How it Works

If you are a home-user or own a small company your current URL most likely looks like: http://www.yourinternetserviceprovider/users/homepages/~user/. This is difficult to remember and does not look professional.

We provide an attractive and professional URL, supported by discrete advertising, that you may retain FREE indefinitely

You will keep your current service provider and current URL as the Target-URL.
If your site address is something like: http://www.yourinternetserviceprovider/users/homepages/~mycompany/ we would give you the URL http://mycompany.pro.ie or http://myname.pro.ie

If you prefer, you can put www. in front of your subdomain.
(for example www.mycompany.pro.ie)

You can choose any name you like as your sub domain name. You may also have multiple sub domain names for different sections of your site and you will still be able to use the existing URL.

What are the advantages?

This is an Irish site
.ie domains show that a site is irish based. So having a pro.ie sub domain says "we are Irish", but does not cost €400-€500 per year for .ie registration and hosting fees.

URL for LIFE
You can keep your URL indefinately, it is your own property, even if you change from one service-provider to another or if your Target URL changes.

Easy to change
Your personal password allows you to change your Target URL or other information related to your account whenever you wish. Your pro.ie subdomain will remain the same even if you change your ISP. Your previous visitors will still be able to find you at the same address, so you won't lose anybody if you change to another ISP.

Easy to remember
Big companies choose short domain names. The most important thing on the web is that people know how to find you, especially when you are promoting your site in advertisementsYour pro.ie URL will also look better on your business cards and stationery. It will certainly help your customers remember your website.

Exclusivity
Many people don't own a domain name. Their web address depends on the ISP or free-webspace-provider they are with, for example their URL could be http://members.ISP.com/~username. Your pro.ie subdomain will be your choice.

No charges
Although this service is completely free, Protocol require that a small pop-up window advertisment appear as your site loads.
