*📜 Plan description
Business shared hosting is designed for growing sites and small companies that need to run multiple projects under one account. This plan allows hosting of unlimited websites with unlimited SSD disk space and unmetered bandwidth, and it upgrades resource allocation compared to Starter with roughly double the CPU share so dynamic sites load faster under heavier traffic. Customers still receive one free domain registration or transfer on qualifying billing cycles, but the email limit is removed so you can create as many mailboxes as the account resources allow. Business also adds marketing-oriented extras such as search engine submission and more generous limits on databases and add-on domains, making it suitable for agencies or owners running several brands from a single cPanel login.
All HostUpon shared hosting plans are built on SSD-only storage with unlimited disk space and data transfer, managed through the cPanel control panel with 1-click installers for WordPress and many other applications. Every plan includes free website migration from other providers, in-house 24x7 technical support available by ticket, live chat and phone, a 30-day money-back guarantee, and security features suitable for blogs, business sites and simple e-commerce, all hosted in their Toronto, CA data centre.

📄 Editorial Review
HostUpon is a Canadian-owned, privately held web hosting company based in Toronto, Ontario, active on the market since around 2007 and serving customers worldwide. The positioning is clear: fast, secure and relatively affordable hosting, with a strong emphasis on in-house support from Canada, an energy-efficient platform and a straightforward product lineup that can cover everything from a single small site to heavier business workloads.The portfolio covers the classic range of hosting products: shared website hosting, WordPress hosting, cloud hosting, VPS, reseller hosting, dedicated servers, plus domain registration, SSL certificates and backup services. All mainstream services are built around cPanel, pure-SSD storage and a stack tuned for PHP-based applications such as WordPress, Joomla and other popular CMSs.
Shared / "Website" hosting
Their core shared hosting is sold under Starter, Business and Premium plans. All three are built on "high performance SSD disk space" and offer unlimited storage and bandwidth, unlimited MySQL databases and a free domain registration or transfer when ordering on longer billing cycles. Even the entry Starter plan is suitable for a basic site and email, while Business and Premium are designed for multiple websites and heavier use.
Mail hosting is integrated: Starter includes a limited pool of email accounts, whereas Business and Premium allow unlimited email addresses with webmail access. A drag-and-drop SitePad website builder with hundreds of templates, Softaculous one-click installer, free website migration, FFmpeg for streaming, and options for private SSL and a Premium Backup Service are part of the shared hosting environment. CPU and RAM allocations increase with each tier, so higher plans not only add features but also allocate more resources for busier sites.
WordPress hosting
HostUpon also operates specialized WordPress hosting plans, again with several tiers. These packages offer SSD disk space per plan (for example 40–60 GB on the mid and higher tiers), the ability to host multiple WordPress sites, unlimited email accounts, free domain registration or transfer, and integrated WordPress-specific features: one-click installer, free WordPress migration, a dedicated WordPress security firewall, LiteSpeed/LSCache performance optimizations and free private SSL certificates.
WordPress plans are positioned for customers who want a managed feeling without giving up cPanel access. They are hosted in the Toronto data center, and include the same 30-day money-back guarantee that applies to shared hosting.
Cloud hosting
For sites that have outgrown shared resources, HostUpon markets managed cloud hosting under Cloud-25, Cloud-50 and Cloud-100 plans. These plans provide defined RAID-protected SSD disk allocations (for example 25, 50 or 100 GB), fixed bandwidth quotas, unlimited MySQL databases on higher tiers, unlimited email accounts and addon domains, and free SSL certificates.
Cloud hosting runs on CloudLinux with pure-SSD storage and LiteSpeed caching. The environment is fully managed: cPanel is included, kernel and OS updates are handled by HostUpon, and priority support is part of the offer. The platform is hosted in a Toronto data center with multiple upstream carriers and a three-network backbone, aiming at higher reliability and performance than classic shared plans.
VPS hosting
Their VPS hosting is aimed at customers needing more isolation and control. VPS plans run on pure-SSD storage and come with full root access, along with cPanel and WHM. The default software stack is based on CentOS with PHP, MySQL, Apache, CSF firewall and ModSecurity preconfigured.
Billing is flexible: customers can pay month-to-month or commit for up to three years in exchange for discounts. HostUpon emphasizes that there are no contracts for monthly billing, and that plans can be upgraded without downtime. Free migration from another provider is included, and an optional Premium Backup Service is available for incremental off-site backups of the entire VPS.
Reseller hosting
The reseller hosting line targets agencies and entrepreneurs who want to sell hosting under their own brand. These plans are cPanel/WHM-based, with the ability to create multiple individual cPanel accounts, bundle a free domain on longer terms and leverage the same SSD infrastructure as standard shared hosting.
Reseller plans are explicitly covered by the 30-day money-back guarantee, making them relatively low-risk for users who want to test the waters before switching existing client sites.
Dedicated servers
At the top end, HostUpon offers dedicated servers for customers needing dedicated CPU, RAM and storage. These servers are described as the fastest platform in their lineup, with custom firewall configurations, cPanel and WHM, and the possibility to tailor resources for specific workloads.
Dedicated hosting is housed in the same Toronto facility and benefits from multiple network carriers and SSD storage. It is positioned for high-traffic sites, applications that cannot share resources with others and businesses that need predictable performance.
Add-ons, domains and SSL
Across these products, HostUpon also sells domain names (with one free registration or transfer for the first year on many 1–3-year hosting terms), SSL certificates, premium backup services and other add-ons. Domains remain in the customer’s name, and after the free first year they renew at regular rates. SSL is available as both integrated (for some WordPress and cloud plans) and as separate paid options.
Overall, the impression is of a Canadian-centric provider with a relatively complete product stack, optimized for users who want cPanel, SSD, free migration and in-house support in one place, rather than ultra-low promotional pricing or exotic infrastructure features.

😠 We had the company as a hosting provider for nearly 10 years. They were exceptional for almost 9 of them. Something drastically went wrong with this company. Initially, we purchased the unlimited plan (unlimited domains and email addresses). We never changed the plan. The company called it their "Starter Unlimited Plan." They changed the name of the plan later to "Business Plan." We were paying for the unlimited option regardless of what it was called. During the final year of service, the company downgraded our plan to a "Starter" limited plan without consulting with us while still charging us for the unlimited plan and even while increasing the price. Upon our notifying them of this, they would provide no explanation. They would not acknowledge their error. We were paying more than a current Business Plan member was, yet there were only providing us with a starter plan that was the lowest plan they offered. Essentially, the company reduced our service plan while still taking the money for the better plan. The company lacks integrity to say the least.

😁 Best Hosting Company
Signed up yesterday and compelled to read reviews today. For starters, well lets just say past experience has taught me to be careful of services when using live data for long periods of time, like setting up custom installations, customer support service and so on. with other hosts, I've had issues with such details, but not this one. They're Canadian, and so am I. I am proud of the fact we share a country and we also share a friendly outlook type of attitude towards helping people expand what they feel truly passionate about. I truly think this is the case with this company, our interests are united in how we do business and grow as a community of web managers. The pricing is up front and honest, if a little expensive, but definitely worth the payment. Upscaling is gradual and your not sucked in to automatic contracts, a unique feature with this host. They tell you what is wrong if you approach them directly, my experience is new but very welcoming and promising. Cpanel and Ffmpeg is a huge combination of dedication towards building a powerful site both for simple and advanced users. Host Upon offers this in its abundance. In addition to being a great hosting service, host upon is also a great detailed designer of its plans, features and pricing. Everything is separate yet clean and you get notified about everything if anything happens to your service, confirmation emails, verification, simple instructions, friendly support and always a link to the home page if you need it. The client area is very demographic, you need to access something, look no further, hell, they even show you how to install things, give tutorials and log in to every aspect of your site from the home page, and all you need to do is sign in to access what you truly own. Now that, is flexibility! I'll tell you something else about this company, universal language options are available on the bottom of every page, great for international customers and support and chat are also in their abundance, something few companies have the ability to use comfortably. If you're wondering about native speakers for English, they got you covered and state so. Like I said, this company is up front and honest about its policies, something not all corporate services can provide, something that I view as a personal selling point. bottom line is, keep Host Upon in your thoughts, I have too many things to say about this company, I'd rather you personally try it out for yourself and since I am adding a personal no paid guarantee with this review, the only bad thing I have to say about this site is that host upon could use a customer increase. It's newer but experienced and level headed, my kind of host.
