📄 Editorial Review

HostUpon is a Canadian-owned, privately held web hosting company based in Toronto, Ontario, active on the market since around 2007 and serving customers worldwide. The positioning is clear: fast, secure and relatively affordable hosting, with a strong emphasis on in-house support from Canada, an energy-efficient platform and a straightforward product lineup that can cover everything from a single small site to heavier business workloads.

The portfolio covers the classic range of hosting products: shared website hosting, WordPress hosting, cloud hosting, VPS, reseller hosting, dedicated servers, plus domain registration, SSL certificates and backup services. All mainstream services are built around cPanel, pure-SSD storage and a stack tuned for PHP-based applications such as WordPress, Joomla and other popular CMSs.

Shared / "Website" hosting

Their core shared hosting is sold under Starter, Business and Premium plans. All three are built on "high performance SSD disk space" and offer unlimited storage and bandwidth, unlimited MySQL databases and a free domain registration or transfer when ordering on longer billing cycles. Even the entry Starter plan is suitable for a basic site and email, while Business and Premium are designed for multiple websites and heavier use.

Mail hosting is integrated: Starter includes a limited pool of email accounts, whereas Business and Premium allow unlimited email addresses with webmail access. A drag-and-drop SitePad website builder with hundreds of templates, Softaculous one-click installer, free website migration, FFmpeg for streaming, and options for private SSL and a Premium Backup Service are part of the shared hosting environment. CPU and RAM allocations increase with each tier, so higher plans not only add features but also allocate more resources for busier sites.

WordPress hosting

HostUpon also operates specialized WordPress hosting plans, again with several tiers. These packages offer SSD disk space per plan (for example 40–60 GB on the mid and higher tiers), the ability to host multiple WordPress sites, unlimited email accounts, free domain registration or transfer, and integrated WordPress-specific features: one-click installer, free WordPress migration, a dedicated WordPress security firewall, LiteSpeed/LSCache performance optimizations and free private SSL certificates.
WordPress plans are positioned for customers who want a managed feeling without giving up cPanel access. They are hosted in the Toronto data center, and include the same 30-day money-back guarantee that applies to shared hosting.

Cloud hosting

For sites that have outgrown shared resources, HostUpon markets managed cloud hosting under Cloud-25, Cloud-50 and Cloud-100 plans. These plans provide defined RAID-protected SSD disk allocations (for example 25, 50 or 100 GB), fixed bandwidth quotas, unlimited MySQL databases on higher tiers, unlimited email accounts and addon domains, and free SSL certificates.

Cloud hosting runs on CloudLinux with pure-SSD storage and LiteSpeed caching. The environment is fully managed: cPanel is included, kernel and OS updates are handled by HostUpon, and priority support is part of the offer. The platform is hosted in a Toronto data center with multiple upstream carriers and a three-network backbone, aiming at higher reliability and performance than classic shared plans.

VPS hosting

Their VPS hosting is aimed at customers needing more isolation and control. VPS plans run on pure-SSD storage and come with full root access, along with cPanel and WHM. The default software stack is based on CentOS with PHP, MySQL, Apache, CSF firewall and ModSecurity preconfigured.

Billing is flexible: customers can pay month-to-month or commit for up to three years in exchange for discounts. HostUpon emphasizes that there are no contracts for monthly billing, and that plans can be upgraded without downtime. Free migration from another provider is included, and an optional Premium Backup Service is available for incremental off-site backups of the entire VPS.

Reseller hosting

The reseller hosting line targets agencies and entrepreneurs who want to sell hosting under their own brand. These plans are cPanel/WHM-based, with the ability to create multiple individual cPanel accounts, bundle a free domain on longer terms and leverage the same SSD infrastructure as standard shared hosting.

Reseller plans are explicitly covered by the 30-day money-back guarantee, making them relatively low-risk for users who want to test the waters before switching existing client sites.

Dedicated servers

At the top end, HostUpon offers dedicated servers for customers needing dedicated CPU, RAM and storage. These servers are described as the fastest platform in their lineup, with custom firewall configurations, cPanel and WHM, and the possibility to tailor resources for specific workloads.

Dedicated hosting is housed in the same Toronto facility and benefits from multiple network carriers and SSD storage. It is positioned for high-traffic sites, applications that cannot share resources with others and businesses that need predictable performance.

Add-ons, domains and SSL

Across these products, HostUpon also sells domain names (with one free registration or transfer for the first year on many 1–3-year hosting terms), SSL certificates, premium backup services and other add-ons. Domains remain in the customer’s name, and after the free first year they renew at regular rates. SSL is available as both integrated (for some WordPress and cloud plans) and as separate paid options.

Overall, the impression is of a Canadian-centric provider with a relatively complete product stack, optimized for users who want cPanel, SSD, free migration and in-house support in one place, rather than ultra-low promotional pricing or exotic infrastructure features.
