eu instead, and .com applies no eligibility test at all
At Checkout
Which payments go through, and which do not
Where our supported methods differ from your country's habits — flagged up front, not discovered at payment time.
What we accept
Credit and debit cards from Visa, Mastercard and American Express, issued in Ireland or any other country, so long as the card is cleared for international payments. Stripe handles the charge itself, which keeps card numbers off our servers entirely.
Not supported yet
Cards issued in Ireland clear at our checkout with no trouble. The one gap is PayPal: plenty of buyers here reach for it first, and it remains something we cannot accept.

Asked and Answered
What customers in Ireland want to know
Does ordering work from Ireland?
Absolutely. Visa, Mastercard and American Express cards issued in Ireland are all accepted, and provisioning fires automatically the second payment clears — no manual approval step, no need to be anywhere near the UK. Prices display in EUR so you can judge the cost; the actual charge reaches your card in USD.
Which payment methods are common in Ireland, and do you accept them?
Here is the honest version rather than the sales one. Cards issued in Ireland clear at our checkout with no trouble. The one gap is PayPal: plenty of buyers here reach for it first, and it remains something we cannot accept. The one method that always works is a card enabled for international payments. Better to know that now than after an hour spent comparing plans.
How fast will pages load for visitors in Ireland?
Our hardware runs in London, roughly 5–15 ms away. Nothing you could call a wait. Readers sitting in Britain or Ireland will not find hosting that lands nearer than this. For a first-time visitor pulling a cached page, the gap barely registers — an edge node near them can serve it. Where distance does show up is logged-in activity: the WordPress dashboard, a checkout, anything uncacheable, because each of those actions makes the full London round trip. Our infrastructure page breaks down what a CDN speeds up and what it cannot touch.
Will tax be added to an order from Ireland?
Orders placed inside the EU can attract VAT. When they do, we calculate the amount and show it at checkout before any money moves, and no further charge turns up later. Buying as a VAT-registered business? Enter your number and the reverse charge handles the rest.
Do I need a UK address to hold an account?
No. The company running things is Canadian — Azaanex Inc., federally incorporated in Canada under corporation number 1766541-5, verifiable on the public Corporations Canada register — yet buying hosting involves no residency check and no business-registration check. An order from Ireland processes exactly like one from London.
What happens if the plan doesn't suit me?
Change your mind within 30 days on a hosting plan, or within 7 days on a reseller plan. That is long enough to put a real site up and judge it against your own traffic instead of trusting our figures. Still not convinced? Ask for the money back. Domain registrations are the single exception: the registry bills us the moment a name goes live, so a registration cannot be refunded.

Thirty days is enough to measure it against the audience you actually have. If the figures fall short, claim your money back.
