Just a quick question before I head off to bed. Why not a .ca domain? .net makes me fell all Yankee.

i always liked .net its the coolest 3 letter domain. I had a .bc.ca at one point, not for this site though.
I guess I could get a .ca aswell, but the .ca costs more, and i have no money, i'm a broke ass collage student

What really makes me proud to be Canadian is that .ca is used waaayyy more often than .us

... well that might have something to do with .us is new and .ca has been around for a long time, and used to be free, in the day.

The whole TLD things throws me for a loop sometimes. I see alot of people who ahve sites with.tv, .nu or .cc. The strangest still has to be .tk which you can register for free, but you get popups.

Besides .com is just fun to say. .CCCOOOMMM, COM COM COM! Sounds cool when I say it with force.

Well, at www.registeryour.ca a .net and .ca cost the same - something like $24 bucks a year I think was the amount I paid for my .ca.

I have 2 questions:
Why was .ca free at one point?
and
Why is .tk a free short URL?
These are 2 questions that boggle my mind.

.tk isn't a domain. It's like Bravenet redirectors - ie. a .tk just send you to another URL and masks that URL from your browser, much like a clik.to does.

Cool. But why was .ca formally a free service?

Oh I see. Kind of like .cjb.net that I use for my site right?
