Why .CA?
.CA makes a domain instantly recognizable as Canadian to internet users around the world. This extension is reserved for Canadians only, so it is an excellent way for a Canadian individual or company to stand out among the mass of .COMs, which are often assumed to be American.
A .CA domain allows a person or company to:
- Identify yourself as Canadian: .CA is Canada’s Internet identity, reserved for Canadians, recognized and trusted worldwide.
- Get the name you want: You’ll have a short dot-ca name that says you’re Canadian, not a long dot-com name that says your’re one of almost 70 million organizations that most Canadians view as American.
- Reach Canadians where they shop: Over 60% of Canadians prefer .ca for online shopping—it’s under Canadian law, with no customs or exchange rates.
- Keep your identity secure: .CA domain names are kept safe and secure in an independent national registry.
