.CA Domains cross the 1 million mark

According to the Canadian Internet Registration Authority, the operator of the dot-ca Internet country code, .ca domain names crossed a milestone when the 1 millionth domain name was registered by a Calgary lawyer, Brent Krause for his law practice.

Since the first dot-ca domain name was registered in 1988 it is estimated that the dot-ca domain name usage has increased by more than 20 per cent year on year.

The dot-ca domain names are reserved exclusively for Canadians — those eligible include citizens, permanent residents, Canadian corporations, a variety of groups that require a majority of their members to be Canadian, and the Queen.
