*📜 Plan description
📄 Editorial Review
HostPapa is a Canadian web hosting and cloud-services company established in 2006 by Jamie Opalchuk, its founder and CEO. The privately held HostPapa, Inc. is headquartered in Burlington, Ontario, and has employees distributed across 37 countries. LinkedIn lists 51–200 people at the core company, while a broader workforce estimate places the expanded organisation at approximately 418 employees in 2026. The platform serves more than 500,000 website owners and operates localized services across North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific.What began as small-business web and email hosting has developed into a full product ladder. HostPapa now supplies shared hosting, optimized and managed WordPress, reseller hosting, managed and unmanaged VPS, managed and unmanaged dedicated servers, domain registration, business email, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, website building and design, ecommerce applications, security and off-site backup. Regional sites provide English, French, German and Spanish interfaces, local currencies and a wide set of domestic support numbers.
The shared platform uses NVMe storage and CloudLinux LVE isolation. Every plan includes SSL, Imunify360 malware scanning, a web application firewall and brute-force login protection; most also use a global CDN. These server-level facilities protect accounts from common attacks and resource contention, but customers remain responsible for application updates, passwords and independent copies of important data.
WordPress Hosting is pre-installed and performance-tuned. WP Toolkit controls staging, database access, maintenance mode and routine site administration. WP Essentials supports one site with 25 GB NVMe storage, WP Growth supports five sites with 100 GB and twice the entry resources, and WP Premium supports unlimited sites with 200 GB and four times the baseline allocation. Security and automated-backup allowances become more generous as the plan increases.
Managed WordPress transfers more maintenance and security responsibility to the provider. The standard drag-and-drop builder instead targets users who want more than 100 responsive templates, SEO tools and mobile optimisation without working directly in WordPress. Do-It-For-Me and custom design packages cover customers who want HostPapa to create the site. Ecommerce, content-management, learning-management and business applications extend the catalogue beyond simple brochure websites.
Reseller accounts run on brandable cPanel and WHM. Packages define the permitted cPanel accounts, NVMe storage, CPU, RAM and dedicated IPs, and let the reseller enforce resource limits per customer. Free migration and private nameservers support white-label operation. Advanced tiers include WHMCS or Clientexec billing automation, with the WHMCS licence limited to 250 accounts. The reseller controls pricing and customer relationships while HostPapa operates the platform.
The VPS range combines root access, guaranteed virtual resources, private nameservers, NVMe storage, one or two IP addresses and the VHI VPS panel. Unmanaged configurations scale from small instances to 32 cores, 32 GB RAM and 500 GB storage, with metered or unmetered transfer according to tier. Managed VPS adds cPanel/WHM and assistance with the underlying environment. Software outside the cPanel-supported stack remains outside normal managed support, a boundary developers should understand before installing a custom platform.
HostPapa added Dedicated Server Hosting to the primary catalogue in 2025. Unmanaged servers use flat monthly prices and give the customer full SSH and operating-system responsibility. Managed plans include cPanel, Softaculous, a GlobalSign wildcard SSL certificate, 1 TB of backup storage, system updates, security patches, monitoring, DNS setup and migration. Hardware now ranges from economical Xeon E3 configurations to Ryzen and dual-Xeon machines, with 1 or 10 Gbps ports and substantial transfer allowances.
Professional email can be purchased through HostPapa's own mailbox service, Google Workspace or Microsoft 365. Protection Power and SiteLock add monitoring and response beyond the shared security baseline. Automated Website Backup is a distinct customer-restorable product: it performs daily incremental captures, keeps seven restore points, stores up to 50 GB off-site and can restore a site, database, email or individual file. Continuous RAID-level server backup is disaster protection for HostPapa's infrastructure, not a substitute for this account-level recovery tool.
Domain management is another important part of the all-in-one model. Customers can search hundreds of generic and country extensions, attach a domain to hosting, manage DNS and transfer an existing registration. A free transfer or first-year registration is convenient, but the registrant should keep ownership details current and remember that hosting cancellation does not erase the domain charge. Separating registrar access from day-to-day website credentials is sensible for organisations with several administrators.
Acquisitions have transformed the company. WebServe joined in 2013. Lunarpages, PacificHost and related brands followed in 2019; MezzoHost, HostLabs, SecureLive, Canvas Host, Korax and Data Deposit Box in 2020; and Silicon Valley Web Hosting, iHost, LFC Hosting and UptimeMate in 2021. Osiris, WooCart and Cloud 9 Hosting arrived in 2022, followed by Deluxe Corporation's hosting and logo-design businesses in 2023.
Expansion accelerated again in 2025, when HostPapa completed its purchase of CloudBlue from Ingram Micro and secured a US$130 million syndicated credit facility. CloudBlue brought more than 450 commerce and provisioning integrations for telecom, MSP, reseller and software partners. Tailor Made Servers was acquired on April 27, 2026, and Hostwinds on April 29, 2026. Those transactions expanded dedicated and full-stack capacity in Dallas, Seattle and Amsterdam and added Hostwinds alongside Hostopia, ColoCrossing and CloudBlue within the group.
The expanded group now reaches far beyond the original retail-hosting account. Cloud commerce, wholesale infrastructure, bare metal, security, backup, and multiple acquired hosting brands sit behind the customer-facing service. This provides more technical depth and geographic choice, but acquisitions do not make every platform identical. A buyer moving between shared hosting, a managed VPS, and an acquired dedicated environment should verify where the workload runs, which team supports it, which control panel applies, and whether migration includes application-level testing. The common ownership is useful, while product-specific operating rules still matter.

😠 Big problems with Hostpapa
In my opinion - and that of many others - HostPapa has a multitude of problems with customer service and honesty.
In direct contradiction of ICANN regulations, they will list themselves at the domain name administrative contact. Essentially, they are taking control of your name, and will do everything they can to prevent you transferring it away - unless you pay "renewal" or "unlocking" fees.
ICANN does NOT allow a "losing" registrar to extort money to release a domain name for transfer.
If you want to complain about registry problems, send a copy of your message to the "real" registrar, TuCows. HostPapa is NOT an ICANN-Accredited Registrar.
I believe that HostPapa is a business front for TuCows who is an Accredited Registrar. HostPapa has "offices" in England and France so they can avoid taxes, and appear 'international.'
My advice, based on my experience is: stay away from HostPapa. I really don't care how "green" they appear to be. I don't think they can be trusted. I have removed my names from their clutches, and cancelled all services with them.

🗨 Ian,
I tried to find you in our customer support system and do not recognize you as a client of our service. With respect to your accusations, they are false, misleading and inaccurate.
1) We do not extort money from our clients
2) our clients own their domain names and we do not charge them to "release" them to another registrar.
3) Hostpapa is ICANN-accredited through a subsidiary company - thanks for the support there.
4) Tucows is a supplier to Hostpapa (and good friends of ours BTW..good guys there). We are not a "front" for Tucows - who is a publicly traded Canadian company.
5) With respect to "Green" - we were the pioneer in that space and want every host to be - would be happy to share our certifications in this area.
To all readers - I hope you can read between the lines of random posts on the Internet - shame we have to deal with this with respect to posts such as this.
