At WHC, protecting our clients’ online safety and success is a top priority. We're currently addressing a security concern that may affect you.
We’d also like to thank our customers for swiftly bringing this to our attention. When we work together, we move fast.
We've identified a new wave of phishing attempts where fraudulent emails are being sent to our customers, falsely appearing as official WHC communications. Some customers have reported receiving misleading domain verification notices from suspicious addresses claiming to be affiliated with us. These emails are not from WHC. Their goal is to deceive users into providing sensitive information, like login credentials, by redirecting them to a fake website designed to closely resemble ours.
Phishing emails often aim to trigger urgency or fear to prompt immediate action. To stay safe, be mindful of these warning signs:
To confirm legitimacy, type the URL directly into your browser. Here are some examples:
✅ whc.ca – LEGIT
✅ clients.whc.ca – LEGIT
❌ clients-whc.ca – FRAUD
❌ billing-whc.ca – FRAUD
Recently, some users have reported emails from [email protected] or [email protected]. Even though our name appears in these email addresses, they’re fraudulent. WHC will only contact you using official addresses ending in “@whc.ca.”
If you suspect you've fallen victim to a phishing attempt, don’t panic. Acting quickly can help limit potential damage:
If you receive a suspicious email, do not click on any links or provide any information. Instead, report it to our support team right away and mark it as spam. We also recommend conducting regular reviews of your accounts and updating your passwords periodically as an added precaution.

Ever wonder where your online data actually lives? If you’re a Canadian business or individual, that’s a bigger deal than you might realize. And in a world where privacy, security, and digital control are hot topics, keeping your data on Canadian soil is more important than ever.
Let’s break it down.
Put simply, data sovereignty means that data stored in a country falls under that country’s legal system. Sounds straightforward, but the implications are huge.
Different countries have different laws on data access and privacy. To put it mildly, some offer more peace of mind than others. If your data is stored elsewhere, it could be acquired by foreign governments or subject to regulations that don’t align with Canadian privacy standards.
Canadian privacy laws, like PIPEDA, offer strong protections and align with our expectations around how personal and business data should be handled. Hosting your data in Canada helps:
Data stored abroad may be subject to foreign surveillance and looser privacy rules.
Staying within Canada means working within one clear legal framework: ours.
Choosing Canadian-hosted services strengthens our tech sector and keeps jobs and investment at home.
Still thinking about hosting your data abroad? Let’s dive a bit deeper into the possible consequences:
Take the United States, for example. Under the CLOUD Act, authorities can access data stored by American companies—even if that data is outside the U.S. That’s a huge privacy risk for Canadian businesses and individuals.
Regulations shift, governments change, and international tensions rise. Storing data in another country could lead to unexpected restrictions, data access issues, or compliance headaches down the road.
The farther your data has to travel, the slower your website, apps, and services perform. If your customers are in Canada, storing your data elsewhere could impact latency, compliance, and security.
At WHC, we take data sovereignty seriously. With datacenters right here in Canada, your websites and emails stay on home turf, and we’ll always proudly support businesses that invest in our economy, create jobs here, and don’t answer to foreign interests.
When your data’s here in Canada, expect stronger privacy, better security, and a more resilient digital economy.
Make the smart move. Choose WHC’s Canadian web hosting solutions to protect your data and keep it where it belongs: right here in Canada.

Canada has a way of creating standout content. Think Schitt’s Creek. Denis Villeneuve. We’ve got the creativity, the talent, and the drive. And when it comes to podcasts, it’s no different. Canada has incredible podcasts, made right here at home. And the world needs more of them.
That's exactly why PodCamp Toronto exists. Every year, podcasters from across Canada come together to learn, share, and grow their projects. This year, WHC was there as a proud sponsor, alongside the legendary Amber Mac and Javon from Papr Maché. The goal? Support the voices shaping Canada’s podcasting landscape.
Podcamp put us onto some incredible podcasts and creators. All made in Canada. Scroll down for the list!
Podcasting in Canada is alive and growing. According to recent industry insights, more Canadians are tuning in, new voices are emerging, and the country’s podcasting scene is stronger than ever. And that’s a win in our mind. Because we can all agree that the world right now could use more Canada.
That energy was everywhere at PodCamp. We met Canadian creators covering everything from Indigenous perspectives to business, true crime, sports, comedy, and Francophone culture. Voices that are heard not just across Canada, but around the world. And we need more of them.
The best way to help? Listen to them. Share them. Support Canadian podcasters.
PodCamp Toronto is Canada’s biggest podcasting event. It’s a space where beginners, veterans, and media professionals come together to sharpen their skills and connect. Whether someone is launching their first episode or celebrating their 100th, PodCamp is where they go to learn, grow, and reach new audiences.
Since launching in 2007, it’s become a premier event for podcasters, content creators, and digital media experts. It’s proof that podcasting in Canada isn’t just alive—it’s thriving.
At PodCamp, we met passionate creators from all over the country. Some were just starting out, testing their ideas, and learning the ropes. Others had built strong audiences and were looking to take their podcasts to the next level. What connected them all? A shared love for storytelling and a belief that podcasting is one of the most powerful ways to connect with an audience.
Every great event has a great team behind it. At PodCamp, that team includes John Leschinski, who’s been leading the event for 11 years. He started as a graphic designer and eventually took over to keep the event running strong.
In the early days, PodCamp focused more on marketing and social media. Now? Podcasting has taken centre stage. More creators are turning to podcasting to share their expertise, build their brand, and connect with their communities.
John’s biggest advice? Just start.
People wait for the perfect setup, the perfect episode, the perfect moment. But you’ll never know what your podcast can be unless you put it out there. Podcasting isn’t always a full-time job, but it’s a passion that can grow into something bigger.
His perspective was echoed by many at PodCamp. A podcast doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful, and the most important step is simple: just begin
One of the biggest takeaways from PodCamp was how much incredible Canadian content is out there, but how little recognition it gets. Unlike in the U.S., where podcasting is a booming industry, many Canadian podcasters operate independently and rely on community support and word-of-mouth to grow their audiences.
That’s why it’s so important to highlight and celebrate the voices shaping Canada’s podcasting landscape. Whether it’s an emerging creator or an established show, every listener, share, and review helps amplify Canadian stories.
Want to help Canada’s podcasting scene grow? Take a listen. Here are some podcasts and content creators the team brought back from Podcamp:
👉 The Amber Mac Show – Coverage on the latest in tech, business, and digital news from the Canadian legend herself, Amber Mac.
👉 100 ways to make $100K – Get the best business insights and a dose of energy and inspiration with Javon and his guests.
👉 BlackCanadianCreators – Sherley curates and shares powerful stories from Black creators across Canada. Tune in and discover voices that inspire!
👉 Front Burner from CBC – Daily news podcast to keep up to help us navigate what’s happening and navigate unprecedented times in Canada.
👉 The Produce Stand Podcast – A fan-driven show celebrating Letterkenny and Shoresy with episode recaps, character deep dives, and plenty of humour.
👉 The Insomnia Project – A podcast with calm, everyday chats to help you unwind and fall asleep.
👉 The Who & How Club – Real talks where Arys Déjan and guests explore personal stories, life journeys, and what shapes who we are.
PodCamp Toronto reminded us of something important: Canada is full of storytellers. Whether you’re a podcaster, writer, business owner, or listener, we all have a role in strengthening Canadian content.
And if there’s one thing John made clear, it’s this: every creator needs their own website.
You’re stuck at the whims of whatever billionaire buys the social media platform you’re using. A website gives you control over your brand and audience.
For podcasters—and anyone else with an idea worth sharing—a website is more than just a place to host content. It’s a platform you own, a hub for your audience, and a way to make sure your voice is always heard.
At WHC, we’re here to help. Whether you’re launching a podcast, blog, or business, it all starts with choosing a domain name and web hosting.
🇨🇦 The world needs more Canadian content. Let’s go!
