YOUR NEXT PROJECT STARTS HERE

Domain registration for your next idea

A domain name gives people a consistent address for your business, website, and email. Start with a name you can explain aloud, then choose an extension and a registration arrangement you can manage for years. Mixal can help you discuss domain options alongside your hosting needs.

Choose a name that lasts

Prefer a short, readable name that fits your business beyond its first product. Check the spelling with someone who has only heard it spoken.

Keep control of your identity

Use an account and recovery email your organization controls. Record who can approve renewals, DNS changes, and domain transfers.

Connect the services you need

Registration reserves the name. DNS connects it to website and email services, which may be purchased separately.

MAKE AN INFORMED CHOICE

Choose an extension for your audience

A .com can suit an international audience; .CA can signal a Canadian connection. Review CIRA’s eligibility rules before choosing .CA. Availability is specific to the full name and extension, so have a second choice ready. Owning a domain does not establish trademark rights.

Plan the first connection and the next renewal

Before changing nameservers, list the records your website and email currently use. Preserve mail records during a hosting move. Record the registration term, renewal date, currency, renewal cost, and any optional services. Keep recovery details current so a staff change does not become an access problem.

Build around an address you own

You can choose hosting after registering a name. For a new business site, start with the content platform and email requirements; for an existing site, schedule a tested migration. A domain transfer and a hosting migration are separate operations and do not have to happen together.

FIND YOUR FIT

Compare your options

Option	A useful fit for	Confirm before choosing
.com	A broad, internationally recognizable address	Availability and the full renewal cost
.CA	A business or person with an eligible Canadian connection	CIRA eligibility and registrant information
Another extension	A name that clearly communicates a project or speciality	Audience familiarity and extension-specific rules

Ask Mixal for current availability, the complete price, and the services included in your chosen configuration.

FROM IDEA TO LAUNCH

Plan your setup

Discuss your requirements

Prepare a shortlist.

Write down your preferred names and extensions, including easy-to-spell alternatives.

Confirm the complete terms.

Check availability, registration term, renewal price, transfer process, and the account holder before paying.

Connect and verify.

Add the required DNS records, test website and email delivery, and set a renewal reminder.

BEFORE YOU GET STARTED

Common questions

Does registering a domain include hosting?

Not necessarily. A domain is an address; hosting stores and serves your website. Check the contents of the selected package.

Can I keep my domain when I change hosting?

Yes. You can normally update DNS to point to a new host while keeping the existing registration. Plan email records and DNS timing carefully.

Is a .CA domain available to everyone?

CIRA applies Canadian presence requirements. Review the applicable eligibility category before registering; a Canadian audience alone does not establish eligibility.
