CanReg.com is a wholly-owned division of Infinet Communications Group Inc., a privately held Internet Service Provider based in Vancouver, B.C. Infinet has a long history and experience in the Internet market in Canada and has been providing .CA registration services since 1997. On October, 2000, Infinet was awarded full accreditation from the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) to launch CanReg.com as an online gateway for Canadians across the country to register and renew their .CA domain names under the new CIRA policies (more on new CIRA policies).

CanReg.com is the first .CA registrar to allow users to register and manage their domains online. Using its unique, state-of-the-art Domain Admin Panel, users can easily perform typical administrative functions such as changing registrant information and updating DNS settings in real-time. Equally unique to CanReg.com is its optional URL Forwarding feature that allows users to re-direct online visitors of a domain to any website in the world. URL Forwarding also allows users to point several domain names to the same website, eliminating the expense of hosting duplicate web sites.

With the launch of CanReg.com, the floodgates are now opened for Canadians to take a stake in the increasingly competitive domain name real estate.
