A web hosting account is a secure space on powerful computers (called servers) located in special buildings (datacenters) that provide consistently fast Internet connections, redundant power supply, and physical access security. Today, web hosting has evolved from being considered “just some space on a server” to being a comprehensive platform on which you can build, publish, and market your website, in addition to providing powerful collaboration tools such as email, calendars, and file sharing. Now, our web hosting plans all include AI-powered tools to assist all canadians in their quest of building their online presence.

Our web hosting plans are designed for Canadian small businesses and entrepreneurs wishing to build, grow, and publish their website quickly and efficiently without breaking the bank, and include great tools such as Site Builders, WordPress, email, visitor statistics, and more. They are easy enough to use even if you have no technical experience, while being powerful and versatile enough to meet the needs of advanced software developers and power users. And now with the launch of AI functionalities at WHC, you have someone holding your hand along the way.

A domain name is an Internet address used to locate your website or web application. If available, a domain name can be registered for up to 10 years at time, and be renewed indefinitely. However, a domain name registration on its own doesn’t actually do anything other than prevent someone else from registering it.

To display website content and access email, a domain name must connect to a web hosting account, a Cloud Server, or a Dedicated Server. Web Hosting Canada makes it easy for you to reserve your domain name while ordering a web hosting account. We include a free domain name registration with certain hosting packages. You can also associate multiple domain names with the same website, or multiple domains to separate websites on the same hosting account at no extra cost.

The GO web hosting plan is a good starting point for a small, non-commercial personal website.

The PRO web hosting will be the right fit for most small business websites. It includes automatic SSL protection, a free domain name registration, and delivers better performance (double the RAM, CPU, Disk throughput), enabling faster page loads and more simultaneous traffic to your website. It’s a great choice for WordPress, Joomla or Drupal sites expecting to receive several hundreds of visitors per day. It also includes Premium features such as Anycast DNS.

The ENTERPRISE web hosting plan delivers the best performance (twice that of the PRO plan), includes larger mailboxes, as well as an advanced antispam. It’s the right choice for eCommerce websites, discussion forums, or larger, dynamic websites.

You can easily upgrade from one hosting plan to another from your Client Area at any time.

In addition to the standard features you’ll get from most web hosting providers, Web Hosting Canada offers even more:

• Improved performance up to 10x faster than the competition with highly optimized web servers, including fast SSD RAID-10 storage and LiteSpeed acceleration.
• The best tools, including multiple Site Builders, 1-click installation for WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, and popular e-commerce tools such as PrestaShop, OpenCart and Magento.
• Canadian datacenters, improving load times for Canadian clients, improving search results in local searches with Canadian IPs, and benefiting from Canadian privacy laws. We operate out of both East coast and West coast datacenters for added proximity to your clients.
• 24/7 expert support in both French and English. Our team is always available when you need help by phone, chat or email.
• For power users and developers, Web Hosting Canada delivers too: multiple versions of PHP, Python, and Ruby, MySQL databases, SSH access, and burstable resources for hungry applications.
• Canada’s most powerful DNS technology, featuring D-ZONE Anycast DNS. It’s included for free with PRO & Enterprise hosting plans!

You can also get in touch with our support team to migrate to our Cloud Servers or Dedicated Servers if your website outgrows web hosting.

Transferring your website to Web Hosting Canada normally involves two steps: transferring your domain registration, and transferring your website content. Our team can help perform both operations for you, free of charge, usually in under 24 hours. Simply open a support request asking for a site transfer after you’ve activated your hosting account, and include the login details from your current provider.

If you’d like to find out more about transfers or if you’d prefer to complete the transfer yourself, consult our Help Center Article about How to transfer your website to Web Hosting Canada.
