.com or .ca for my Canadian website that is the question...

I have a US based company that is expanding to Canada, would it matter if I have a .com or .ca for my website?

Hey Melissa,

If you are going to use a subfolder on your company page as: www.company.com/canada/ then you will benefit from some link juice from your company site.

But in long term, I would go for ccTLD. Although you will have to build the "link-reputation" from almost zero, you can better optimize it for the specific country (in our case Canada).

Also it would be better to gain a hosting package that is based in Canada, many small factors, BUT 1+1 makes 2, right?

I hope it helped,

Istvan
