Show Your Pride With a Canadian Hosting Badge
In today’s Canada, supporting local business is more than just a choice. It’s a bold declaration. As Canadian voices grow louder in the face of external pressures, we're standing firm in our identity, our sovereignty, and our values. With the current climate intensifying, especially in response to the actions of the new U.S. administration, it’s clearer than ever: buying Canadian, supporting Canadian businesses, and protecting Canadian data are crucial acts of resistance.
Remember, we're not the 51st state. We're a proud, independent nation with a robust economy and strong privacy laws that set us apart. This is why WHC is proud to introduce our Canadian Badges, so businesses like yours can proudly display that your website is hosted right here in the heart of Canada, with your data kept on home soil where it belongs.
Why hosting in Canada matters
On top of keeping things local, hosting your website and emails in Canada is simply a smart business decision. Here’s why:
Your data stays in Canada
Your data is stored on home turf, under Canadian privacy laws, without being subject to foreign surveillance or unpredictable regulations.
Faster speeds for Canadian visitors
Hosting in Canada means faster load times and better performance for your Canadian customers, ensuring a smooth and seamless experience.
You’re supporting the Canadian economy
Keeping your loonies in Canada strengthens our tech industry, supports local jobs, and reinforces our digital infrastructure.
No foreign oversight, no uncertainty
Hosting abroad can mean data laws that change overnight, corporate mergers that shift priorities, or government policies that put your business at risk. Hosting in Canada, on the other hand, offers peace of mind thanks to stable regulations and robust security.
