Domain Names Canada

Whatever you want to do online with your new website, if it’s happening in Canada, you’ll want to use a .ca domain. That’s because while you could drape your entire online presence in cliches about the great white north (like that one!), using a .ca domain extension is a simple sign to any visitors, customers or search engines that your website is for and by Canadians and Canadian businesses.

To discover the availability of a .ca domain, just search for the domain you want in the search bar.

Why Register a .ca Domain Name?

We don’t know why you’re building a website. Maybe you’ve got a killer idea, want to take your real-world shop online, or just like taking photos of moose (mooses, meese?) Whichever it is, if you are Canadian, or you want to talk to the Canadian market, then the .ca domain is for you. And because you need to meet certain Canadian presence requirements for .ca registration (which we cover in the FAQs) it serves as a sign that your .ca website can be trusted. And, of course, that it’s been made by people with an express interest in Canada.

This is great, as across the world, locals prefer to use websites that they feel have been made with them in mind. I know, not exactly shocking, but when it comes to making the most of an online venture, you don’t want to leave obvious advantages on the table. And your visitors’ peace of mind can be your success.

As an added bonus, since 2015, .ca has built in support for French language characters.

FAQs for .ca

  • What is the domain of Canada?

    .ca is the official Canadian domain name. While .ca was launched in 1988, in the late 90s it was decided that it should be managed by an independent body. So, in 1998, the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) was created, and took over management of the .ca domain in 2000.

    CIRA set the rules that certified registrars must operate under to sell the .ca domain extension on to the public.
