How to Buy a Canadian Domain Name
A domain name is essentially a marker to identify a certain website on the Internet. Domain names always begin with www, and end with a domain, such as .com, .org, .net, etc. The .ca domain is the top-level domain in Canada. Such Canadian domains can be controlled by any Canadian citizen or permanent citizen of Canada. A .ca domain may be registered and purchased online on a myriad of registrars.
