The <Mov.ie Service> is intended to be a global access point for all things
movie related. It is run by the Mov.ie team who can be contacted at the
email address at the end of this page.
How it works
We are hoping to interest movie producers in the concept
of a single addressing scheme for their movies. If
you know the movie title or part of the title then
you should be able to go straight to the production
house's web page for that movie.
For example, with the film "The Impire Strikes
Back" one would type the address:
theimpirestrikesback.mov.ie
(Modern browsers no longer require the "http://".)
but the service also works with partial names as
long as they are unique. For instance:
impire.mov.ie
This would instantly take you to the home page for
this excellent film, not only on your PC but also
from your WAP phone.
If the partial name matches more than one movie
then you are presented with a list of the available
matches and can click on from there. We also
provide a more conventional search form on our home
page: mov.ie
Where we were without Mov.ie
Before this service, movie producers had to
allocate their names within one of the available
".com", ".net",
".info" etc. top level domains. Quite
often such names were already taken and so the
movie web site was often addressed from within the
production house's web site. The movie goer would
always have problems remembering the address from
any advertising they saw or heard and would
certainly never have been able to guess the film's
address - this is where Mov.ie stepped in.
We provide a simple and obvious addressing service.
How will people learn of the service?
Initially through the Producer's advertising and
then through word of mouth. With time, though,
people will naturally adopt the use of the Mov.ie
domain to access information about their favourite
films.
As a movie producer how do I sign up?
Initially, the system offers two levels of service.
The "Catalogue Service" is an information
only service where details of the movie are held in
the Mov.ie database and displayed by our server
when requested. The "Redirector Service"
will seamlessly link the ".mov.ie"
address to the producers web site for the film.
We at Mov.ie require evidence that you have full
rights to use the name that you are registering.
Only the full valid name (as appears on the
released title) will be accepted for registration.
If you wish to sign up for either service then
please contact us at:

Just the beginning
This is just the start of our service. We at Mov.ie
have many ideas about how we want to see the
service expand. We hope to provide an easy to use,
factual and fun service for the public funded by
the movie producers and to the benifit of the
movies that we all enjoy. If you have any
suggestions for the future or would just like to
say hello, please email us at the address:
TheStaff@Mov.ie
And Lastly
Thank you for your interest in the service. Please
use it and let us know what you think.
