New Generic Top Level Domains (gTLDs)
Are On The Way

New gTLDs, or domain extensions, will become available for registration later this year. ICANN, the organization responsible for maintaining the global Domain Name System (DNS), is currently processing nearly 2,000 applications for new gTLDs. Many of these new gTLDs will be restricted for private use but there will be more than 600 of these available to the general public for registration and use on the Internet, similar to how .com domains are currently registered and used online.

A large number of these new gTLDs will represent specific niches that will appeal to various markets, giving these domains an inherent value not available with the more generic .com, .net, and .org domains. The hundreds of new gTLDs can be grouped into various categories based on their specific meaning and market appeal:

Take Advantage Of .CA French Character International Domain Names You can now register.CA domain names properly in both official Canadian languages at DomainPeople. The CIRA registry for .CA domains has recently introduced support for the full range of French characters, such as û, à, ç, ë, œ, and so on.

Here’s how accented French characters for .CA domains work:

• Every French character variant of a registered .CA domain name will automatically become part of an administrative bundle. For example, the bundle for cira.ca would include variants such as cirà.ca, çira.ca, cîra.ca, çïrâ.ca, and all other combination of accented French and standard ASCII characters.
• Once a domain name is registered – either ASCII or IDN – all the variants of that domain name in the administrative bundle will be reserved, unavailable for registration by anyone except the existing registrant for the domain name.
• Each variant in an administrative bundle will have to be registered individually, and each registered domain name in the administrative bundle will have its own lifecycle.
• All domain names within an administrative bundle will have to be registered to the same registrant and with the same registrar.

The price of a .CA IDN is the same as our already discounted regular .CA registration of $14.95 per year.  Small details can make a big difference; put the right accent on your online presence with a French .CA web address. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to expand your Canadian customer base.  – Limited Time Discount only $12.50 for .CA IDN Domains!
