Tucows, easyhosting, and rebel are all Canadian registrars I've dealt with.

I've used easydns forever. It's cheap, Canadian, been around since 1998.
They look good! Thanks! 🙂
We've been using https://www.canspace.ca/ and they seem to be pretty solid. Cheaper than easydns
They came up a lot in my search and seem great! Thinking I might go with them
I moved my domains for self hosted apps to fullhost.com and flipped the to .ca while I was at it. They claim to be the cheapest .ca registrar but I'll be honest I haven't fact checked that.
They also seem to have a pretty complete offering for everything a business would need to host things with a Canadian company.
Namespro.ca is great
They're great! I eventually switched from them for a better UI/UX though 🥲
While i agree that their UX is stuck in the 90s, how much time do you spend managing domains that it bothers you so much?
The thing that REALLY bothered me for a long time was the lack of 2FA, which they only fixed a few years ago
Which is probably why it took me years to move off of 😅
Oh, merci! Je vais regarder ça. J'ai vu le registraire fullhost.ca aussi, avez-vous expérience avec celui-là? (désolé pour mon mauvais français, j'apprends encore)
Sorry for the french bad habbit of.mine I switch alot between them.
I do not know fullhost.ca, im still interrested by your findings.
Ton français me semble très bon, aucun besoin de t’en excuser!
Si tu es ouvert à une correction, il manque un “de l’”: “Avez-vous de l’expérience”. Note que ce n’est absolument pas un problème pour la compréhension, la phrase était très claire et bien formulée, c’est simplement un petit détail de grammaire.
Merci, j'apprécie la correction :). Je vais m’en souvenir pour la prochaine fois. Je suis content que je suis compréhensible lol
I moved my domains over to EasyDNS.ca because they are supported by both letsencrypt and acme.sh — happy with their service so far and zero complaints.
Oh, that's a good point. I bought my latest domain with Canspace, but I'm not seeing anything about DNS challenge support
I've switched to EasyDNS as well, over from AWS.
If you're on the lower-tier/unicast plan, have you had any issues with MX records for email? I set up mine ~10 days ago, and A, CNAME, and most TXT records are working flawlessly, but anything email-related fails to resolve 30% of the time (checked through 3rd party DNS lookup tools, as well as just sending/receiving test messages seeing what gets through).
Unfortunately haven't, I don't rely on any of my personal domains for email.
I did just re-check to see if the email forwarding was working correctly, and it is -- but if it was failing sporadically I'm not sure I would even notice because my usage of it is so minimal.
For what it's worth, I did need to use their email support once and they were very pleasant and easy to work with.
Sweet, i'll check them out! Thanks :)
