The domain registry Afilias Inc. has announced it will move its headquarters from Ireland to Horsham. The move is due in part to changes in the US tax code. (Photo courtesy of Google Maps.)

Thanks in part to recent federal tax cuts, Afilias Inc., the world’s second largest domain registry, is moving its headquarters from Dublin to Horsham.

The company’s decision to relocate is also connected to the fact that its two largest customers, the .org registry operator Public Interest Registry and GoDaddy, are based in the United States, writes Alison Burdo at bizjournals.com.

“When things changed from a tax situation in the U.S., that prompted a review of the corporate situation in light of the fact that our biggest customers are here,” Afilias senior vice president Roland LaPlante told The Inquirer.

The new corporate headquarters are at 300 Welsh Road, not far from the intersection of Welsh and Dresher roads in Horsham.
