Hate to see Canadian Domain Name Services (CDNS) on there. Really slimy business practices...although it has been a few months since I got an "invoice" from them.

 

[Provider]

I saw a similar list on CIRA website. I emailed to them and asked them about all the registrars absent from the list. Pool.com alone has 100 of them, non of them listed on their site. When I get the answer I will let you all know. I want to know who owns and how many registrars, that's why I want to see the full list, but there is no list like that as far as I know.

I have no problem editing the title of this thread to Recommended .Ca Registrars and deleting the ones that are not good.

You can't do that Adam, in that case the list will consist of only 3-5 registrars

Does a person need more that 3-5?

We should not recommend registrars we have had issues with.

I might be wrong, but from my experience over the years I can conclude that most of the Canadian registrars are run like a small mom-and-pop stores. Most of them have pretty old looking and operating websites and domain name management systems. Even if you take BareMetal.com which is one of the best registrars, and operated by very good professionals, look at their site frontend and backend.

Namespro.ca is great and I have talked with and seen and heard good things about CanSpace and Jay @ Ready.ca

a few more good companies, but a lot of those names listed are catching domains for their personal collections...

and I have nothing good to say about that.

so silence :yo:

Amen to that!

 

[Spex]

I second the motion for a recomended list VS an approved one

Also, Is there a smiliar list that shows which ones offer backordering services?

There are two type of registrars, public and private, private registrars are available to current public registrars that need to expand their tbr connection base to fulfill there customers orders. They cost the same and have the same restrictions but are not allowed to become full operating registrars and can only support TBR services. I'm not sure if those are the registrars that are missing from the list or not.

This list was provided by CIRA.

[lionfish]

I think a good idea would be to make some type of guide or table as to what registrars offer what features that are essential to have for any registrar.

Things that come to mind:

Ability to change the domain registrant when transferring a domain, both singular and in bulk
Auto renew
Bulk DNS change

Security issues, like if someone gains access to your email address or registrar account, will they be able to steal your domains? This is now much more crucial with epp as before we had our CIRA username and passwords which were inconvenient but nevertheless offered fabulous security. I actually have not heard of a single .ca domain that was stolen in the pre epp era, i.e over 10 years. That's quite an amazing achievement for CIRA I believe.

Support: email? phone? toll free? How fast?

How intuitive is the user interface?
..etc

I would think an objective unbiased list like that would be most valuable to all.

Liberator, thanks for the explanation. I think it makes sense now.

 

[jaydub]

Maybe you should change the title to "CIRA approved registrar list" rather than "CA approved registrar list". The title as it is now kind of intimates that these are approved by the forum....and I am sure there are a few you wouldn't want to have your forum name attached to..

I spoke too soon...I got 3 invoices from them today. God, I wonder how many people fall for those?

 

[jaydub]

I got one today as well...they seem to come in bunches and then nothing for a while.
And they are always for names I have let expire or sold long ago or names in different extensions for names I already own. :veryangry:
And their prices...LOL...just throwing out the net and seeing what fish swim in.

Hmm. I wonder and how do they explain that for others?

 

[KING]

I am wondering where can I get the .ca that are dropping I see snapnames offer that but all searches I do come back with 0 results..
I even search with no specific parameters only for .ca but still comes back blank

Thanks in advance
