The .IE is a managed ccTLD and it requires some documentation to prove 
that the prospective registrant is entitled to register the domain name. 
IEDR has relaxed the registration rules in the last few years. Many of 
the SMEs are what is known as sole traders. These are indivudals trading 
in their own name or with a registered business name. The equivalent US 
version would be the "doing business as/DBA). A registered business name 
is registered through the Companies Registrations Office (www.cro.ie) 
and the registry can look up the number of the registered business name 
quite quickly. The company number registration number (for Irish 
companies) can also be checked on the CRO website. The site also 
explains the other categories. The .IE WHOIS is a thin WHOIS. The 
registration process has come a long way in the last twenty years and 
most new registrations in the Irish market would be in .IE rather than 
the gTLDs. The only competing new gTLD is the .IRISH and that's only 
around 3K registrations compared to the 300K .IE registrations. The 
Irish market is quite unusual in that there's a considerable overlap 
with the Northern Irish and UK markets. The biggest non-Irish ccTLD in 
the Irish hosting market is actually .UK with about 33K .UK domain names 
on Irish market hosters.
