.CA Registration Fee will be CAN$8.50 soon

[Anthony Ng]

Once again, CIRA is lowering .CA registration fee; this time to CAN$8.50 (effective July 2005). Yes, you hear it correct, 8.50 Canadian dollars! Now, this is getting more attractive.

I've always thought .ca had great potential. At that price level I would be investing heavily in good words/terms if I met the Nexus requirements (which unfortunately I don't).

One idea to meet the nexus requirements for .ca is to set up a Canadian holding company and hold the .ca domains in it. I believe that one can incorporate in the Yukon Territory without having any directors resident there.

very good news for all us Canucks!

CIRA has one of the most ridiculous transfer systems known to man kind, but .ca names are due for a large jump in value and lowering the registration fee helps a lot

Dot ca is worthless.

If you are not Canadian, stay away.
If you are Canadian, still stay away :-D

I can't even stay in Saskatoon for October. The most I can bear is perhaps the light snow in Calgary during August.

The press release refers to the fees that Cira will charge registrars (the companies where we can register names). That doesn't mean that we are going to see extremely cheap prices. Right now Cira charges 10$ CND
, and the lowest fee for registration is DOmainsAtCost.ca 12.95$CND.
(DomainsAtCsot.ca belongs to Pool.com)
So, I think we might see only one dollar discount soon. Still , not cheap

FYI: Domainsatcost.ca (at CAN$12.95) is NOT the cheapest .ca registrar around; at least 2 other registrars charge less.

Sweet, thats cheaper than .com !

BareMetal has lowered their fee for new registrations to $12.99 (Canadian, of course) starting June (and renewals and transfers starting July). But I'm more interested to see who will first hit below the $10 mark (like $9.99).

Great news!

I love .ca domains - still some good ones
available, you see .ca domains everywhere in
Canadian advertising now, and Canada has
a high per capita internet population.

I agree they are due for more recognition,
most of the best names are in only a few hands.
When you search the best terms you keep seeing
the same owners over and over again.

The only downside is our small population
relative to say the US, UK, or Germany.

.COM still or the new .EU

Nice to see,I will be purchasing a few .ca's
