.CA Domains Going Fast!
Netfirms, Inc. , Canada’s leading web hosting provider and one of the fastest growing .CA domain registrars, recently announced that the best time to acquire the .CA extension is now. With the US economy not operating up to par as of late and the Canadian dollar performing at historic highs against the US dollar, what better time to invest in the .CA?Various factors make the .CA extension desirable for Canadian residents. The overall availability and affordability of the .CA Top Level Domain (TLD) are among the top desirability factors. With only about one million .CA domains registered to date, the relatively low price of $9.95 a year for registration costs and affordable website hosting costs, more and more people are hopping aboard the .CA train.
The .CA also has quite the competitive advantage for any business hoping to retain and expand their Canadian clientele. If you find yourself traveling through the country, you’re bound to see countless advertisements on highway billboards boasting a .CA domain. Presently, when acquiring a generic one word .COM, it has the potential of costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. It makes the most economical sense for Canadian companies hoping to stay competitive to brand their businesses around the .CA.
Just like any other mainstream country code TLD, the .CA can do a lot for national morale and the country’s sense of identity as well. Nowadays, the likelihood of interacting with a business or individual in Canada electing to use the .COM over the .CA is slim to none. Small businesses can retain their client base by priding themselves in using the .CA while growing their web presence. There?s also a trust element involved. Canadian citizens are less prone to fear working with a multinational using the .CA TLD and are more inclined to buy from them, knowing full-well that the business is most likely located in Canada.
