Are you allowed lease .ie domains?

Does anyone know if this is "allowed" by the IEDR?

Cheers

Don't you effectively lease it every year from the IEDR!

Yeah, but say I own deadlydomain.ie and I know I can lease it for a few hundred per month...

Aah, you lease it out to someone else? I don't know!

Legally, it could be on very shaky ground. I think that .ie domains are based on a licence type arrangement (I'd have to reread the legislation/regs) so you would be sub-licencing. While this actually happens, there is a risk that if you bring .ie into disrepute, then the domain could, theoretically, be revoked. You might also be acting as a proxy for someone not entitled to a .ie domain and that could also be grounds for revoking the domain.

BTW it is ComReg that is nominally in charge of .ie policy now.

What jmcc said ...

If you do it and nobody finds out... well em .. nobody finds out ...

If it's anyway publicised they'd be entitled to pull the domain, as you'd be in breach of the registration rules

Are you allowed lease .ie domains?
