Domain hacks

The URL "ryana.ir" is a redirect to the budget airline website ryanair.com. It is used as a typing shortcut. Some internet users may mistakenly believe that.ir is the ccTLD for the Republic of Ireland, the home country of Ryanair.
The URL "renmark.ir" is a redirect to the Investor Relations firm Renmark Financial Communications Inc. The.ir in this instance would stand for Investor Relations.
