Attention Consumer and Technology Reporters:
Domainsatcost.ca Cuts Prices
for Domain Registrations
Continues price leadership with $12.95 registrations
OTTAWA, Canada / December 11, 2003 /CNW/ - Effective immediately, Canada's domain
name price leader, Domainsatcost.ca, is offering dot-ca domain registrations for C$12.95
and dot-com registrations for US$12.95.
"Domainsatcost.ca is and has long been Canada's price leader", said Rob Hall, President
and CEO of Domainsatcost.ca. "We were the first to bring dot-ca domain registration prices
below $20, and we are now the first to bring them under $13. Today's $4.54 dot-ca
price cut is a 26% reduction, from what was already the lowest price available in Canada."
Domain name registries, such as the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA), set
and collect wholesale-type registry fees for each and every domain name registration,
constituting a large portion of the total retail price paid by consumers. Yesterday, CIRA
disclosed plans to reduce its wholesale registry fee to $10.00 effective July 1.
"Effective immediately, Domainsatcost.ca is reducing consumers' retail price for dot-ca
registrations to $12.95, the lowest prices in Canada," said Hall. "Further, Domainsatcost.ca
is simultaneously lowering our retail price for international domain names (dot-com, dot-net,
dot-org, dot-biz, dot-info, dot-us) to US$12.95."
To benefit customers, Domainsatcost.ca is cutting retail prices almost twice as much as
CIRA's wholesale reduction, and implementing the price cut six months earlier. All
Domainsatcost.ca customers - new registrants, renewals, and those who switch from more
expensive registrars - enjoy the lowest prices in Canada, plus leading-edge infrastructure,
high-level security and a tremendous range of additional services such as hosting and e-mail.
"For Canadians seeking the most affordable domains and top-quality services, no one beats
Domainsatcost.ca. We consistently lead the way in making Internet domains easy and
affordable for every Canadian who wishes an Internet identity - students, homemakers,
retirees, entrepreneurs, writers, activists, family and friends."
Free domain name searches, low-cost online registrations, and a full suite of hosting and
e-mail services are available 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week at www.domainsatcost.ca.
