*📜 Plan description

Includes CloudFlare acceleration, proactive server monitoring, WAF, nightly backups available, one-click app installer for WordPress/Joomla/OpenCart/PhpBB/PrestaShop/Magento, Git support, and instant setup with free migration from cPanel providers without downtime. Canadian data residency is guaranteed; all servers are in Canada and powered by green energy. The lowest advertised price applies on longer terms (3-year prepay). Annual or longer billing includes 1 free domain registration or transfer for the first term; monthly billing is available at a higher rate. Dedicated IPs are available as an add-on. Feature set is designed for basic personal sites and small projects that want a low monthly cost while preserving growth headroom, email reliability, and a modern control panel experience.

All shared plans from this provider emphasize Canadian hosting with data kept within national borders, 24/7/365 support that targets ticket replies within minutes (including weekends/holidays), a 30-day money-back guarantee, 99.9% uptime, daily backups (optional on Starter), free SSL, CloudFlare partnership for acceleration/DDoS protection, and an intuitive cPanel interface to create emails, MySQL, FTP, subdomains, and manage backups. Accounts are activated instantly, migrations are handled by staff, and pricing is always in CAD.

📄 Editorial Review

CanSpace Solutions is a Canadian web hosting and domain provider focused on customers who want hosting, billing, support, servers, and data residency inside Canada. The company has operated officially since 2005, is privately held, and serves individuals, small businesses, agencies, public-sector organizations, universities, and larger Canadian companies. Their strongest identity is simple: Canadian infrastructure, Canadian-dollar billing, Canadian support, and customer data kept on Canadian soil.

The company is also a CIRA-certified .ca registrar, which makes CanSpace more than a basic hosting reseller. Customers can register, transfer, renew, and manage domains directly, with DNS management, DNSSEC, domain forwarding, registrar lock, and WHOIS privacy for .ca domains. Their domain portfolio includes .ca, .com, .org, .net, .ai, .io, .dev, .tech, .shop, .store, .app, .online and many other extensions. They also handle TBR / To Be Released .ca domains, which is useful for customers trying to catch expiring Canadian domain names.

The main product line includes Shared Hosting, WordPress Hosting, Reseller Hosting, VPS Hosting, Dedicated Servers, Email Hosting, Domains, SSL Certificates, and custom infrastructure or development services. This makes CanSpace suitable for simple websites, business email, WordPress projects, agencies hosting client accounts, and organizations that need managed Canadian VPS or dedicated server infrastructure.

Their shared hosting plans use SSD storage and include cPanel, SSL, email accounts, MySQL databases, free migration, a free domain with annual or longer terms, SiteJet AI website builder, and one-click installers for applications such as WordPress, WooCommerce, Joomla, Drupal, PrestaShop, OpenCart, Magento, and phpBB. The Starter plan is suitable for smaller sites, while Medium and Professional raise the resource limits substantially and add stronger SSL coverage, unlimited domains, unlimited bandwidth, unlimited mailboxes, and developer-oriented tools. Medium and Professional also include Cloudflare acceleration, and the higher tiers are a better fit for multi-domain hosting.

WordPress Hosting follows the same Starter, Medium, and Professional plan structure, but the stack is tuned specifically for WordPress. It includes one-click WordPress installation, WordPress migration, server-level caching, Nginx acceleration, NVMe/SSD storage, current PHP and MySQL versions, WordPress-focused security, DDoS protection, and nightly backups on Medium and Professional plans. This is a good match for Canadian WordPress websites that need easier management without moving to a full VPS.

Reseller Hosting is built for agencies, developers, designers, and small hosting businesses. It is white-label, includes WHM access, allows each client to receive their own cPanel account, supports private nameservers, and includes tools for creating custom hosting packages. Bronze includes up to 15 accounts, Gold up to 30 accounts, and Titanium includes 50 accounts with additional accounts available at extra cost. Gold and Titanium include SSL coverage for client accounts, while Bronze treats SSL as an optional add-on. Resellers remain responsible for their own end-user support, while CanSpace handles server-level support, infrastructure, security, backups, and maintenance.

VPS Hosting is fully managed when ordered with cPanel/WHM and is aimed at customers who need dedicated resources, root access, stronger performance, and the ability to scale without moving directly to a dedicated server. Plans range from 4 CPU cores, 8 GB RAM, 75 GB SSD, and a 400 Mbps port up to 24 CPU cores, 96 GB RAM, 400 GB SSD, and a 3 Gbps port. All VPS plans include unlimited bandwidth, DDoS protection, dedicated resources, and Canadian hosting. Bare Linux or Windows VPS plans are self-managed, which is important for customers who do not want to pay for cPanel or need a non-standard server setup.

Dedicated Servers are fully managed when running cPanel/WHM on AlmaLinux. They include Intel Xeon hardware, ECC memory on higher tiers, RAID-redundant storage, full root access, DDoS protection, CSF/LFD firewalls, Web Application Firewall configuration, proactive monitoring, and backups. Server plans start with smaller Xeon systems and scale up to dual Xeon configurations with 24 cores / 48 threads and 192 GB RAM. Windows Server is available on dedicated servers, but Windows and bare Linux servers are self-managed unless otherwise arranged.

CanSpace also sells Business Email Hosting, which includes custom-domain email, webmail, IMAP/POP3, spam and virus protection, SSL-secured access, and hosting included in the same plan structure. Email can be purchased separately, but it is also included with standard hosting plans.

Their SSL Certificates are Sectigo-issued and include Single Domain SSL, Wildcard SSL, and Enterprise EV SSL options. Free SSL is already included with many hosting packages, but paid SSL is useful for customers that need warranty-backed certificates, wildcard coverage, or extended validation.

The public website is modern, responsive, and available in English. The client-area interface includes a broader language selector: English, Arabic, Azerbaijani, Catalan, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Persian, French, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Macedonian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, and Ukrainian. Pricing and billing remain in Canadian dollars.

😁 Recommended host
I work for a consulting company doing work for a Canadian crown corporation so we had very specific requirements with regards to data privacy, security, etc, in addition to of course speed and reliability. Ultimately we are handing this project back to the government so the performance of the hosting provider reflects on our company as well. I'd just like to say that the sales team at CanSpace really made the effort to answer all of our questions in great detail and their service has met and exceeded expectations in all aspects. We'll definitely be working with them for all of our future projects.

😁 Best host in Canada!
As a result of the coronavirus crisis we have (temporarily) moved all our operations online and needed to beef up our website. We were paying a fortune with our last host and site speeds were terrible and costing us business. We switched to CanSpace and within a day they had us fully migrated. We are actually paying LESS than before, and our site is performing way better. The migration was a pretty complicated one as we weren't even coming from a cPanel-based host, but they did it all for free and everything is working 100%.

😁 Great service
I was referred to CanSpace by a friend who has been with them for several years. I was having email issues with my old host as a ton of people were not receiving my emails. Switching to CanSpace resolved this completely and I no longer have to wonder whether or not someone received my email. Site migration went smoothly as well.
