www.m-x.ca

M-x seems to be the "Montreal Stock EXchange...nice use of a L-L domain!

Hyphens are popular in the German market!

Only thing I can suggest for Stock-Exchange is to try to sell it to a blogger that is stock market analyst, and or blogs about the stock market!

stockmarket(dot)ca/ is a parked page and for sale (what a waste of a nice paying (adsense etc) keyword domain..

DomainRecap · Oct 21, 2018

Yep, but it is weird as several LLL.ca's that would fit (like TMX.ca) are available to be bought.

P.S. It's actually The Montreal Exchange, so TMX or TME, both of which are available for purchase on .CA.

especially because a number of people are using .ca in California.

.

"people" do you mean average end user or businesses!

I can understand business with a Canadian presence or leasing from a Canadian but the average "end user"?

Must be SEM/SEO challenge for Google Maps...
Love to lease my "cannabis" niche domains to Californians!

Is this possible @robepik ? You would know more about this than me!

MapleDots · Oct 21, 2018

Way back in the day it was quite hip for Californians to use .ca and I know a number of places still do. You can get around the .ca requirements by registering to a Canadian address and there are a number of services available if you google it that allow you to register geo domains with local addresses.

Thanks...did register a few "GEO" names way back but didn't do the footwork (contacting end users)

Definitely and there are entire marketing companies designed around selling/leasing .CA domains to Californians.

Thanks for the very informative link!
Thinking because of the recent legalization and California being a "cannabis" state, those percentages would be higher! The legalization is highly trending..

DomainRecap · Oct 21, 2018

Then a lot of companies should lose their sites then, but as I've found out, the CIRA really doesn't give a crap about enforcing their rules. Look at the TBR registrars essentially stealing valuable domains before they hit the TBR, when the CIRA requires those to be dropped for open bids.

It's a very dirty business and they just don't care.

Love to know what this means "is an Affiliate of the Registrant" ?
Example..I am a affilaite of a "CBD" site, and I redirect that site to my affiliate link, if I redirect another one of my sites to a "downline (someone who signs up under me) referral link" is that "legal"?

MasterOfMyDomains · Oct 21, 2018

CIRA is just milking our money.
Their emails go to spam, I have told them, no difference
I and @namesilo have told them numerous times that namesilo is not in list of certified registrars, unresponsive.
Instead they add these sketchy registrars to the list, which is their high and mighty friends playing the system.
Our extension is stale, they should promote .ca and educate canadians instead of donating my money to charity.

Registrant Agreement
Version 2.0, October 12, 2010
Their TOS are a little outdated

On a brighter note their looking into hooking up internet in https://cira.ca/blog/state-internet/building-not-just-bringing-internet-iqaluit

Can someone explain in normal terms what this means?

3.2No Proprietary Right
No Proprietary Right The Registrant acknowledges and agrees that a Domain Name is not property and that a Domain Name Registration does not create any proprietary right for the Registrant, the Registrar of Record or any other person in any name used as a domain name or in any Domain Name Registration. The entry of a domain name in the Registry and/or in the “WHOIS” database shall not be construed as evidence of ownership of any Domain Name Registration. The Registrant shall not in any way transfer or purport to transfer a proprietary right in any Domain Name Registration or grant or purport to grant as security or in any other manner encumber or purport to encumber any Domain Name Registration.

Well, that is actually clever. Really clever.

So, yes, the WHOIS stays the same but you can lease the domain to a non-Canadian.

It is slightly genius actually.

Other than @briguy, I hope you guys see what I did right up there!! ^^^

I’m kinda craving one myself right about now.

Don't know why that reminds me of John Belushi

DomainRecap · Oct 24, 2018

Anyone else try to grab old-school, pre-CIRA third-level domains when they expire?

When they drop I like getting old LLL's if I can, similar to this active site:

www.rhc.mb.ca

I like them because they are ancient in terms of .CA domains (registered at UBC) and have really never come to market. Anyone else?

DomainRecap · Oct 24, 2018

In a big surprise, ESJ.CA went first overall, just ahead of my top pick BGB.CA, and naturally HENRY.CA went third.

123 domains selected, with MyID.ca getting 4 of the top 5 (and 5 of the top 10) with Pool (4/10) and Sibername (1/10) making up the rest.

Crazy Fact of the Day: These three registrars accounted for 25 of the top 26 selections. Think about that for a second.

Haven't heard that term (third level) in awhile.. assume every province had one? Government sites?

That were the way domains used to be registered, back in the dark ages, before the CIRA.Then when the CIRA took over in 2000, they were grandfathered in, and no one could register the .CA of that letter combination.

If one of those drop, you know it's as old as the hills.

DomainRecap · Oct 24, 2018

For example, if I try to register RHC.CA, it errors out with:

The domain name provided conflicts with at least one other registered domain name and as a result is not available for registration (e.g. xyz.ca conflicts with xyz.on.ca).

It's also impossible to tell how old they really are, as the CIRA re-registered everything in 2000.
