This means that it is reserved for people and organizations established in Canada, with some exceptions.<\/p><p>Unlike the .US domain, which is rarely used by American Businesses, Canadian businesses have adopted the .CA domain with open arms.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>Having a .CA domain will actually help your rankings in Google Canada, because having a country code specific domain acts as a trust and relevancy signal that your site is more relevant to local searchers.<\/p><p>So, should you register a .CA domain? This article will help you decide.<\/p><h2>What Is .CA? When Did It Launch?<\/h2><p>.CA is a ccTLD (country code top-level domain) that has been reserved for persons, organizations and government from Canada.\u00a0<\/p><p>Similarly to .US, .CA has been available since 1987, in the very early days of the Internet.\u00a0<\/p><h2>Who Administers the .CA Domain?<\/h2><p>Currently, the .CA is administered by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cira.ca\/\">Canadian Internet Administration Authority<\/a> (CIRA). CIRA is a non-profit Canadian corporation which was assigned the administration on 1st of December, 2000.\u00a0<\/p><p>While CIRA are responsible for the .CA domain, they don\u2019t directly offer registration services. For that, you\u2019ll need to go to a domain company, like us, to <a href=\"https:\/\/my.domainnamesanity.com\/cart.php?a=add&amp;domain=register\">find and register your .CA domain<\/a>.<\/p><h2>Why Should You Register an .CA Domain? What Is It Used For?<\/h2><p>If you are a local Canadian business that targets Canadian customers, obtaining a .CA domain might prove advantageous and bring more traffic.\u00a0<\/p><p>In contrast to a generic .COM, a .CA will set you apart immediately upon first glance over your URL. People will instantly recognize that you are from Canada, since non-Canadian businesses generally cannot reserve this domain for their websites.<\/p><p>This will also help visitors. If they are trying to reach something in their country, they will immediately recognize that your .CA website is not the place to browse through.<\/p><p>Registering a .CA domain is not particularly expensive. Currently, the registration price with Domain Name Sanity is US$12.95 per year (plus taxes), and annual renewal is US$19.95 per year (plus taxes).<\/p><h2>How Popular Is the .CA gTLD?<\/h2><p>As of August, 2021, there are approximately 3.1 million .CA domains registered.\u00a0<\/p><p>Interestingly, the .CA domain is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cira.ca\/resources\/factbook\/canadas-internet-factbook-2020\">found to be preferred by Canadians when doing business or administrative work online<\/a>. And during the COVID-19 pandemic, the CIRA noticed a strong upward trend of .CA registrations.<\/p><h2>How Do You Get an .CA Domain?<\/h2><p>If you aim at being recognized as a Canadian business, one of the smartest approaches would be to reserve yourself a .CA domain. Fortunately, this is where we at Domain Name Sanity can help, by helping you register one for you. Follow the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/instant-domain-search.php\">link to register your .CA today<\/a>!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-02d9db7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"02d9db7\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e3db840\" data-id=\"e3db840\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-60a6169 article-end elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"60a6169\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-565995e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"565995e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">View Related Articles<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-21bb133 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"21bb133\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-404e6d4 elementor-posts__hover-none elementor-grid-3 elementor-grid-tablet-2 elementor-grid-mobile-1 elementor-posts--thumbnail-top elementor-card-shadow-yes elementor-widget elementor-widget-posts\" data-id=\"404e6d4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;cards_masonry&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;cards_columns&quot;:&quot;3&quot;,&quot;cards_columns_tablet&quot;:&quot;2&quot;,&quot;cards_columns_mobile&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;cards_row_gap&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:35,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"posts.cards\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-posts-container elementor-posts elementor-posts--skin-cards elementor-grid\">\n\t\t\t\t<article class=\"elementor-post elementor-grid-item post-2330 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-domain-names\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post__card\">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-post__thumbnail__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/us-domain\/\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post__thumbnail\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/dot-us-domain-1024x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2332\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/dot-us-domain-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/dot-us-domain-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/dot-us-domain-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/dot-us-domain-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/dot-us-domain.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post__text\">\n\t\t\t\t<h6 class=\"elementor-post__title\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/us-domain\/\" >\n\t\t\t\tAll About the .us Domain Extension\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post__excerpt\">\n\t\t\t<p>If you are looking to approach the US market in a more localized manner, having a .US domain might give you some leverage.
