You don't necessarily need to have your host and your registrar be the same
company. Most hosting companies simply need you to point the DNS information
to their DNS -- you set the DNS with your registrar, and your host handles
the site. Normally, US-based hosting providers shouldn't have any problems
hosting a .ca domain.
Yes, I'm aware that you don't need a Canadian host....just thought it would save a step. I actually like some of the US hosts...seem like good bang for the buck.
I was looking at http://www.ixwebhosting.com. Got good marks in a couple of reviews....or http://www.1and1.com
For Canadian registrations, I normally use Baremetal.com out of Victoria.
Their prices are pretty good, and they're head-and-shoulders above other
registrars in terms of customer service, most notably
Domainsatcost.ca/Internic.ca, who have some of the worst customer service
I've ever experienced. (I have no affiliation with Baremetal, btw.)
So what is there to customer service after you register the domain and transfer it?
Another question...what happens if you register a domain and then that company goes out of business?
I was thinking of going with 10dollar.ca to register. You guessed it....about $10 to register.

I'm looking for a good Canadian web host for a church site, any suggestions? The drawback to US web hosts is that they can't register .ca domains.
