Frequently Asked Questions

A VPS (Virtual Private Server) is a virtual server that runs on powerful physical hardware using virtualization technology. It provides dedicated CPU, RAM, and storage resources, giving you more control, reliability, and performance than shared web hosting, without the higher cost of a dedicated server.

VPS servers are elastic and can be upgraded at any time as your needs grow.
Web Hosting (Shared Hosting)
With shared hosting, your website shares server resources with hundreds of other users. It’s affordable and easy to use, but resource limits and performance throttling can occur.

VPS Hosting
With VPS, you receive dedicated resources on shared physical hardware. This means improved performance, stability, and flexibility compared to shared hosting. While VPS environments share hardware with other VPS users, performance degradation is rare thanks to resource isolation. VPS plans can deliver performance similar to entry-level dedicated servers at a fraction of the cost.

Dedicated Servers
A dedicated server provides you with an entire physical server exclusively for your use. It offers maximum performance and isolation but at a higher cost and with greater management responsibility.
You should consider upgrading to a VPS if:
  • Your website is regularly being throttled on shared hosting
  • You need more CPU power, RAM, or faster disk performance (IOPS)
  • Your website traffic is growing significantly
  • You require custom configurations not available on shared hosting
  • You need to adjust server settings (execution time, email limits, advanced configurations, etc.)
  • You require improved reliability and stability
If your website or application is outgrowing shared hosting, a VPS provides the flexibility and performance to scale with you.
Web Hosting Canada has engineered its VPS platform for demanding websites and applications:
  • Independent LXD Linux containers for lightweight, high-performance virtualization
  • Local RAID-10 SSD storage, delivering exceptional speed and redundancy
  • Optimized server configurations for performance and security
  • Full root access for complete control (if required)
  • Hosted in Canada on Canadian IPs
  • Backed by expert 24/7 Canadian-based support
Our Managed VPS solutions are designed to give you power and flexibility, without unnecessary complexity.
Linux VPS (Recommended for most users)
Ideal for WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, PrestaShop, and most PHP, Perl, or Python applications. Supports MySQL, MariaDB, and PostgreSQL databases.

Windows VPS
Recommended for users who require:
  • Remote Desktop access
  • ASP or ASP.NET applications
  • Microsoft-specific technologies
Windows VPS includes the Plesk control panel (supports up to 10 domains) and works with MySQL and SQL Server databases (SQL Server license required).

Unless your application specifically requires Windows technologies, WHC recommends Linux VPS for optimal performance and reliability.
Managed VPS
WHC experts monitor, optimize, and maintain your server to ensure peak performance and uptime. If your server becomes unreachable (no ping), our monitoring system alerts our team and we proactively work to resolve the issue.

Unmanaged VPS
Your setup must be managed by you directly and allow you to use the operating system with the configuration of your choice. We offer 3 operating systems (OS): CentOS 6 or 7, Ubuntu 14 or 15, and Debian 7 or 8. With unmanaged VPS, WHC ensures network availability, physical hardware, and virtualization layer management, but server application management is your responsibility. This option is therefore recommended for users with experience in server management.
The right VPS depends on your:
  • Expected traffic
  • Required disk space
  • CPU and RAM requirements
  • Type of applications running
VPS Edge – Ideal for growing businesses, eCommerce stores, and agencies
VPS Elite – Designed for high-traffic or resource-intensive applications
VPS Ultra – Built for heavy workloads and maximum performance

If you're unsure, our team can help you select the right solution.
Yes! We offer free Professional Site Transfers.

Migrating typically involves:
  1. Transferring your domain registration (if needed)
  2. Transferring your website content
Our team can assist with both. You can also consult our Knowledgebase if you prefer to handle the migration yourself.
Yes. Additional IP addresses can be ordered from your Client Area at an added cost. A valid justification may be required.
