A place to ask Canadians questions and get answers. The most obvious questions would be about Canada, but you can ask about pretty much anything; news, current events, society, etc

I don't intend this as an AMA format, but can entertain some. Rules:

Be civil and act in good faith.
No trolling.

Hi,

American looking to move my domains to somewhere more stable. I found some alternatives on Google, but I worry they are basically GoDaddy.

Any suggestions for domain registrars?

We don't have a lot of Canadian registrar's. https://easydns.com/ is the only one I know of.

I usually use porkbun but they're American.

I think there's actually quite a few, per CIRA's list of registrars, but I haven't gone through all of them tbh.
