*📜 Plan description

Mid-tier shared hosting for multiple projects and growing businesses that need more headroom. Hosts unlimited websites with 30 GB NVMe storage and unlimited bandwidth. A free domain is included and SSL certificates are free for every site. Backups are taken daily with 2-week retention, and a one-click backup restore tool is available. “Business Features” raise performance with 2x more CPU and RAM allocation than the entry plan, plus unlimited addon domains for organizing separate sites. Developers get SSH/SFTP, Git preinstalled, an in-house staging tool to clone and push changes safely, and per-site PHP version control. WordPress and 400+ other apps install in one click; HTTP/3 and modern PHP are supported by LiteSpeed and CloudLinux. Migration from any provider is complimentary with zero-downtime care. Security includes DDoS protection, free malware scanning/removal, free CDN integration, and hardened isolation. The listed monthly figure reflects the lowest effective price on a longer term with transparent renewal shown at checkout; no setup fee.

All dotCanada shared plans advertise Canadian data centers (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Kitchener/Waterloo, Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax), 30-day money-back guarantee, and a written 100% uptime guarantee backed by SLA credits. Support is 24×7 via live chat and helpdesk with fast first-response targets. Every plan includes free SSL, unlimited bandwidth, website migration, multiple Canadian locations, cPanel, one-click installers, and optional free CDN integration to accelerate delivery.

📄 Editorial Review

dotCanada (founded in 2002, with Richard Madison as current CEO ) is a Canadian-owned hosting provider focused on reliability, fair pricing, and fast, human support. Their stack leans on CloudLinux, LiteSpeed, MariaDB, 100% SSD storage, and free one-click Cloudflare integration, which together aim for quick page loads and strong isolation on shared environments. The company positions itself as a "homegrown" alternative with Canadian infrastructure, billing in CAD, and a sustainability program (double carbon offsets and tree planting).

As of 15th November 2025, dotCanada seems to have the website full of errors pages and a sign of a big decline.

Shared & WordPress Hosting cover the core small-business needs: cPanel, unlimited bandwidth (fair usage), free SSL, automated backups, staging tools, multiple PHP versions, SSH/SFTP, Git, and one-click installers. For WordPress, they highlight performance optimizations, a staging workflow, and developer-friendly features.

Reseller Hosting is fully white-label with custom nameservers, branded cPanel, WHM/WHMCS integration, daily backups (30-day retention), wildcard SSL for all domains, malware scanning, and a WordPress Toolkit for bulk management—designed to help agencies launch a turnkey hosting business.

Email Hosting provides domain-branded mail with webmail, spam/virus filtering, CalDAV calendars and CardDAV contacts, and migration assistance.

Domains include free WHOIS privacy, domain locking, automatic renewal controls, and management in their hub, with competitive .ca and .com pricing.

Road-mapped offerings include Cloud VPS and Dedicated Servers ("Soon"), while current cloud servers are advertised in multiple North American cities.

😠 For the last six weeks have been trying to edit the body of my home page. Trying to get Dot Canada to help is like trying to get Donald Trump to stop lying. Every day it is a different excuse as to why they can't help. Once an update was in place they say try. I try and does not work. They come back, try again, and still does not work. Try to reach them by their 800 number and they don't answer. I go through this every year when I try to update my website. Real hassle to update and they offer next to nothing in support. They are great,, though, at billing my credit card for annual fees, in fact last year they billed me on two separate occasions and it was a hassle trying to get the overcharge back. If I could rate them lower that '1' I would. So it is buyer beware with these folks. They are only interested in your money and not providing support. So here I sit, six weeks since my first request for assistance and still nothing.
