Comment on Recommendations for a good .ca domain host?

First off you should realize that the registrar’s and domain name servers don’t have to be the same. Feel free to use any registrar (ex: namecheap, gandi, etc) and host the domain name server anywhere else.
Secondly, if you want a good API for dynamic updates, I’d recommend looking for something that supports nsupdate, which is bind’s built-in update mechanism.

in the end I went with CanSpace as registrar, and I’m using CloudFlare to actually run the nameservers.
The transfer was kind of a PITA because since the domain transferred from Google to Squarespace to Canspace to then being hosted on CF’s nameservers (but still on Canspace) the DNSSEC meant that CF couldn’t actually get it connected until like 48 hours later. Was quite worried that I’d screwed up somewhere.
