I bought britishstudent.ca at domainsatcost, it seems to be a good and well priced place for .ca The fact that the website is still up suggests it isn't a mean domain grabber (it would have been replaced with bad ads by now).
Does anybody know what the whois was before it was set to expire? I think there are websites where you can check whois history(like checking whois live) but you have to register(free) for the history and I don't like to do that(maybe I should). I'm surprised the whois is so short, it might be worth contacting domainsatcost to ask for more details. I don't know what the requirements are for providing domain owner contact information. I know some companies offer to mask your info by putting an email address that forwards to the owner. Gregory.
