Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Interesting. Unfortunatly it's an undeveloped domain owned by someone who doesn't want to sell. It's too bad because it almost seems impossible to find a decent .com these days unless you completely make up a word, and even then it tough!

I have a domain name in mind for my web development company, but unforunatly the .com is already taken. Fortunatly for me though I live in Canada, and the .ca is available.

What I want to know is should I go ahead and register my desired .ca or should I continue to look and find a domain name that I can aquire the .ca and the .com ?

Thank you for your quick responses. I'm not going to purchase other domains such as xyzwebdesign.com as I'm only going to be SEOing one domain, in particular it will be xyz.ca, I do however own xyz.com and xyz.net and will 301 redirect those to the .ca.

Because I'm a company in Canada I figure I should optimize my .ca,  and make that my main domain and not my .com.

I'm creating a website for my new web design company in Vancouver. I'm looking to target such keywords as "Web Design Vancouver", etc.

I have another company with a hyphenated domain name which is terrible when I'm on the phone and my client asks me for my domain (hard to say, always spelling it out).

Also I wanted to have a good snappy name for my new business so I found a 6 letter .com and matching .ca for my company.

My question is: is it best to use a short domain name or is it better have my keywords in the domain name?

eg. xyz.com vs xyzvancouverwebdesign.com

Thanks

I'm opening up a web development company in Vancouver and I'm stuck between getting hosting in Montreal or Vancouver. Montreal is a cheaper but, my company is in Vancouver. I have a .ca which will be my domain name, so I'm already on top of that aspect.

From what I understand it would help for SEO purposes if my IP is a local Vancouver IP for my company website. So my question is... Should I go for the Vancouver hosting and pay more or stick with the Montreal hosting.
