Register .ca domain names

.ca is Canada’s country-code top-level domain (ccTLD), managed by the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA). So, this domain extension is location-specific, and only Canada-based individuals or organizations can register .ca domains.

.ca domain registrations are only available for individuals or organizations located in Canada. They have to meet the Canadian Presence Requirements to be eligible to register this domain name extension.

Some of the categories that classify eligible .ca domain name registrants include:

A .ca domain name is a better option for Canadian businesses. .ca TLD tells potential shoppers and search engines that your website is Canadian-owned, helping you reach the local community effectively. It also has more domains available than .com.

Meanwhile, the .com domain will be great if you plan to target an international audience or have no physical presence in Canada, as this extension is reserved for Canadian businesses and individuals.

Do you serve the Canadian and international markets? Registering both the .com and .ca is possible – if the domain is available – and you can easily redirect one to the other.

Yes, .ca domain names are secure and trusted by the Canadian internet community.

They’re one of the least abused extensions, with a “badness” score of 0.02, indicating that people rarely use Canadian domains to send spam or host malware. For comparison, the score for .com is 0.55 and .surf is 5.70. This means that most .ca websites are considered trustworthy and reliable.
