Vancouver voted most livable city in the world, Toronto #5. With coverage like this, the world of dot ca's will have no where to go but up. Also with the Olympics coming to Van/Whistler in 2010 we will be front and centre in world news.
Here is the link to the press release

What are most of you doing with your .ca registrations or tbr grabs? Parking mostly?

I'm developing as fast as I can - even if it's just a five page website to start. Some from the past few weeks tbr sessions you might recognize:
www.serialkillers.ca
www.downtowneastside.ca
www.registryrepair.ca

So many I get outbid for just end up parked. Makes me mad because I know they will make so much more with anything but a parked page!

Since these domain names aren't my primary source of income ...
and time for development isn't abundant ...

out of the last 1/2 dozen purchases I have developed a couple, sold a couple and parked a couple.

The parked ones are .ca typo's that really wouldn't justify development but are actually more than earning there keep being parked. Sometimes parking just makes more sense.

What are your hosting costs? Do you pay a monthly fee for each site, or do you pay a flat fee to host unlimited sites? I use a homestead sitebuilder which allows me to build unlimited sites/pages, for a flat annual fee of about $100. The only thing is I have to point my domains to the pages, it costs extra for each domain to be linked to each site. Just wondering what other options are out there.

At that cost per year you can get good shared hosting if all you want to run is unlimited domains and smaller websites.

And remember - if you have lots of websites put them on more than one server! That way if anything happens to one, you are still making money!

re: homebusiness dot ca - Thanks for the comments - I will think about putting the price in the journal but will check with the seller first.

**spidergoat** · 08-28-2007, 05:18 AM

recently acquired promo dot ca.

**sudesh** · 08-29-2007, 04:17 PM

Anyone got any domains today?? I saw some nice ones, but too highly bid. Should be good for deep pocketed individuals.

We should all know in about an hour or so. But there were again this week some bids that made little sense to me. But it's other people's money and they can spend it how they want!

My TBR Names Today...

RecyclingCentre
CreditDevelopment
DomainNameserver
DomainNameservers

**whitebark** · 08-29-2007, 07:03 PM

Nice catches zoobar - three of the four were on my list. All I got was the one from the bottom of my list - medical assistant.

Sibername did well for themselves today.

With extra cash in hand from not getting much via the tbr I fresh regged:
fatgirl.ca
sexcartoon.ca
politicalparty.ca - will be website by tomorrow

With .ca's total registration at nearly 900,000 it's getting pretty hard to find anything that has high ovt, or potential for type-in traffic.

GDay Fellow DNFers and Canuckers!

I know I've posted the following .ca name before, but I thought I would give an update to my progress and 'showcase' the power and success of the .ca extension.

After catching Scenery.ca on drop, adding a script to host media, adding some media and keywords - it is now #1 in Google for the keyword 'scenery'

http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=scenery&meta=

One minute the site was low-key (it still shows as a PR1 site) when by chance I typed 'scenery' into Google (I was trying to type 'scenery.ca') - only to my surprise, see Scenery.ca @ the top! ...and to be honest, not exactly sure why other than to assume its because of the amount of content (100s of pics n vids w/ sparring descriptions added; which I continue to add too).

I still consider myself very much (forever) a Newbie and thought others may have similar experiences they could share, as it appears .ca is on the up-and-up in the world. I love reading this thread and hearing about how .ca continues to grow.

Best success in all your endeavours!

Viva .ca!!
