Extensions - .ca Domains

Namecheap.com is Your Place for Cheap .ca Domain Names

This domain extension is specifically for our Canadian customers. CA is the top country code for Canada. 

Why You Need a .ca Domain

The .ca domain is perfect for Canadian organizations that want to increase their visibility. In fact, many Canadian businesses will protect their brand and expand their reach by purchasing both a .ca and a .com domain.
The fact that the .ca domain is used by the Canadian government adds to the domain's credibility. When you buy a .ca domain your site visitors will know immediately that you're based in Canada. That exclusivity can help you speak directly to your Canadian customers and earn you special consideration that a .com or .biz address can't.

Who Can Buy a .ca Domain?

.Ca is a country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Canada. It is open to individuals, organizations and companies, but it can only be purchased by Canadian citizens, businesses, organizations, non-profits, and community groups. These organizations must be located in Canada in order to qualify for the .ca domain.
This TLD is managed by CIRA, the Canadian Internet Registration Authority. Just search for your desired domain name. If it's available and you meet the requirements set forth by CIRA, you'll be able to continue the order process and complete your Canadian domain name registration. 
Best of all, when you choose Namecheap.com you get the features listed below included for FREE with your cheap .ca domain registration - all backed by our unbeatable customer service and support.

    When running your business online, you may want to let an employee take care of certain domain features (like DNS,host record configurations).
