The first step in the sale process is to let us know the domain(s) you’re interested in.  Once you do that we’ll put them on hold for you pending completion of the rest of the process.

Next, if you require immediate use of the domain, we’re happy to change the DNS servers over so you can start using it right away.  If you don’t have an urgent need for it, you can wait until it’s been transferred into your name and change the DNS servers at that time.

Payment is then made for the total price of the domain name(s) purchased.  It should be noted that this is not an auction or a bidding war, so the prices listed on the site are the final price you pay, first come first serve.  Just add $15 per domain to cover the ownership transfer (unlike many other TLD’s such as .com and .net, .ca domain names cannot be transferred without being renewed, however you still get the additional year as you would with a regular renewal), and 5% GST to get the total price.  We accept business and personal cheques, as well as money orders, as forms of payment.

Once your payment has been received and cleared, the final transfer process is performed.  If you have other .ca domain names which will be used by the same person or organization, you can combine them into the same registrant profile.  If you don’t currently have any other .ca domain names, or would like to manage them separately, you can create a new registrant profile with CIRA and they will be assigned to that.  When the actual ownership transfer completes, the domains will be totally under your control to be used in any way you see fit.
