News Release

November 7, 2000, Vancouver - SearchBC.com announced today that it has become a .CA domain name registrar and that it now provides real-time, online registration of .CA domains throught its popular online resource portal.
"Typically dot-C-A registrations have been very time consuming." says SearchBC.com President, Marie Phillips-Bednash. "This service allows us to provide our stream-lined process of real-time online registration and management of .ca domains. This has been a long time coming and the real winner will be the holders of .CA domains! This timing also allows for new registrations of .CA domain names for many organizations that already hold the common .COM, .NET and .ORG extensions."
.ca domain name holders can now pre-register .ca domains through SearchBC.Com, for the OTD (Operational Transfer Date) which CIRA has extended to December 1st, 2000. As of October 30th, 2000 only 37,000 of 98,000 .ca domain name holders had re-registered their domains. Failure to re-register will cause web sites and email addresses using federally designated (.ca) or provincially designated .ca domain names (ie. .bc.ca) to become inaccessible after November 30, 2000.
Real-time registration of .CA domains can be done online at
http://hosting.searchbc.com/ at the rate of only $37.50 CDN + GST per year. Registration of .COM, .NET and .ORG is available at $25.50 CDN + GST per year.
SearchBC.com is a provincially focused ORC (Online Resource Centre) for British Columbia and a division of New Media Data Marketing Inc. SearchBC.com features web based email, online registration, parking, web hosting, re-direction and management of internet domains, plus an exclusive directory of BC based web sites.
