*📜 Plan description
DNS hosting - complete zone file management is a free DNS product with no setup fee and no monthly fee. It provides a proprietary DNS zone file management interface developed by Namespro engineers and domain specialists. The plan gives account-level access to modify records in real time and is intended for domain owners who need hands-on DNS control rather than only changing name server settings. It includes unlimited A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, SRV, and custom FORWARDER records, plus compatibility examples for Google Apps, Office 365, Wix, Weebly, SquareSpace, and Shopify.
Namespro DNS hosting gives full control of a domain DNS zone file. The tool supports Host A records, IPv6 AAAA records, mail exchanger MX records with individual priority values, CNAME aliases, TXT records, SRV records, and custom FORWARDER records. The custom forwarder can redirect a main domain or any subdomain to an existing URL. The DNS system is intended for users who understand zone file settings, and it is separate from simply setting external name servers for a domain hosted elsewhere. It is available inside the Namespro account, has real time zone file updates, and is compatible with Google Apps, Office 365, Wix, Weebly, SquareSpace, and Shopify setups. The DNS network is anycast and cloud based, with unlimited records listed for the supported record types. Setup fee and monthly fee are both free, and customer support is shown as 24/7/365. Support is handled through tickets and account-based case history, with sales, technical, customer service, and general categories available. Normal ticket response time is kept within 1.5 business hours under ordinary conditions, and the hosting tables mark customer support as 24/7/365. A knowledge base is available before opening a ticket, and account login keeps requests tracked for later review. Payments are processed in Canadian dollars, with Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, cheque, and money order accepted. Domain and hosting services are managed from the Namespro account area, with webmail and support access linked from the account navigation.

📄 Editorial Review
Namespro.ca is a Canadian domain registrar and shared hosting provider operated by Namespro Solutions Inc. The company has been active since 2003, is a CIRA-certified .ca registrar, and is also an ICANN-accredited registrar under IANA ID 1895. Their core strength is domain registration, especially for Canadian customers, with hosting and email services added around that registrar-focused business model.Namespro is not a large cloud or dedicated-server provider. Their current portfolio is concentrated around domain registration, Linux shared hosting, Windows shared hosting, email hosting, DNS hosting, Private WHOIS, Web3 domain search/management, webmail, DNS zone management, and account-based domain administration. There is no active VPS, dedicated server, reseller hosting, managed cloud, colocation, or enterprise infrastructure line visible in the current product structure, so the company fits best as a registrar-first provider with shared hosting and DNS/email add-ons.
Their Linux shared hosting plans are built on cPanel and Apache. The lineup includes Classic, Plus, and Ultimate, with unlimited disk space, unlimited bandwidth, unlimited email accounts, unlimited MySQL databases, unlimited FTP accounts, unlimited subdomains, SSL included, SEO/marketing tools, one-click application installs, PHP, Perl/CGI, Python, Zend Optimizer, ionCube, cron jobs, IP blocking, hotlink/leech protection, password-protected directories, AWStats, raw log access, full DNS zone control, and self-served backups. The main plan difference is the number of hosted domains: one domain, three domains, or unlimited domains.
Their Windows shared hosting is aimed at users who need the Microsoft hosting stack. These plans run on Microsoft IIS and use Plesk. Features include ASP, ASP.NET, PHP, JavaScript, MySQL, optional MS-SQL databases, MS Access support, FTP over SSL, web file manager, custom error documents, protected directories, AWStats, Webalizer, DNS zone control, domain aliases, optional unique IP, and 24/7/365 support. The Windows range includes Value, Standard, Professional, and Premium, from single-domain hosting up to 50 hosted domains.
Namespro’s Email Hosting is useful for customers who need mailboxes without a full website hosting package. The service includes web administration, forwarding, aliases, autoresponders, HTTPS webmail, POP/SMTP, IMAP, alternate SMTP port support, spam filtering, and virus scanning. Domain registrations include a free starter mailbox, while paid mailbox storage plans are available for larger needs.
The DNS Hosting service is one of the stronger extras. It is free with domain registrations and includes full DNS zone control for A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, SRV, and custom forwarder records. Their own proprietary DNS zone management tool is easy to use for domain owners who need practical control without moving DNS to a separate provider. DNS hosting also uses an anycast cloud-based DNS network and supports real-time zone updates.
The website is available in English and has an older, traditional layout. It works, but it feels from the "old days" of hosting: narrow design, image-heavy tables, and limited modern mobile-first polish. That does not automatically make the service weak, but it is noticeable compared with newer registrar and hosting dashboards.

😠 Amateurs. They are a backwater hosting provider who thinks being Canadian is a competitive advantage. Founded in 2003 and haven't evolved their thinking or their service approach. Here is how they handle the holiday period, right from their customer service portal. Better not have a problem over the holidays:
"It is our strong suggestion that all requests should be made before Dec 16th or after Jan 3rd. Your understanding is much appreciated."
Enjoy your 2.5 weeks, boys! Wouldn't want you working too hard!
