📄 Editorial Review
CanSpace (founded 1998) positions itself as a proudly Canadian, green hosting provider focused on reliability, performance, and data residency. All staff, billing, servers, and data centers are in Canada, and they emphasize that customer data remains within Canadian borders and under Canadian law. Power for their infrastructure is sourced from 100% Canadian-generated green energy (Beauharnois hydro), and the facility is cooled by the hydro-dam itself. They also highlight large network capacity, proactive monitoring, and layered DDoS protection.Product lineup:
- Shared & WordPress hosting: cPanel hosting optimized for WordPress with server-level caching, Nginx acceleration, NVMe/SSD storage, current PHP/MySQL, WP-CLI, WAF and DDoS protection. A free site builder and one-click installers (WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento, etc.) are included. Shared plans (except the entry tier) are "Node.js ready" and also support Ruby and Git.
- Reseller hosting: White-label with WHM access, private nameservers, and the ability to create individual cPanel accounts and custom plans. SSL is included on higher tiers (entry-level may require an add-on). Overselling is supported, and daily backups are included.
- VPS hosting: Fully managed VPS with RAID-10 SSD, guaranteed resources, full root, optional WHM/cPanel, backups, and security/maintenance handled by CanSpace. VPS plans are scalable and include DDoS protection and unlimited data transfer.
- Dedicated servers: Fully managed single-tenant servers on current-gen Intel Xeon or AMD EPYC platforms, RAID-redundant disks (SSD options), ECC RAM, redundant power, WAF + CSF/LFD firewalls, and DDoS protection. Full root and WHM/cPanel are available. Bandwidth is presented as 100–250 Mbps guaranteed, unlimited transfer.
- Domains & SSL: ICANN/CIRA-certified registrar services with aggressive pricing on .ca domains and a catalog of new gTLDs. SSL certificates are sold separately, while many hosting plans include free Let’s Encrypt.
The overall offer suits individuals, SMBs, agencies/resellers, and organizations that want Canada-only hosting with managed options. Trade-offs to note: a few features are held for higher tiers (e.g., SSL on entry reseller), and live chat is not advertised—support centers on tickets and phone with very fast targets.

😁 Recommended host
I work for a consulting company doing work for a Canadian crown corporation so we had very specific requirements with regards to data privacy, security, etc, in addition to of course speed and reliability. Ultimately we are handing this project back to the government so the performance of the hosting provider reflects on our company as well. I'd just like to say that the sales team at CanSpace really made the effort to answer all of our questions in great detail and their service has met and exceeded expectations in all aspects. We'll definitely be working with them for all of our future projects.

😁 Best host in Canada!
As a result of the coronavirus crisis we have (temporarily) moved all our operations online and needed to beef up our website. We were paying a fortune with our last host and site speeds were terrible and costing us business. We switched to CanSpace and within a day they had us fully migrated. We are actually paying LESS than before, and our site is performing way better. The migration was a pretty complicated one as we weren't even coming from a cPanel-based host, but they did it all for free and everything is working 100%.

😁 Great service
I was referred to CanSpace by a friend who has been with them for several years. I was having email issues with my old host as a ton of people were not receiving my emails. Switching to CanSpace resolved this completely and I no longer have to wonder whether or not someone received my email. Site migration went smoothly as well.
