Founded in 1998, Canadian Web Hosting offers web services for multiple types of online businesses. Among their partners, we may mention: Citrix, VMWare, Dell, Supermicro or Juniper.

The company specializes in the following web products:

• Shared Hosting;
• Reseller Hosting;
• VPS Hosting;
• Cloud Hosting;
• Dedicated Servers;
• E-mail Hosting;
• SSL Certificates;

Shared hosting plans include a selection of unlimited features: bandwidth, e-mail accounts, subdomains, parked domains, add-on domains (available for the advanced-level plan). For free, customers will benefit from features like an SSL certificate, cPanel migration, as well as the free domain (available for the advanced-level plan).

Reseller plans are SSAE 16 Type II certified. Customers can choose from plans that include between 5 to 50 cPanel accounts. Customers also get a number of unlimited features included in the plans. Beside the ones incorporated in the shared hosting packages, these also include:

• Unlimited MySQL;
• Unlimited FTP accounts;

Enterprise-grade VPS servers are based on SSD drives and fully redundant, including virtualization software powered by CACloud infrastructure. All VPS plans include full root access and free choice of OS (Windows free is not included).

Based on Intel processors, dedicated servers include unlimited data traffic, root access and the possibility to choose the geographic distribution that is more suitable for you (you can choose between Vancouver or Toronto data center). Dedicated servers are fully configurable in case customers want to customize them. Storage is based on HDD or SSD drives, all servers being configured on Software RAID.

💰 Price & Cost

Their products come at affordable prices, although after the renewal is made, products can seem rather pricey. Canadian Web Hosting promises no long-term contracts or hidden fees added to the customers’ purchases.

Plan cancellation can be made within 60 days from the moment of purchase, which is double the standard time provided by the majority of companies on the market (i.e. 30 days).

⌛ Reliability

The company commits to the standard 99.9% uptime guarantee for their services. At the same time, they offer the guarantee of issuing customers a credit in case they encounter any downtime with their website.

✍️ Customer Support

Customers can get in contact with customer service on the toll-free phone, e-mail or live chat. Support is available 24/7/365, which is a good feature especially for international customers. As additional support resources, customers can access their video tutorials, knowledgebase and FAQ section.

🔨 Control Panel

Canadian Web Hosting uses the features and tools integrated in cPanel, but in case of VPS servers, customers have the possibility to choose from several control panels.
