.CA domain name - Canada

.CA is the country code domain extension (ccTLD) for Canada. It's a hugely popular domain in Canada as residents realise the advantages of using a .CA domain name when targeting a Canadian audience. Canada boasts a high standard of living with impressive growth in manufacturing, mining, and the service sectors; along with a rapidly expanding petroleum sector. Having previously been a rural economy it's now mainly industrial and urban. The .CA ccTLD is operated by the Canadian registry CIRA and can be registered by anyone that meets the registry's local presence requirement. A .CA domain name can be registered for a minimum one year period.
