I just went through the process of registering my first dot.ca domain and I couldn’t believe how much crap you have to go through just to get one. Dot.ca domains cost twice that of [dot.com](http://dot.com)’s and they make you jump through hoops for no reason. I accidentally selected the wrong province and it took 5 days to get it straightened out. Anyone else think this process is ridiculus? Anyways, if anyone is curious (which I doubt) here’s a link to all the documents you have to read. [http://cira.ca/en/cat\_Registrar.html](http://cira.ca/en/cat_Registrar.html) ---

mdipi you have to go through cira (canadian internet registration a hollio’s) to get a dot.ca domain. CIRA is a non-profit government appointed co. The client wanted .com but that was taken so he wanted .ca. ---

I think he wanted all of you guys to diss the domain registration, not his home country. 😛 ---

Yeah be nice to Canada everyone hehe 😉 When the US gov’t controlled domain registrations through a private company (NetworkSolutions?) for .com, it was really expensive also. Good thing that monopoly was ended a few years ago. If there are any 3rd party resellers, go with them 🙂 ---

mdipi, you can buy them through registerfly but then you have to register them with CIRA. The whole thing is dumb.
