.ca domains ?

Where can you buy .ca domains?

 

as far as i know, u cannot purchase a .ca domain unless you're a canadian citizen.

 

Godaddy sells them. However pacmannia is right you have to have a Canadian presence to buy them.

 

hmm. tks.

 

I wonder why you have to be a canadian citizen... that's odd. Im lucky I live in Canada...

 

You can. Believe me. We are Canada based ICANN accredited domain name registrar.

 

that is a restriction by .ca registry. several cctlds make such restriction

 

Lots of panel like rediff and other not providing .ca domain. I am in doubt why only canadian can buy .ca domain.

 

you can buy at namecheap.com.... and no, i even bought a .ca name without being a resident over there. (you state you are a resident, but no one cares to check it) you can even tell you live abroad but you are also a Canadian citezn.

 

Here is some useful information on the subject:

Since your reply is the one coming directly from a horse's mouth, I guess people should stop worrying about such citizenship criteria.. while registering for any regional tld!

I think .EU is the only one you can't purchase unless you are an EU resident.

 

I am sorry but people say the same about .us as well!

They ask for Canadian passport.

 

so as not to cause problems, better use of familiar public domain ..... right?

 

You're right, they do, but you can purchase a .US without being a US citizen, or even living in the US.

 

I think you can register almost any restrictive country extention like .ca, .us, etc... until someone rat's you out and you loose the name.

Im glad .ca's are exclusive to Canadians - keeps them in the family...eh!

 

Just like .cn
