*📜 Plan description

WP Premium Standard is aimed at site owners and small businesses that need more capacity than a single small site and want the flexibility to run several WordPress installations on one optimised account.
It increases SSD storage to 100 GB, removes the fixed data transfer limit in favour of effectively unlimited bandwidth under fair use rules and allows what is described as unlimited websites, with a recommendation in the legal notes that a reasonable maximum for performance is around three production sites on this tier.
Physical memory is listed as 2 GB, and the resource table shows unlimited domain aliases and subdomains, 10 FTP accounts, 10 MySQL databases, 100 mailboxes and up to 50 mailing lists, which makes the plan comfortable for a cluster of blogs, a brochure site plus a separate landing page system, or a main store alongside test environments.
A promotional free domain registration or transfer for the first year remains part of the package, and every hosted site can be secured with a free SSL certificate, providing HTTPS by default.
As a WP Premium plan, Standard also includes an allowance of two WordPress support incidents per month, effectively doubling the pool of specialist time compared to the Basic tier so you can request assistance with tasks like debugging plugin conflicts, fixing update failures, cleaning up compromised installations or diagnosing performance anomalies.
The headline month to month price is 64.99 CAD, but the best value comes from the three year prepaid term where the effective rate falls to 42.24 CAD per month, with intermediate 15 percent and 25 percent discounts on one and two year terms, respectively, offering more choice in how you structure payments.
This configuration is well suited to designers, freelancers and growing businesses that want to concentrate several active WordPress sites with higher storage and memory headroom and a clearer commitment of WordPress specific expertise in the support channel.

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.
