*📜 Plan description

WP Premium Basic is the entry managed WordPress hosting tier tailored to individuals and small organisations that want a single production site with predictable performance and hands on assistance.
The plan allocates 25 GB of SSD storage for your site files, databases and email, a monthly bandwidth allowance of 50 GB and one hosted website, which is ideal for a main business site, portfolio or content rich personal blog that expects modest to moderate traffic.
The comparison table lists 1 GB of dedicated physical memory, 5 domain aliases, 5 subdomains, 5 FTP accounts, 5 MySQL databases, 25 mailboxes, 5 mailing lists and an email attachment size limit of 50 MB, so there is ample capacity to run a modern content management system while keeping development or test instances separate.
A free domain registration or transfer for the first year is included under the promotional terms, and every account receives a free SSL certificate so visitors always connect over HTTPS without extra licensing costs; the storage is SSD based, which improves responsiveness for dynamic pages and database heavy applications.
As part of the WordPress Premium proposition, Basic includes one WordPress support incident per month, giving you a fixed block of expert technical time to deal with plugin conflicts, update errors, theme issues and other platform problems that go beyond simple hosting questions.
This incident allowance is in addition to standard hosting support and is aimed at users who want help with the internal workings of their WordPress installation rather than just server side tasks.
Pricing for WP Premium Basic is presented with a standard monthly rate of 39.99 CAD, but the lowest effective price comes from choosing a three year prepaid term where the cost drops to 25.99 CAD per month; intermediate discounts of 15 percent on one year and 25 percent on two year commitments are also advertised so you can trade flexibility for savings.
The plan is a logical step up from generic shared hosting for site owners who rely heavily on WordPress and appreciate having clearly defined resources and specialist help bundled into the package.

All WP Premium hosting plans at this provider are built on Linux servers using CloudLinux OS, cPanel and Softaculous to give an optimized environment for WordPress sites.
They include one click WordPress installation, automatic core updates, hardened PHP, kernel live patching, daily Veeam backups, free SSL certificates, a Canadian server location and multi layer security features such as dual firewalls, DDoS mitigation, brute force protection, virus scanning and ongoing monitoring.
Each plan also comes with DNS management, SSH and SFTP access, multiple PHP versions, raw log access and visitor statistics tools so you can tune performance and analyze traffic.
Promo terms commonly bundle one free domain registration or domain transfer for the first year and apply long term discounts of 15 percent on annual prepayments, 25 percent on two year terms and 35 percent on three year terms compared with paying month to month, and the plans are covered by a thirty day money back guarantee for web hosting along with a 99.995 percent uptime commitment backed by redundant power, cooling and network connectivity in a professionally managed Canadian data centre.
Friendly Canadian support is positioned as a key benefit, with phone, ticket and chat assistance available, including round the clock help by email, so small businesses can focus on content and marketing while the hosting team looks after the underlying infrastructure and WordPress specific maintenance.

📄 Editorial Review

BlackSun is a veteran Canadian hosting brand with roots going back to 1998, based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and operating as a division of VDC Virtual Data Corp under the wider MSP Corp umbrella. Over time they have shifted from being "just" a shared hosting provider into more of a regional cloud and infrastructure specialist, while still keeping a clear focus on Canadian data residency and support.

At the front of the catalogue are classic cPanel shared hosting plans aimed at small and medium websites. These are built on SSD storage, include free SSL as standard, one-click WordPress installs, a multi-layer security stack and full daily off-site backups using Veeam with roughly 30 days of restore history. The smallest plan is limited to a single site; higher tiers allow unlimited websites on one account and scale storage up into the hundreds of gigabytes, with some marketing copy referring to capacities up to 1 TB.

WordPress gets a dedicated spotlight through their WP Premium Hosting range. Here BlackSun essentially takes the shared stack and cranks it up: more CPU/RAM and SSD storage, higher bandwidth allocations, a hardened environment (CloudLinux, KernelCare, Imunify360, dual firewalls and reinforced DDoS protection), plus cPanel, Softaculous and a 99.995% uptime target. These plans are clearly aimed at agencies, busy WordPress sites and organisations that want managed WordPress on Canadian infrastructure rather than on a generic global platform.

Above that, they move into cloud and VPS territory. CloudLinux VPS packages emphasise isolation, cPanel/WHM and the same KernelCare/Imunify security approach, but are quoted more as customised builds than as public price tables. Under the broader VDC Cloud Services banner they go further: fully managed virtual servers, Remote Desktop Services, SQL/SharePoint/Exchange application servers, Veeam Cloud backup, firewall/VPN services and managed colocation. That turns BlackSun into a regional cloud vendor for Canadian SMEs and institutions that want their workloads kept inside domestic data centres.

Domains, DNS, SSL, BlackShield web application firewall, a Weebly site builder, SEO add-ons and Microsoft 365 email round out the product set. As a certified .CA registrar they can manage Canadian domains directly, including DNS and renewal/redemption flows.
Overall, BlackSun feels like a security-conscious, infrastructure-aware Canadian host: not the cheapest option, but one that puts serious technology (VMware, triple-redundant storage, Veeam backups, layered security) and local support at the centre of its pitch.
