Web hosting for Ireland
What actually matters if you are buying from Ireland: which local domains we can register, what your card is charged, how fast our servers are from where you are, the tax position, and the payment methods we cannot yet take.
The Six Things That Differ
Buying from Ireland, specifically
Not a template with your country's name dropped in — these are the details that genuinely change depending on where you are.
Local domains
Your country's extension isn't in our list yet. Being an EU resident, though, you can register a .eu with us instead.
Prices in your currency
Shown in EUR, charged in USD. Your bank converts and may add a fee.
Speed from London
About 5–15 ms round trip. You cannot tell it apart from a server across town.
Support in your hours
GMT/IST — effectively our own working hours. First reply target is under 2 hours, any hour, in English.
Local Domains
What your country's extension costs
Real prices from our price list, not indicative figures.
| Extension | First year |
|---|---|
| .eu | $8.99as long as you're resident in the EU |

Specifically Ireland
What's genuinely different here
Few cities on the planet sit closer to our London servers than Dublin. Around 10 ms, which means an Irish site loads here at roughly the speed it would on Irish hosting. The honest gap: .ie domains are not something we sell yet. Being an EU resident makes you eligible for .eu, which we do sell, and .com is still the pragmatic pick.
Paying Us
Cards work. Here's what doesn't.
The gap between what we accept and how your country actually pays — stated before you reach checkout.
What we take
Credit or debit, we take Visa, Mastercard and American Express, issued in Ireland or anywhere else, provided the card is cleared for international payments. Stripe runs the transaction, which keeps your card numbers off our servers entirely.
What we can't take yet
Cards issued in Ireland go through fine. PayPal we still cannot take, and Irish buyers often want it for a first order.

Common Questions
Buying hosting from Ireland
Can I buy hosting from Ireland?
Yes. We accept Visa, Mastercard and American Express issued in Ireland, and your account is set up automatically once payment goes through — there is no manual approval step and no requirement to be based in the UK. Prices display in EUR so you can judge the cost, and the charge itself reaches your card in USD.
How do most people in Ireland prefer to pay, and can you take it?
Here is the honest answer rather than the flattering one. Cards issued in Ireland go through fine. PayPal we still cannot take, and Irish buyers often want it for a first order. What we can always take is a card enabled for international payments. If that does not work for you, we would rather you knew before spending time choosing a plan.
Will my site be fast enough for visitors in Ireland?
Our servers are in London, roughly 5–15 ms away from you. You cannot tell it apart from a server across town. For most sites the practical answer is that anonymous visitors reading cached pages will not notice the distance, because those pages can be served from an edge location near them. What you will notice is logged-in work — the WordPress admin, checkout, anything uncached — because that travels to London and back on every action. Our infrastructure page sets out exactly what a CDN fixes and what it cannot.
Do I pay tax on this order in Ireland?
VAT may apply to your order, since you are in the EU. Where it does, checkout works the amount out and shows it to you before you pay, rather than bolting it on afterwards. Buying as a VAT-registered business? Enter your VAT number and the reverse charge applies instead.
Must I be living in the UK to host a site with you?
No. We are a UK company — Fairdeal Renovations Limited, registered in England and Wales under number 15026869, which you can verify on the public Companies House register — but there is no residency or business-registration requirement to buy hosting from us. Customers in Ireland order exactly as a UK customer does.
What if it turns out not to suit me?
Every hosting plan comes with 30 days to change your mind. Reseller plans give you 7 days. That window exists so you can push a live site onto the platform and time it against your own visitors, instead of taking our numbers on faith. Doesn't suit you? Claim your money back. Domains are the one thing we can't refund, since the registry bills us the second a name is registered.
Try it from Ireland, risk-free.
Thirty days to measure real speed from your own audience. If the numbers don't work for you, take the refund.
