BlackSun Standard, CAD 11.04/mo. on Linux Shared

The Standard shared hosting plan steps up from Basic to support busier sites and multiple projects under one account while still staying affordable. It includes 100GB of SSD storage, which is enough to host several medium-sized websites with their associated images, downloadable files and databases, and its bandwidth allocation is listed as unlimited, allowing typical small-business or multi-site traffic levels without strict transfer caps, subject to reasonable use guidelines. Websites are described as unlimited, with a recommended maximum of around three sites so that each property continues to perform well within the plan’s resource envelope. This tier upgrades physical memory to 2GB, giving PHP applications, content management systems and ecommerce plugins more breathing room for caching and concurrent visitors compared to the entry plan. Domain aliases, subdomains, MySQL databases and FTP accounts are expanded significantly, supporting more complex setups, such as staging environments, development subdomains and additional web applications. The plan still includes a free domain registration or transfer for the first year, meaning one primary domain can be registered or brought over at no extra initial cost, and every hosted site can benefit from free SSL certificates and one-click WordPress installation through cPanel. For email, the Standard plan offers 100 mailboxes, enabling separate addresses for departments, staff and role-based aliases, as well as more mailing lists for basic announcements or newsletters. It fits agencies managing a handful of client sites, local companies that run multiple brands or microsites, and users who want more headroom for growth without jumping straight to a high-end solution.

All shared hosting plans run on Canadian servers using SSD storage and CloudLinux OS, providing resource isolation and a familiar cPanel interface for day-to-day management. Each plan includes full daily backups powered by Veeam so that site files and databases can be restored if something goes wrong, along with free SSL certificates so every domain can be served over HTTPS without additional license fees. Multi-layer security combines integrated server firewalls, drive-level encryption, dynamic IP blocking, dual firewalls, reinforced DDoS protection, virus scanning and brute-force defense to help keep sites stable and safe. Customers have access to DNS management, SSH/SFTP on supported plans, Softaculous one-click script installer, one-click WordPress, and a full suite of visitor statistics including Webalizer, AWStats, Analog and access to raw logs for deeper analysis. Bandwidth on the higher tiers is described as unlimited within reasonable use and subject to an acceptable use policy, which is intended to support the typical needs of small and medium-sized sites rather than abusive traffic patterns. Canadian technical support is available by phone, ticket and other channels to assist with plan changes, DNS pointing, email configuration and common application issues, and new hosting accounts are usually provisioned within minutes so projects can go live quickly. A 30-day money-back guarantee on web-hosting plans gives new customers time to test performance, features and support, while tiered pre-paid discounts reward those who are ready to commit for longer terms.
