The best domain names are memorable and easy to type or related to where you do business.
Get Help with Domains“Where should I buy my domain?”
I recommend Cloudflare. They power a huge chunk of the internet, don’t charge markup fees, and won’t bombard you with sketchy upsells like GoDaddy does.
“Should I pick a .com or a .ca domain extension?”
If your customers are primarily in Canada, .ca builds immediate trust and boosts local Canadian SEO. Grab the .com too if it’s available, then point it to your main site.
“What is DNS and do I need to manage it myself?”
DNS is just the signpost that connects your domain name to your website host and email. Once mapped correctly, you won’t ever need to touch them again.
Domain Setup FAQs
What can I expect from a domain setup session?
We’ll search for available domain names together, purchase them through Cloudflare without hidden markup fees, configure your DNS settings (for email and hosting), and secure your WHOIS privacy. You leave with full ownership and a fully configured domain.
Can we move my domain over from GoDaddy or another provider?
Yes. If you already own a domain elsewhere, we can transfer management over to Cloudflare to slash renewal costs and consolidate your setup.
Will transferring or updating my domain break my website or email?
No. We copy all existing DNS records over before initiating any transfers or changes, ensuring zero downtime for your live website or incoming emails.
Do I need to buy both .ca and .com domains?
It’s not strictly required, but it’s best practice if both are available. Owning both prevents competitors or domain squatters from using your name, and we can automatically forward visitors from one to the other.
How does a 45-minute session work?
It’s a live video call with screen sharing. I’ll walk you through purchasing or transferring the domain directly under your own account or I can handle all the technical DNS setup while you watch.
