.CA Domains Recommended by Netfirms

With nearly one million .CA domains registered to date, Canadian Web hosting provider Netfirms recommends that Canadians secure their .CA domain names in 2008, it announced on Wednesday.

A .CA domain name coupled with a Canadian focused website helps establish a trusted brand that draws more Canadian customers. Registering a .CA domain name is especially important for small businesses targeting Canadian consumers, says Netfirms.

Jason Matheson, product manager for Netfirms stated “Until a few years ago, dot-ca domain names were typically more expensive than .COM. We started offering CIRA certified .CA domains for as low as $9.95 CAD per year - comparable to the industry standard price for a dot com.”

Netfirms provides .CA domain names and business Web hosting for $9.95 per year, which includes a CIRA certified, dot ca domain name, a basic Web page available via the domain name, an email account at the domain with spam filtering, full DNS management through Netfirms control panel and 24 X 7 technical support.
