.CA Domains

Millions of people and businesses trust .CA to brand themselves as Canadian online. Whether you're a small business, an aspiring entrepreneur, a local charity, or just a person with a great idea, here's why you should choose .CA for your domain name.

“A .CA domain identifies us with being proudly Canadian without us even having to say it. .CA has kind of an iconic quality to it. It’s kind of like throwing the maple leaf on your backpack.”
Jordan Bamforth, Creative Director, Beau's All Natural Brewing Co.

What can you do with a .CA?

A .CA domain name is a great place to bring your ideas to life online. The most obvious use for a .CA domain is to build and host a website, which can be done quickly and easily by registering it with a CIRA certified Registrar. If you're not quite ready to build a website, there are several other things you can do with your domain, such as creating your own customized .CA email address (i.e. yournamehere@ yourdomainhere.ca).
