We have been receiving a lot of requests for .eu renewals recently where they have gone past their expiry date.
Unlike other TLDs eg. .COM, .IE etc, .EU domain names need to be renewed before they lapse or retrieving them will cost an additional €30, along with the standard renewal fee. This fee has been added by the overall registrar of the .EU TLD and in turn Novara passes this fee directly to you, the customer. Please note that Novara has no control over this charge and that we are not adding further charges to cover our administration costs.
To avoid paying this additional fee, please be sure to renew you .EU domains before their expiry date.
If you have any queries on this, please contact our customer care team at info@novara.ie

We are pleased to announce today that Novara has been acquired by Digiweb.
The full press release is below:
Digiweb, one of Ireland’s leading providers of broadband, web hosting and telecoms, today announced the acquisition of established webhosting veteran Novara.
Award winning web hoster and domain registrar Novara operate under the trade names host.ie and register.ie and add over eight years of intensive industry experience in the Irish webhosting market to Digiweb’s existing specialist hosting team and datacentre services.
“Our drive to bring better services and value to the Irish hosting market has been further strengthened by the acquisition of Novara. We’re absolutely thrilled to welcome Novara’s experienced and knowledgeable team to Digiweb,” said Dan King, Hosting and Managed Infrastructure Manager with Digiweb, “and look forward to supporting existing Novara customers with the same expert team and top service they already enjoy, and offering them now a single solution provider for their hosting, datacentre, broadband and telecoms needs.”
The Irish hosting industry has been fragmented for some time and this represents the first major acquisition and consolidation in the Irish market in 10 years. Digiweb’s re-entry into the hosting market in 2006 has seen them capture significant market share and high profile customers, hosted from their custom-built datacentre in Blanchardstown.
“Novara customers and staff will benefit hugely from Digiweb’s proven commitment to the Irish hosting industry,” said Eoin Costello, Founder and Managing Director of Novara. “Digiweb’s determination to become the number one provider in the Irish hosting market, there being a wholly owned Irish business with strong customer service and business growth as a focus, made them the obvious choice as the best long term home to our customers. We know that they will be well looked after.”

From March 26th a brand new domain extension, .asia will become available for people to register on a first come first served basis.
The .ASIA domain is aimed at companies doing business in any part of Asia, similar to how the .eu name covers Europe. This is the advantage over having an Asian country specific name such as Chinas .CN.
We will be making .ASIA names available to register on our site as soon as we can so if you regularly do business in Asia or wish to extend your brand there, don’t miss out on this great opportunity.

Some 51,000sq metres in Grange Castle Business Park in Dublin will soon be home to Microsoft’s new European data centre that will serve the entire EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) region. This means that tens of thousands of servers located in Ireland will provide Windows users with information and services like Windows Live as well as store actual data for Microsoft’s online services businesses including MSN.
During the construction phase alone Microsoft will be investing US$500m in the data centre’s infrastructure, after which state-of-the-art server technology will be installed. This is expected to be completed by summer 2009.
