Canadian Domains (.ca)

Canadian domains are administered through a non-profit organization called CIRA, the Canadian Internet Registration Authority.  They oversee the dot-ca (.ca) country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) as a service to all of Canada.  They protect names relating to government bodies, cities and municipalities, and they also help with things like WHOIS privacy and ownership disputes.

Pricing for .ca domains:

• New registrations must be registered for 2 years at the minimum
• Registrations and renewals for 1-4 years - $50 per year
• Registrations and renewals for 5-10 years - $40 per year

Commercial Domains (.com, .net, .biz, etc) 

These domains are generally available anywhere in the world, with less restrictions and governance than country-code top-level domains.  Many businesses operating out of Canada choose to register theircompany.com and .ca, both to draw as many hits as possible and to prevent anyone else from registering the domain to use in a deceptive or misleading fashion.  The primary domains of this type are:  com, net, org, info, biz, and coop

Pricing for commercial domains:

• New registrations can be any number of years between 1 and 10 inclusive
• Registrations and renewals for 1-4 years - $30 per year
• Registrations and renewals for 5-10 years - $25 per year

Other Domains 

If you're interested in registering something with a TLD (top-level domain) not listed above, or if you're unable to determine the availability of a particular domain, please email us your inquires at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

The Internet Centre strongly recommends that the administrative mailbox for all domains be set to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .  This can help to reduce the amount of spam the customers recieve, reduce the chance of deceptive emails affecting the domain, and eliminate the chance that access to the administrative mailbox is lost due to company staffing changes, technical problems, etc.
