Do you mean that you can't use a domain name in the name of a limited company?

I am not a company secretary, but as I understand it, you should register xyz123.com as a business name.
And on the website, you should have smbire t/a xyz123.com

There's good information here on EU consumer rights regarding websites: [ecc website - see original post by Hooverfish] - you have to provide your name/address/geographical location etc...
My practical experience is that when we wanted to have certain domain names (such as [irish website]) we had to prove to the domain name provider that we had a legal entitlement to use that name = we had to register the trading name first.
Conclusion: You will have to register the domain name as your trading name.
From a tax perspective, you might wish to register the domain name in your personal name, and "lease" it to an operating company etc If you do that the operating company will also need to register the same trading name.

Do you need to register as a sole trader with the CRO?
I thought Sole traders would simply register with Revenue and that was it.
Sole traders aren't companies, having said that you can set up a company with 1 director, but you are then expected to fulfil all legal requirements that a company has to do.( annual accounts etc) which adds costs.
Registering a website isn't a CRO job.
I'd simply register as a sole trader with revenue register your website and drive on, If you need to set up a company in the future simply use the website name without the .com, .ie or whatever
Its either a company ie Ltd, Clg, Dac or its not, the CRO only deal with companies not sole traders as they aren't companies.If you don't operate under your own name as a sole trader you need to register a business name with CRO.
The question is if this business name must be the same as the website address for a web based business.
I don't want to register a company and have already registered the website address I intend to use.
I have my reasons why I would want to register a different business name and possibly future company instead of the website address. I just need to know if there is any reason why I can't do so. I still haven't received a straight answer about this point from the CRO.
Its either a company ie Ltd, Clg, Dac or its not, the CRO only deal with companies not sole traders as they aren't companies.
Have you registered with Core.ie ? From memory there is a service there regarding business names but I'm honestly confused what you are trying to do.
