    You might be getting confused with a certain Adverts.ie mod.

    If i were you i wouldnt buy it today, wait for a week or until you are 100% certain and then spend the extra 10 euro for the first year.
    only pick your domain name once :)

    Good point (and our current offer is 14.99 on .ie 1 year registrations outside the St Patrick's Day silliness :) )

    When you purchase a domain with Blacknight can you control the DNS records without having to contact Blacknight ?

    ie can I change the MX and A records myself ?

    I made use of this offer yesterday and tried to register one .ie-domain. Registration process itself was pretty quick and straightforward. I needed to supply an official letter with my VAT-number to support my claim - which could easily be done through the document upload page and with clear instructions given.
    Strangely IEDR then said they cannot verify the supplied number and that additional proof would be necessary. After a short chat with Haley from the Blacknight helpdesk she had sorted it out in no time, although it wasn't even their fault. Domain went through now and I'm happy. Nice to do business with Blacknight, thanks!

    As for the DNS records: Yes, the MX and A records can be changed via the interface. Screenshot attached.

    You'll want
    Login
    Click All Domains on the top
    Click the domain in question
    Click DNS
    Click DNS Records and enter them there :)

    normally if I've any issues I just fire on a quick email and its generally sorted lively enough :)
