Netfirms

.ca registrar in Canada, read from its own storefront on 2026-10-26

Accredited by CIRA

Can a member of the public buy a .ca here?

Not established. .ca was not among the namespaces on the page read on 2026-10-26. That is a fact about the page we read, not a finding that the registrar does not sell it.

Why it is not ranked

No public storefront: the site opens only a sign-in page.

Namespaces on its own page

No namespace list could be read from the page.

What its page printed

netfirms.ca and netfirms.com redirect to a sign-in page ("LOG INTO YOUR ACCOUNT"; "Netfirms is becoming Netfirms by Network Solutions"); no public domain or price page.

Read from https://www.netfirms.ca/ on 2026-10-26. A storefront read establishes the language, the currency and the figure the page printed that day. It does not establish support quality, uptime or what a renewal will cost next year.

How the Canada storefronts were read

CIRA's .CA Marketplace, which CIRA says lists all .CA Certified Registrars, was read on 2026-09-29 (34 registrars once "View all certified providers" was opened), and 11 storefronts were opened from it. GoDaddy and Namecheap refused the read, Hover and easyDNS show US dollars, and HostPapa shows a bare "$". CanSpace, WHC and Rebel print .ca in Canadian dollars, but no page read states whether GST/HST is included, so no store is ranked. On 2026-10-20 the 2 storefronts that could not be read were opened again in a browser that waits longer for pages built by script, reads framed pages and follows a redirect from plain http to https: 2 were read this time, 0 still could not be, and none of those read prints a comparable .ca price. On 2026-10-08, 19 storefronts were read by hand from their own .ca pricing pages: 3 already listed here now carry a comparable .ca price, and 16 were opened for the first time, 0 of them with a comparable price. On 2026-10-26, 10 storefronts were read by hand, looking for a page that states the tax treatment of its .ca price: 7 were added and 3 re-read, and the number with a comparable .ca price went from 3 to 9.

FAQ

Is Netfirms accredited to sell .ca?
Yes. Netfirms is on the accredited-registrar list CIRA publishes, read on 2026-09-29. Accreditation means the registry permits it to sell the namespace; it does not by itself mean the registrar retails .ca to the public, which is what the storefront read establishes.
What does Netfirms charge for a .ca domain?
Not established. .ca was not among the namespaces on the page read on 2026-10-26: No public storefront: the site opens only a sign-in page.
Has this site tested Netfirms?
No. We have run no support test, no transfer test and no uptime measurement on Netfirms, so it carries no score and appears in no quality ranking. The .ca ranking on the Canada page orders registrars by one printed price only.
