Frequently Asked Questions
Unlike Web Hosting (also commonly referred to as shared hosting), VPS give you access to dedicated resources on a shared physical webserver. This means you have more control, reliability and performance than you would with regular web hosting.
Unlike Dedicated Servers, VPS share the same hardware with other VPS clients, making performance degradation caused by other users still possible, although quite rare. By sharing the same physical hardware, you also share the costs, and as such VPS can deliver similar performance to entry-level dedicated servers at a fraction of the cost. VPS are also elastic, and can be upgraded automatically at any time.

VPS are also elastic, and can be upgraded automatically at any time.
There are a few reasons why you would want to upgrade your web hosting to VPS.
- You should upgrade to VPS hosting if you require superior performance, such as faster CPU, more memory (RAM) or faster read/write operations (IOPS). If your website is regularly being throttled on the web hosting platform, a VPS upgrade will be beneficial to you.
- Your website or application may require a special configuration to run properly. While web hosting does not provide full flexibility, VPS do. You could, for example, increase the maximum execution time for your scripts, increase the maximum hourly limits of your email campaigns, and more!
- You may also choose to upgrade to a VPS if you require superior reliability. Unlike web hosting, VPS do not share the same hardware with hundreds of other clients and generally provide improved stability, uptime, and performance.
Unlike other providers, Web Hosting Canada has spared no expense to make our VPS your go-to solution for demanding websites and web applications. How?
- Our VPS runs on independent LXD Linux containers, which are lighter than traditional virtualization and help websites/apps load faster.
- We use exclusively local RAID-10 SSD storage, widely considered the fastest commercial storage technology available, and up to 7x faster than traditional virtual servers.
- Our servers are carefully configured and optimized for performance and security, so that you can make the most of them from day one, and use as you would a regular web hosting account.
- You have full root access, granting you full control over your server, should you require it.
- Hosted in Canada, on Canadian IPs and backed by our expert 24/7 Support.
Linux VPS are your best choice for most websites. They are recommended for WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Prestashop, and most other applications that use PHP, Perl and Python scripting languages. They support MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MariaDB databases.
Windows Cloud Servers come preloaded with Windows Web Server 2012, and are recommended for users that want to connect to their servers with Remote Desktop, or run websites using ASP or ASP.NET technology. Windows Cloud Servers include the Plesk control panel, which supports up to 10 domains at no additional cost, and work with MySQL and SQL Server (requires license) databases.
Unless you specifically require a Windows server due to technical constraints, Web Hosting Canada recommends Linux VPS for optimal performance and reliability. If you are still unsure which to choose, simply get in touch with our helpful 24/7 sales team.

The right server will depend on your expected usage in disk space as well as your desired performance in terms of CPU and memory (RAM). Contact our friendly sales team for help choosing the right VPS solution.
Managed VPS are optimized and maintained by WHC experts to ensure best performance and reliability. If your server goes offline (no ping) our monitoring system will alert us and our team will attempt to resolve the problem for you, without needing your intervention.
Unmanaged VPS must be maintained by the client. WHC still ensures hardware and network availability, while managing the virtualization layer.
