Why do I need a .CA domain name?
The benefits of a .ca domain
What is .CA?
.CA is a globally recognized and trusted domain extension that identifies your connection to Canada.
Why choose a .CA?
-
.CA is Canada’s Internet identity, reserved for Canadians, recognized and trusted worldwide.
-
Customers will have a short .CA name that says they’re Canadian, not a long .com name that says they’re one of almost 70 million organizations that most Canadians view as American!
-
Canadian customers want to buy from Canadian companies.
-
.CA domain names are trusted because they are kept safe and secure in an independent national registry.
Who manages .CA?
The Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) manages the .CA domain space on behalf of all Canadians.
CIRA’s responsibilities include:
-
Being a thought-leader in the Internet space and representing the Canadian community
-
Managing security issues and the Domain Name System and ensuring 100% availability
-
Maintaining a social mandate to establish a public trust and engage in public interest objectives
-
Ensuring that CIRA members have a voice in Internet policy
