I got the following email this morning from CIRA…
On Monday April 13, 2008 dot-ca crossed a significant milestone – the registration of the one-millionth dot-ca domain name! This achievement marks a significant milestone in the history of dot-ca domain names and demonstrates the pride that we all take in maintaining a unique, Canadian presence online.
Dot-ca is a made-in-Canada success story that started with the registration of the first dot-ca domain name in 1988 and follows the rapid growth of the Internet. Your registration and your domain name have contributed to this success and form part of the million-strong dot-ca community on the Internet.
The staff and Board of Directors of the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) would like to thank you again for choosing dot-ca for your domain name and look forward to your continued support.
I am actually a little surprised it took 20 years to reach that many domains. Does it mean we will be getting a discount for the next million? Probably not. Anyways congratulations CIRA and hope it only takes half the time to get the next million.
Does CIRA reaching a million domains mean anything to you?

With the rapid growth of the Internet, I’d imagine that reaching the next million will happen a lot sooner rather than later.

I dunno what will happen in the next years when we will run out of domain names to use…
