What is a .ca domain?
The .ca domain is Canada's country-code extension, created in 1987 and managed since 2000 by CIRA, the not-for-profit Canadian Internet Registration Authority. It is one of the most trusted country codes in the world: many Canadians prefer it to .com because it signals a local business with Canadian pricing and domestic shipping.
Unlike extensions open to anyone, .ca is reserved for those with a genuine connection to Canada under CIRA's Canadian Presence Requirements. The extension also supports French accented characters (é, è, à, ç), which is useful for Québec businesses and bilingual brands.
.ca is the country code extension of Canada.

Registration rules for .ca
- Canadian Presence Requirements (CPR): eligible registrants include Canadian citizens and permanent residents, companies and organisations formed in Canada, and other categories defined by CIRA.
- The owner of a trademark registered with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office can register the domain matching that exact mark, even without other Canadian presence.
- The registrant declares an eligibility category and accepts CIRA's registrant agreement; non-compliant names can be cancelled.
- Names may include French accented characters, and CIRA manages accented and unaccented variants as a bundle tied to the same registrant.
Tips for choosing a .ca name
- Check which CPR category applies to you first; a company with no Canadian entity or trademark is not eligible.
- If you sell in Québec, consider the French accented version of your name.
- Keep registrant details current, as CIRA may ask for proof of eligibility.
- Pair .ca with a site built for Canadian buyers: spelling, provincial taxes and shipping options.

Questions about .ca domains
Can a non-Canadian company register a .ca domain?
Only if it fits one of the Canadian Presence Requirements categories. The most practical route for a foreign company is owning a trademark registered in Canada, which allows registering the domain matching that mark. Otherwise you need an entity incorporated in Canada.
What are the Canadian Presence Requirements?
They are CIRA's rules defining who may hold a .ca domain. They cover citizens, permanent residents, Canadian companies, organisations, institutions and Canadian trademark owners, among other specific categories. The registrant declares a category at registration and must be able to prove it.
Are my details public in the .ca WHOIS?
CIRA runs its own privacy policy, and for individuals personal details are not shown publicly by default. Rules for businesses can differ. The privacy information shown on this page reflects what is actually available for this extension.
Why choose .ca over .com?
Canadians associate .ca with local businesses, which builds trust at checkout. Search engines treat .ca as a geographic signal for Canada. If you already own the .com, adding the .ca protects your brand in the Canadian market.
How much does a .ca domain cost?
Registering a .ca domain costs €13.53 for the first year and €20.12 for each renewal, VAT excluded, paid from your account credit. There is no setup fee and DNS hosting is included.
For how long can I register a .ca domain?
You can register a .ca domain for 1 to 10 years at once. After that it renews automatically from your credit a month before expiry, and you get an email if your credit is short.
Can I transfer my .ca domain to cloudlinux.ro?
Yes. Transferring a .ca domain costs €20.12 and normally adds a year to its expiry. Unlock the domain at your current registrar, get the transfer code and start the transfer from the Domains section of your console.
Can I host a website on my .ca domain with you?
Yes. Launch a cloud server billed by the hour, pick a one-click app such as WordPress, Ghost or Nextcloud, and point your .ca domain to it from the DNS editor. The domain also works with any server you run elsewhere.
