[Poll #686604]

I need to get myself a domain name, and a hosting service. Any advice on that would also be welcome. Keep in mind I'm in Canadia.

What he said.

Additionally, if you have a .ca domain, IMO it's best to set up a redirect to you from yourname.com , since people who can't remember your address will tend to type mybestguess.com . (guilty as charged!)

Unless you're planning on going back to the US, I would register a .CA domain. Besides being nationalistic, it's cheaper, and would probably give you more choices as to possible domains - i.e. jsmith.ca, johnsmith.ca, jbsmith.ca, thewriter.ca, etc.

Cheaper?

I was once offereed the choice between a .com domain at $12US, or a .ca domain for $50Cdn.

Of course, that was only the one provider. Chances are you're right if a person shops around.
