Can anyone recommend a good registrar for .ca domain names? I already know of domainsatcost, but I'm looking to see who else is out there.

Thanks
Mike

Looks like DomainsAtCost might be to the one to use. They're definitely the cheapest.

Thanks for the links.

Can people outside of canada register .ca domains?

You have to qualify as having a legal presense in Canada.

Citizen, resident, partnership, corporate or trademark holder.

There is a long list of actual requirements at the CIRA website.

CIRA is selling the .ca 15$ CAN so domainsatcost with 19$ CAN is the cheapest :cool:

Their only drawback is 6-9 days response time via email questions. That seems pretty long, but not, I suppose, if you don't need their support.

Let us know how long their domain processing takes. I'm curious given their long response times for inquiry emails.

-=sorry for my bad english=-

I registred the domain yesterday at 18h00 and when my host did the necessary change to host the new domain, it was already live. (~14h00)
:)

Everything worked smoothly, all the processes were automatic, the accreditation to the CIRA terms and everything so ... i'm pretty happy :cool:

btw, the domain is

Well DomainsAtCost might be cheap, but their customer service isn't convincing me to buy through them. I sent off some questions yesterday and I've had no reply yet. Ok, so I'm impatient and expecting miracles!!! :P

I didn't had to contact them at the moment but I also don't know why I would need their support...

But if your searching a company with fast support, you might go somewhere else as ur saying but for me, price was the argument :)
