🇨🇦 The Country Where .com Isn’t Popular – Canada

In most countries, .com is more popular than local domain extensions.
But not in Canada — where companies often avoid using .com for their websites. 🤔

Why?
Because the U.S. and Canada share an economic zone, and many U.S. companies sell to Canadian customers through .com sites.

📦 The problem?
Canadian users often don’t realize the site is U.S.-based until it’s too late.

Common issues when buying from a U.S. .com site:
1️⃣ Import duties
2️⃣ Expensive shipping
3️⃣ Slow delivery times
4️⃣ High return costs 💸

As a result, Canadians tend to:
🔍 Search with “Canada” or a city name
✅ Click only .ca domains
⚠️ Double-check the address if it's .com

Over time, trust has shifted entirely to .ca domains, and even local companies prefer .ca over .com to avoid losing customers.

💡 If you're investing in domains for the Canadian market, avoid .com.
Outbound sales efforts with .com simply don’t work here.

📉 Canada is one of the rare countries where .com loses.

Every startup is trying to build trust.

A strong domain doesn’t replace that work.
It shortens the distance to earn it.

I see that Atom now has a marketplace just for .ca 🇨🇦 (link below) domain names. Note that prices are in USD though. #canada #domain https://t.co/3l6Xk4H9e9

First .ROCKS domain spotted in the wild (in Quebec City), and a slick three-letter one at that! Although at first glance I thought this business was a nightclub, SPK turns out to be a startup-related ecosystem of various ventures. #domains #domainnames
