Web Hosting Company, Netfirms, Recommends Dot-ca Domain Acquisitions

Toronto, Canada - (Website Hosting Directory) - January 28, 2007 - Web hosting solutions provider, Netfirms, is cautioning that the new dot-ca domain names will sell out quickly in 2008. In particular, Canadians have embraced dot-ca domains, with nearly one million domains registered to date.

According to CIRA's dot-ca domain registration count, the rapid growth of dot-ca domains is no surprise to Netfirms, whose customers have found that dot-ca domains are trusted by Canadians, more available than dot-com and priced competitively.

Alexey Kapralov, Founder of eShopp remarked, ''Having a dot-ca domain name has helped customers trust my online store. I've found that Canadians prefer to buy from my store because I'm located in Canada. That's why having a dot-ca domain name is especially important for Canadian businesses.''

Registering a dot-ca domain name is particularly important for small businesses targeting Canadian consumers. A dot-ca domain name, paired with a Canadian focused website helps establish a trusted brand that attracts Canadian customers.

Although they're going quickly, there are still more dot-ca domains available than dot-com. The entire dot-ca domain namespace consists of nearly one million registered domains compared to nearly seventy million registered dot-com domains.

Gregg McLachlan, Founder and President of WorkCabin commented, ''Showing our Canadian identity is extremely important - that's we were glad to find our dot-ca domain name was available. It has definitely helped us successfully grow our services on the web and immediately connect us with Canadians.''

Jason Matheson, Product Manager, Netfirms, Inc. noted, ''Until a few years ago, dot-ca domain names were typically more expensive than dot-com. We started offering CIRA certified dot-ca domains for as low as $9.95 CAD per year ā€“ comparable to the industry standard price for a dot-com.''

Netfirms offers small businesses everything they need to establish a Canadian web presence with the lowest priced dot-ca domain names and business web hosting. For $9.95 per year, the dot-ca domain product includes:

A CIRA certified, dot-ca domain name (example.ca).
A basic webpage accessible through the domain name that can be edited immediately.
An email account @ the domain including spam filtering.
Full DNS management through the user-friendly Netfirms control panel.
24/7 access to expert technical support.

Mark Bowden, Founder of Truthplane Communication Training added, ''My dot-ca domain and web hosting through Netfirms has made it easy for me to share my knowledge and expand my Canadian client-base. Netfirms is simply the best choice for feature-rich domains and business web hosting.''
