I always applaud inventive and innovative marketing techniques. I think they're great.

But when the marketing department of a multinational starts inventing domain names you have to wonder what they're at!

Chris from Sensorpro spotted a Dell advert publicising dell.co.ie I suspect someone got Ireland and the UK confused, as we don't have a co.ie extension!

In fact, if you try to get either you will see:

% Error - Two letter domain are not permitted by IEDR Registration Policies.
% Please read: http://www.iedr.ie/NamingPolicy.php#validity

And here's the banner image (click to enlarge) :

Mmm... maybe now Eurodns will register it and start a new "Irish Registry" of their own :D

Clearly they want to keep their hidden data centre hidden a bit longer.

If two letter IE domains were possible they wouldn't be the only ones looking for one :)
