Go Daddy Domains Canada is offering .ca domain names at competitive prices, around the clock customer support and the opportunity to receive additional products and services at no additional charge, including a blog builder, online photo album and free email. "Offering .ca lets our Canadian customers have all their domain names in one place," says Bob Parsons, Go Daddy CEO and founder. "This gives Canadians the benefits of our low prices, unmatched customer service and support for all of their domains."
