Want to get a domain name for your website? In this guide, I will show you exactly how to register a website name from A to Z.
But before that, there are a few things you need to know. For starters, all domain names must be registered with the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA).
And while there are many registrars out there that can help you with the process, CIRA itself does not actually register domains.
The second thing to know is that there are two types of domains in Canada: .ca domains and generic top-level domains (gTLDs). .ca domains are meant for Canadian businesses and organizations, while gTLDs can be used by anyone.
To register a .ca domain, you’ll need to have a Canadian presence, which means having a business or organization located in Canada.
If you meet the requirements for registering a .ca domain, the process is fairly simple.
What is a domain name and why should you register one in Canada?
A domain name is an online address used to identify a website. It is the text that appears after “www” in a web address. For example, the domain name of this website is “www.truehost.ca.”
But why do you need a domain name?
You should register a domain name in Canada for a number of reasons: first, by registering a .ca domain name (or any other website name), you will be able to show your website’s visitors that you are a Canadian business. This can help you build trust with potential customers and encourage them to do business with you.
Second, having a domain name will make it easier for people to find your website. When you register a domain name, you can also set up email addresses that use your new domain name.
This makes it easy for customers and partners to remember how to reach you online.
What’s more, owning a domain name in Canada shows that you are serious about your business and committed to being online. This can give you a competitive edge and help you stand out from the crowd.
How to pick the best domain for your website
There are a few things you need to take into account when you’re trying to choose the best domain name for your website.
You want something that’s easy to remember, short, and catchy. But you also want it to be relevant to your brand or business.
Here are a few tips on how to pick the best domain for your website in Canada:
- Keep it short and sweet: A shorter domain is easier to remember and less likely to be misspelled.
- Make it relevant: Your domain should be closely related to your business or brand name. This makes it easier for customers to find you online.
- Use keywords: If you can, try to incorporate some keywords into your domain name. This will help customers find you more easily in search engines.
- Be creative: Try to come up with a unique and catchy name that will help your brand stand out.
- Check availability: Before you settle on a domain, make sure it’s available! You can do this by checking the WHOIS database.
- Register your domain: Once you’ve found an available domain, be sure to register it as soon as possible. This will prevent someone else from claiming it. Don’t worry, we will look at this step in a few.

How to Register a Domain Name in Canada
Now, let’s look at how to go about the registration process.
Before we get started, make sure you have the following:
- A list of potential domain names
- A payment method (Truehost supports Bank cards, PayPal, and Stripe)
With these, head over to https://truehost.ca/
Hover on Domains and click Domain search.
This takes you to a page where you can begin the domain search process.
First, type your preferred domain into the box as shown below and click search.
You can also include the extension if you have a preferred one. As you can see above, I want a .ca domain, that’s why I added .ca on my domain.
Two things happen when I clicked the search butto.
The search found a match for my .ca domain. This means that someone already owns that domain, and thus I can’t register it.
It also showed me that the .com version of that domain is available.
Here, you can search for another name (which is why I asked you to have a list of potential names).
Alternatively, I can whisk away the .com.
So, go ahead and click Add to Cart once you find the domain you want. This is what you should see next;
First, you get a message that you don’t have hosting and you can add it now.
To order hosting, see this guide.
Then there’s the Nameservers section. You can use the default or change to custom (you can still change them later).
And then there are three add-ons.
- DNS Management (free)
- ID Protection (paid)
- Email Forwarding (free)
Choose the ones you want.
Done?
Click Continue.
Make sure everything looks okay here and click Checkout Now.
The next step is to create an account and provide billing address.
Choose a preferred payment method
And finally, complete the order.
From here, settle your invoice. You will then receive an email containing all the details you need to use your new domain name.
