Did you know 85% of Canadians prefer to buy from a .ca website over a .com when supporting local businesses? The .ca domain is more than a local signal - it’s a trust signal. And demand is growing fast: .ca registrations at Openprovider were up 109% in January 2025 compared to the year before.

 

Byron Holland, CEO of CIRA (the .ca registry), explains why this domain is currently so popular - and why it’s a valuable addition to any reseller portfolio.
