.ca vs .us - Which one is better?

Whic of the two have performed better in the market?

I think .ca has done well and will do better by far VS .us

most .us domains are all parked pages... .ca domains are mostly developed...

I think .ca has more potential then .us but there are better ccTLD then .ca

I think .us is a sleeping giant...

Don't be so sure about most .ca's being developed. Far too many of the very best .ca's are owned by the same four or five people and are almost all parked.

Where dot ca passes .us though is in usage by major corporations - both large and small.

With that said - in the past two days I've seen two different US trucking companies using .us domains on their trucks. So maybe they are finally starting to pick up on their own cctld - after all there are only so many .com domains to go around for a nation of 300 + million people.

.ca by far is better. You can say what you will about .us be the fact is most americans don't identify with .us they identify with .com .us is like a collection extention if anything for corporations who like to cover all extensions sure you may have seen x company use .us but I would be willing to bet they own the .com too. so they're free to promote their business on their .us extension.

.ca is much more excepted in canada, companies are embracing it. Sure it's true alot of generic .ca's are owned by certain individuals but you know what I bet they're getting offers weekly but are waiting for the offers to hit higher figures.

US is no sleeping giant it's a failure. With a couple of noticable sales every few months. .ca is the beast roaring ccTLD 2008 and will be the clear winner.

The only thing that needs to happen for .ca to really explode is to drop the restrictions and let the rest of the world get a taste for our north american friends.

I think .ca has more potential then .us but there are better ccTLD then .ca

It's not that there's better, it's that the other ccTLD are open to all. So only a handful of canadian domainers are cashing in silently and believe me they are. If you're canadian and you can grab some nice LL/LLL or generic domain either hand reg or tbr do so. It will be a good investment.

Just wanted to quote for future reference.

Also, I think there is no doubt that .ca is further along than .us...I can see .us really taking off down the road though. Never underestimate a good marketing scheme on Americans.
