25 Jul 08 GoDaddy Canada begins accepting .ca domain name registrations but…
Yup, domain registrar giant GoDaddy is officially accepting .ca Canadian domain registrations as of today. This marks a major turning point for the .ca domain space. While there are several established Canadian .ca registrars, the arrival of GoDaddy into the .ca domaining arena is significant in no small part because GD is the biggest domain registrar out there.
On the surface, this may seem like a bad thing – I’m sure many of you are concerned that Bob Parsons and his domain (and web host, and TDNAM aftermarket service) will squeeze out all the smaller (but Canadian, eh!) registrars. Maybe not – case in point; many gTLD registrars thrived and even came onto the scene despite the GD domination of the ubiquitous .com / .net and .org space.
