Cloud Servers FAQ

Unlike Web Hosting (also commonly referred to as shared hosting), Cloud Servers give you access to dedicated resources on a shared physical web server. This means you have more control, reliability and performance than you would with regular web hosting.

Unlike Dedicated Servers, Cloud Servers share the same hardware with other Cloud Server 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 Cloud Servers can deliver similar performance to entry-level dedicated servers at a fraction of the cost. Cloud servers 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 Cloud servers.
  • You should upgrade to Cloud 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 (as shown in your cPanel), a Cloud server 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, Cloud servers 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 Cloud Server if you require superior reliability. Unlike web hosting, Cloud Servers 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 Cloud Servers your go-to solution for demanding websites and web applications, including:
  • We use exclusively 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.
  • Hosted in Canada, on Canadian IPs and backed by our expert 24/7 Support.
Linux Cloud Servers are your best choice for most websites, and include the industry-leading cPanel control panel. 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, 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 Cloud Servers 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 Cloud Server solution.
Managed Cloud Servers are fully optimized and maintained by WHC experts to ensure best performance and reliability. They include the industry-leading cPanel Control Panel and our 24/7 support.

Unmanaged Cloud Servers must be maintained by the client. WHC still ensures hardware and network availability, while managing the virtualization layer.
Absolutely! Transferring your website to Web Hosting Canada normally involves two steps: transferring your domain registration, and transferring your web site content. Our team can help perform both operations for you, free of charge. Simply drop us a line to request a Professional Site Transfer.

If you’d like to find out more about transfers or if you’d prefer to complete the transfer yourself, consult our Knowledgebase Article about How to transfer your website to Web Hosting Canada.
Yes! Simply order them from your Client Area. Additional IP addresses are available at an added cost, and may require a valid justification.

Keep your inbox junk-free with the New Enterprise Anti-Spam

Web Hosting Canada (WHC), in partnership with SpamExperts, is proud to announce the immediate availability of the Enterprise Anti-Spam system to help protect email inboxes from viruses, malware, ransomware, and junk.

Enterprise Anti-Spam applies its proprietary self-learning technologies to eliminate spam and threats before they reach your inbox. It's a self-optimizing solution, in that it adapts itself as it scans your emails, ensuring a timely protection against new threats.

Enterprise Anti-Spam can be activated in just a few clicks and is automatically configured to protect your email without any additional setup. If you do want to configure advanced email rules and to view quarantined emails, a complete control panel is made available in your Client Area.

Thanks to its Canadian Cloud-based technology, Enterprise Anti-Spam also acts as an extra level of redundancy for your email. If your email service were to become unavailable for whatever reason, the Anti-Spam Cloud will automatically queue your email and deliver it once your email service becomes available again.

The results so far have been dramatic: most clients have noticed a 99% reduction of spam and malware in their inboxes upon activating the service. This translates into hours of saved productivity each month, even before considering the threat and malware protection component, which can prevent potentially disastrous ransomware from penetrating your corporate ecosystem. Email continues to be one of the top attack vectors for new infections, and all Canadian businesses should develop a comprehensive strategy to thwart this threat.

Enterprise Anti-Spamis available for a free 30-day trial, and renews for as little as 3.89$/month, and is included for free with our Enterprise Web Hosting plan. It protects up to 100 email addresses on the same domain.

Try Enterprise Anti-Spam today, and say goodbye to junk.

1,000,000$ in funding for community projects to build a better online Canada

As an accredited provider of .CA domain names, Web Hosting Canada is proud to associate itself to CIRA as they announce one million dollars in funding to support community projects to build a better online Canada through the Community Investment Program.

What is the Community Investment Program?

  • The Community Investment Program targets its support to four program areas:
  • Since 2014, 78 innovative projects from across Canada have been selected to share in a total of $3.2 million in funding. In 2017 alone, the CIP will fund $1-million worth of projects. Typical grants range from $25,000-$50,000. No grant exceeds $100,000.
  • Right now, there are more than 2.5 million registered .CA domain names. Everyone with a current .CA domain helps support the important work made possible by CIRA’s CIP since a portion of the proceeds of .CA registrations goes toward funding the CIP.

Who can apply?

  • Organizations recognized by the Canada Revenue Agency as registered charities
  • Not-for-profit organizations; and,
  • Academics and researchers affiliated with a Canadian university

How can I apply?

Please consult the Application Guidelines for more details on funding and how to apply. Applications for this round of funding will be accepted until March 1, 2017.
