Buying A Web Domain? - 2001 ZTS - 10-08-2005

What's the cheapest way and how much?

I have a couple .ca domains in mind.

from what i remember when i registered my .ca domain a a year or 2 ago ... your very limited as .ca's have restrictions as to who can register and who can sell them. So you might not be able to find them as cheap as you could a .com name.

I think i paid like 30-35$/yr for mine

Sorry, I've declared a Jihad against Yahoo. I want a domain or two not a page.

.com's are only like 6-8$ from godaddy.com .. its the .ca's that are expensive

Its not limited to a "WEB" domain, you can use it for e-mail, gopher, telnet, vnc, and much more. I signed with Doteasy. Back in the day, there were WAY more limitations to .CA domains, meaning you could not easily get a "ROOT" ie: yourdomain.ca it instead had to be yourdomain.on.ca or xx.whateverprovince.ca thank god, cus ofoc.on.ca would be a shitty domain name.

.ca domains are $40 for 2 years if the one you seek is available.

But as been said already, the .com's are way cheaper.

Waaay back in the day, you had to be federally incorporated (or be provincially incorporated in two or more provinces) to get a .ca domain. If you were only provincially incorporated you could get an on.ca one.

Now its just money. :)
