    Happy to have our data back in Canada

    We moved our company site and 4 domains to CanSpace after our previous US-based host had repeated downtime. Migration was handled by their support team within a day, no downtime. What sold us was Canadian data residency - our clients are government-adjacent and ask about this. Support tickets get real answers from technicians, usually within the hour. Renewal pricing is what they advertise, no bait-and-switch. Two months in, zero regrets.

    Finally moved to CanSpace

    We moved our business site to CanSpace Solutions after years of rising renewal prices and slow support at a big US host, and the difference has been night and day. Everything is hosted on Canadian servers by a Canadian company, which mattered to us for patriotic reasons, but being PIPEDA compliance is an additional benefit. Their support team answers tickets quickly with actual fixes rather than canned replies, and they migrated our WordPress site and email over for free with no downtime. Pricing is straightforward too: the rate we signed up at is the rate we renew at, with none of the introductory bait-and-switch other hosts pull. CanSpace has been the most reliable web host we've used, and I'd recommend them to any Canadian business or anyone who wants their data kept on Canadian soil.

    Best Canadian VPS and dedicated server hosting we have found

    I run a small software company in British Columbia and we manage infrastructure for a number of client applications, so we needed real VPS and dedicated server hosting rather than shared hosting. We had been split between DigitalOcean and AWS for years, but with everything going on we made the decision to move our servers back onto Canadian soil. Before committing I compared CanSpace against Web Hosting Canada, HostPapa, and a couple of the big US providers. CanSpace was the only one that ticked every box: 100% Canadian owned, every server physically located in Canada, full root access and control on the VPS side, and a fully managed dedicated server option where their team handles the security hardening, updates, and monitoring for us. Provisioning was fast and their support team are actual sysadmins who answer within minutes, not a slow ticket queue. Performance has been rock solid, and paying in Canadian dollars works out cheaper than what we were spending in USD. If you are a Canadian business looking for a VPS or a dedicated server and you care about keeping your data in Canada, CanSpace is the one I would recommend without hesitation. Easily the best Canadian host for serious infrastructure.

    Best Canadian web hosting company for WordPress and data sovereignty

    I work as an IT manager for a mid-sized Ontario law firm and was tasked with finding a Canadian alternative to our existing US-based hosting. We had been split between Bluehost and WP Engine for years. After a few weeks of researching every major Canadian provider, including CanSpace, HostPapa, Web Hosting Canada, and Hostway, CanSpace was the clear winner. They are 100% Canadian-owned, every server is physically located in Canada, and unlike most US hosts their renewal pricing does not jump up after the first term. Their support team handled the migration of our WordPress sites and internal tools in a couple of days with zero downtime. Performance is a noticeable step up from what we were getting in the US, and support response times have been consistently within minutes. For any Canadian business with PIPEDA obligations, or anyone who simply wants their data to stay on Canadian soil, CanSpace is the right choice. Genuinely the best Canadian web host I have used.

    Finally found reliable Canadian WordPress hosting

    I spent way too long researching web hosting companies in Canada before landing on CanSpace. I run two WordPress sites for my business and had been with HostPapa for about 3 years. The performance was OK but their support was painfully slow whenever I actually needed help. CanSpace has been a completely different experience. Both sites loaded noticeably faster from day one, and the one time I had a question about my SSL certificate, their support team got back to me within minutes with a clear answer. The pricing is also very competitive - I'm on their Medium plan and it's less than what I was paying before for fewer features. As a small business owner in Ontario, it's also nice knowing my data is actually staying in Canada. Very happy with the switch.

    Easily the best web hosting company in Canada

    I work for a major university here in Canada so we have sites hosted with almost every web hosting provider in Canada - Web Hosting Canada, HostPapa, etc. While those guys are generally fine, CanSpace has always come out ahead in both performance and support. They really go out of their way to help with even the smallest of issues - going as far as to make design related suggestions that we hadn't even considered ourselves. We're also using WordPress and we find that our sites hosted with CanSpace load faster than with any other provider. Overall we are extremely satisfied with CanSpace and highly recommend them.

    Moving all data back to Canada with CanSpace

    My company now has a mandate to move our business back to Canada wherever possible. We had a fairly complex WordPress based website we were hosting down in the US for nearly 10 years now without any issues, so we were a bit hesitant to touch things. CanSpace made the migration extremely straightforward. Their sales team was great from the start, and their support team was equally as good. Like many other reviewers have said about CanSpace, my only regret is not switching to them sooner. We are now paying in Canadian dollars, supporting a Canadian company, paying less than before, AND getting way better support. Best decision ever. I highly recommend switching from US hosting companies over to CanSpace for every other Canadian company out there.

    Support Canadian businesses!

    I have a small Wordpress-based website for my consulting company. I've been hosting with Godaddy for the last several years without any major issues, but I'm trying to move everything to Canada wherever possible. CanSpace was chosen after a lot of research and great reviews, and their sales team was also very helpful and reassuring. The migration was super straightforward and my business is now fully on Canadian soil!

    Great email host right here in Canada

    I've had my domain and personal email addresses associated with it set up via a hosting provider in the US for the last 10+ years now. Everything was working more or less fine, but I decided I would move my business to a Canadian company wherever possible. I didn't want any email issues so I was reluctant, but CanSpace put all my concerns at ease and migrated everything over seamlessly. There was no downtime at all like they promised, and everything is working exactly as it was before. I'm now paying less than half of what I was before, and also paying in Canadian dollars. I'm extremely happy so far with CanSpace.

    Switched to CanSpace from US host and very happy

    Another CanSpace migrant here. We moved everything over from Godaddy to CanSpace over 2 weeks ago and everything has been awesome from day 1. I implore every single Canadian company to move away from US service providers when they can - CanSpace is an awesome option for doing so.

    Best AND cheapest host in Canada

    Like many other people here, we decided to move our Wordpress site away from Godaddy and to a Canadian company. CanSpace had everything migrated over in literally less than an hour after I signed up. Absolutely amazing, and they were extremely communicative and thorough during the process. I'm annoyed with myself for not doing this earlier - I'm paying half of what I was before.

    Moved hosting to Canada and could not be happier

    We had about a dozen websites hosted between Bluehost and Godaddy in the US. We of course wanted to move all of our services to Canada, but we hesitated to rock the boat here since our sites were running fairly stably for many years. We finally bit the bullet and moved everything over to CanSpace and our only regret is not moving earlier. Sites are loading just as fast as before and we are very happy to be supporting a Canadian company and keeping our money out of the US. If you are considering moving your site back to Canada - DO IT. CanSpace made the process completely painless!

    Better than ANY US-based hosting company

    Like (hopefully) everyone else in Canada, we have been moving all of our services away from US-based businesses wherever possible. In doing so, we realize we have been overpaying for a ton of stuff - but that's a separate discussion. We moved our Wordpress-based website from Bluehost to CanSpace and it is amazing knowing that we are supporting a Canadian-based business, AND as an added bonus, paying less by doing so. I encourage all Canadians to move their business away from the US and do your part. CanSpace is a great option for Canadian web hosting.

    Happy to move my website back to Canada

    I have a relatively small website for my woodworking business here in BC. To be honest I had no major issues with my previous host (Bluehost), but I have been trying to switch to a Canadian company wherever possible for any service that I have. I thought it would be a hassle moving everything over but CanSpace handled the entire process for me. My only regret is that I didn't do this sooner - not only is my website running faster as everyone says, but I'm also paying much less now and don't have to worry about the USD-CAD conversion rates since CanSpace bills in CAD.

    Great Canadian dedicated server provider

    Because of the current political situation in the US, we decided to move about 10 servers from a US-based provider to CanSpace. We assumed this would be extremely tedious and time consuming, but CanSpace handled the entire process for us and had everything migrated over in less than a week. We're extremely happy to be keeping our business in Canada, AND we're paying less now. Only wish we had switched to CanSpace years ago.

    Happy CanSpace customer

    Super happy with CanSpace so far. We're running several WordPress sites on their VPS-Erie, and everything has been fast and stable from day one. They helped us get our sites running with the latest PHP version, and also configured Redis for us. Also love that theyโ€™re a Canadian host - itโ€™s reassuring to keep our data local and not have to deal with U.S. companies.

    Great hosting in Canada

    We have a new mandate in our organization to bring whatever business we can back home to Canada, and I was responsible for moving our website. I have admittedly limited experience in this field, but CanSpace had everything transferred over the same day that we signed up, and their support team has been as great as other reviews have stated. Happy to be supporting a Canadian hosting company!

    Great CANADIAN hosting company

    I've been moving my services away from American-based companies wherever possible. I had my website for nearly 10 years with Bluehost, and decided to move everything over to CanSpace after establishing that they are a 100% Canadian company. To be honest I wish I had done it years ago! Now that I'm paying in Canadian dollars I'm actually paying way less than before, and - as literally every other review points out - their support is amazing. Hooray for a truly Canadian company.

    Great CANADIAN server provider

    We are a small Canadian SAS company, and decided to move all our service providers - where possible - back to Canadian soil. We had a total of 8 dedicated servers and 2 VPS, and had planned for the migration to take about 3 weeks. CanSpace managed to migrate them all over within 4 days! Everything is back on Canadian soil and we are paying in Canadian dollars and could not be happier.

  20.  
    Best server provider in Canada

    We've consolidated about 15 servers now with CanSpace - a handful of dedicated boxes and the rest VPS. This was a fairly major project as we have nearly 1000 clients hosted across these servers but CanSpace made the migration as smooth as possible and none of our sites had any downtime at all during the migration process. We were previously with a US-based host and we're happy to bring our business back to Canada as well as to be paying in Canadian dollars which makes our month-to-month budgeting far simpler. Overall we're extremely pleased with CanSpace and would recommend them.

    Best Wordpress host ever

    Honestly can't say enough good things about CanSpace - they have consistently exceeded my expectations. Their sales team for example told me that they would have my site migrated within 24 hours after signing up, but they had it done in literally under an hour. I mentioned that a theme I was using was not behaving properly - some text in the menu was not aligned correctly. Their sales team said they couldn't promise anything but would take a look as a courtesy. Sure enough they also had this completely fixed for me within a few minutes of finishing the migration. Overall I'm paying half as much as I was before and with 100x better service. Can't recommend CanSpace enough.

    Great host, particularly for Laravel-based websites

    We are in the medical industry here in Ontario and have some custom-coded applications written in Laravel. As we are storing medical data, we had very specific requirements around data privacy and hosting in general. CanSpace was extremely thorough with their answers, whereas many other Canadian hosts simply ignored our sales requests entirely. We've migrated all of our applications over to CanSpace and have had an excellent experience so far, and hope to have a great relationship with them going forward.

    Best VPS provider in Canada

    I can easily say that CanSpace is the best VPS provider in Canada. I can say this because over the last 10 years I have used literally every single one of them. CanSpace is by far the most professional, most reliable, and best value out of all of them. I recently worked for a Canadian crown corporation which was using CanSpace and they were always there when we needed them. I have recently moved to the private sector and when my new company was looking for a few VPS servers for some internal services, I recommended CanSpace based on my previous experience with them. They have not let me down, and my new employer is thrilled with the recommendation.

    CanSpace always goes above and beyond

    I am always impressed with the support I get from CanSpace, and that is rare in this day and age, so I thought I would leave them a well deserved review. I have a small online store for my clothing business built in Wordpress. I am the farthest thing from a techie person, but every single time I reach out to CanSpace for any questions about my website they have always been extremely patient and thorough with me. Without them I quite frankly would never have gotten a website online in the first place. For anyone considering hosting their website with them, my advice is DO IT!

    Excellent enterprise host

    My firm is working on a project for the Government of Canada and we required a hosting environment that met a ton of different specifications and Canadian compliance criteria provided to us by the government. We piled a ton of requirements on to the guys at CanSpace and they helped us to meet all compliance requirements and were extremely thorough in their replies. I can say that as a result of their spectacular help we've likely won future government contracts in the long-term. Long story short if you need enterprise-level hosting in Canada, look no further.

    Great site for webdevs

    I'm working on a small project for a Canadian non-profit and needed a place to host it for them. We chose CanSpace because one of their employees hosts his personal blog with them and has had a good experience for many years. Overall my experience has been excellent... I rarely go out of my way to leave positive reviews but CanSpace really deserves it. Even when I reach out with complex Wordpress-development questions their support team is always extremely helpful. Quite frankly I would not have been able to complete this project without them.

    CanSpace is amazing

    I have a Wordpress site and one day it just stopped working out of the blue. I contacted my previous hosting provider (a big US-based one) and they said there was nothing they could do. After some research I called CanSpace and asked if I migrated to them if they would help me fix it. They didn't guarantee they could, but they said they would do their best. Sure enough, after migrating to CanSpace, my site was up and running in about 10 minutes. Apparently it was just an issue with one plugin. To think if my previous hosting provider had just spent 10 minutes helping me they could have had a client for life. Anyway I'm much happier with CanSpace now and would rather have my site in Canada.

    Good experience with CanSpace so far

    I just came across an ad for CanSpace on Facebook and decided to give them a try. I've been procrastinating with building my business website for months now so I decided the long weekend was a good time to start. The price was excellent compared to other options I was looking at, and their web based site builder is extremely intuitive - I literally had my business site up and running in about an hour, which makes me feel silly for putting it off so long.

    Best server provider in Canada

    We have had dedicated servers with about 10 different providers across Canada. We've been so happy with the support and pricing at CanSpace that we just finished consolidating ALL of our servers to CanSpace. Believe me I can say with first hand experience that the service CanSpace provides is literally better than any host in Canada - I've tried them all.

    Happy with CanSpace

    I have been stockpiling .ca domains with CanSpace over the years since they have the best prices on them. Most of the domains were just ideas for projects that I had, so I reserved the names in case I ever decided to make something of them. I finally decided to bite the bullet and actually build a website for one of these ideas and decided to go with CanSpace for the hosting as well. I emailed about 7 providers in Canada asking a bunch of (admittedly basic) questions, and CanSpace replied first, with the most thorough answers, so I chose them. So far the experience has been great and their support team is as responsive as their sales team.

    Best registrar in Canada

    I had my domains with Google Domains until they shut down a few months ago, and have been looking for a new registrar ever since. I tried several, but eventually settled on CanSpace as they seem to offer the best combination of value, features, and support. Billing in Canadian dollars is also a bonus. I always get a response via their live chat in a matter of seconds, and they are always extremely thorough. In fact as a result of their great service I also decided to sign up for a hosting package with them and so far it has also been great.

    Amazing Wordpress host

    Another happy customer here. I moved about 5 of my own personal Wordpress sites over to these guys and it's been smooth sailing so far. I was with GoDaddy for over 4 years, and as much as I was not satisfied with them, I stayed there thinking that migrating over would be a difficult process, but CanSpace literally did the entire migration for me without me having to do anything. If you are thinking about switching - do it!

    Best Wordpress host in Canada

    I run a medium-sized web development agency specializing in WordPress. We host our clients' websites on a variety of hosting providers around Canada and we have found that CanSpace consistently has both the best support, as well as the fastest servers by a fairly wide margin. Going forward we'll be consolidating all of our sites with CanSpace. I'm posting this review to save others the headache of having to choose a host by trial and error - CanSpace really is the best choice.

I build primarily Wordpress websites, but they are also great for Python-based apps too.

    Good Wordpress hosting provider

    We have about 10 Wordpress websites for different brands, and managing and keeping everything up to date was an absolute nightmare. CanSpace helped us to consolidate these sites into a single Multisite instance and also updated everything for us. With our previous host one of our sites was getting hacked almost every week, but since moving to CanSpace 2 months ago we have had literally ZERO hacks happen. This has saved us so much headache I cannot even begin to describe how grateful we are to CanSpace.

    Great host!

    I have been registering all of my domains with CanSpace since the beginning of time, and decided to finally consolidate all of my hosting with them too. Really wish I had done this sooner - I'm paying way less than I was with Godaddy, and their support is way better. Much happier to support a Canadian business too!

  37.  
    Excellent Wordpress host

    I run a small web development firm and my clients always ask me to recommend a hosting provider, and I always refer them to CanSpace. For the 5+ years I have been doing this, CanSpace has never let me down. I build exclusively Wordpress-based sites and I know that my clients will get great Wordpress support and performance with CanSpace, and they also offer a great affiliate program if you reach out to them.

    Great support

    Another happy customer here. I think the key with CanSpace is that they are just the right size where I trust them with my company's website, but they are also small enough where when I call in, they recognize me personally and are able to offer customized service to our specific needs. Even though we are certainly far from their biggest client, we have never been made to feel anything but prioritized. Good job guys - keep it up.

    I spent weeks searching for a new hosting provider and settled on CanSpace after reading all the positive reviews. Suffice it to say they were definitely well earned. I was with GoDaddy before and to be fair they set the bar really low, but I had no idea how helpful a hosting provider actually could be. My Wordpress theme had a few small issues that I just couldn't get right, and CanSpace had them all resolved for me within 15 minutes of opening a ticket - now that's support!

    So far so good

    I'm just getting started with all of this website building stuff so my basis for this review is fairly basic, but after signing up with canspace I've managed to get a fairly professional looking (if I may say so myself) website up and running in just a few days. The canspace support guys helped me install Wordpress, and even helped me install and customize my theme - I would have been totally lost initially without their help, but their support really helped to speed things up. So far my experience has been great!

    My company does IT consulting for a Canadian crown corp and our primary responsibility was speeding up their website and doing stress testing under high loads. CanSpace is our go-to host in situations like these. Once their site was migrated over it was already performing significantly faster than their previous host, and CanSpace helped to facilitate the stress tests and even helped us to identify weak points in their application. The guys at CanSpace are real professionals and saved us literally weeks of work.

    CanSpace is a life saver

    CanSpace literally saved us. Our previous hosting provider updated their servers and our Wordpress installation completely stopped working due to it apparently not being compatible with a new PHP version. Our host offered no help whatsoever and we were completely stuck - the guy who built our website was long gone. We signed up and transferred our website to CanSpace - they said they couldn't guarantee they could fix it for us, but said they would do their best. Literally 5 minutes after we finished the migration they had the site up and running... all they had to do was help us disable a plugin, which apparently was too much work for our previous host. Their support has been awesome so far and we are extremely happy we chose CanSpace!

    So far so good

    We had a domain with CanSpace for our small business (electrical contracting company) for a few years now, and we decided to finally take the plunge and get a hosting plan so that we could have email attached to our domain name. For the moment we are only using the hosting plan for email but having an email address at our domain name definitely makes us look more professional, and the guys at CanSpace helped us get everything set up on our phones so we can access everything on the road. Everything has been smooth sailing so far - so much so that we may even try and set up a simple website soon! Thanks CanSpace - always happy to support a fellow Canadian business.

    Great VPS/Magento host

    I work in IT for a fairly large Canadian online retailer and I was responsible for migrating our entire Magento installation to a Canadian provider. Our site is very complex - Magento is a beast, and we have a ton of customizations, as well as the site itself being a very heavy resource user. After going back and forth with the sales guys at CanSpace for a week we settled on a VPS and their support team helped me get everything migrated over within 24 hours. I'm extremely happy with the service we received, and everything is now running smoothly with them.

    Recommended host

    I work for a consulting company doing work for a Canadian crown corporation so we had very specific requirements with regards to data privacy, security, etc, in addition to of course speed and reliability. Ultimately we are handing this project back to the government so the performance of the hosting provider reflects on our company as well. I'd just like to say that the sales team at CanSpace really made the effort to answer all of our questions in great detail and their service has met and exceeded expectations in all aspects. We'll definitely be working with them for all of our future projects.

    Good host for those just getting started

    I run a small at-home repair shop for furniture, so building a web site is way beyond anything I thought I was capable of. I chose CanSpace because of all the great reviews and I can say that they definitely live up to their reputation. I probably needed more hand holding than 99% of their clients, but with their help, I was able to have a simple site up and running the same day that I signed up. It's basic, but has everything I need, and I look forward to playing around with it more going forward. They seem to have lots of options for those with no preexisting knowledge of websites, and they were great at helping me even with super basic requests.

    Good Dedicated Server Provider

    We've been hosting with CanSpace for years and also have all our domains with them. We recently consolidated all of our hosting plans into a single dedicated server and everything is flying. Their support guys helped us merge all 5 of our hosting plans into a single server - not only are we saving money, we are now benefitting from the speed of having an entire server to ourselves. We assumed this would be difficult to manage, but with the CanSpace guys handling everything for us administration-wise, it has been extremely straightforward. We recommend them without hesitation.

    Best VPS host in Canada

    CanSpace is amazing. Their VPS prices seemed almost too good to be true, especially compared to my last VPS provider, but now that everything has been up and running smoothly for a few weeks, I can say that I am extremely happy with their service. They migrated everything over flawlessly, no downtime whatsoever, and things are running faster than before!

    Super host

    I have the same experience as all the other reviews you read about CanSpace. Great support, great speeds, and very reasonable prices. My site is just a very small Wordpress photography blog. To be honest I only get a few dozen visits per week - it's more of a hobby than anything else - but the guys at CanSpace treat me like I'm their most important customer. All of my questions are always answered quickly and thoroughly, and their staff are also very friendly.

    Amazing Support

    We use our website to take reservations for a few small hotels, so you can imagine how important uptime and reliability is for us. After a nightmare with our previous host we switched to CanSpace and everything has been awesome. We started with a VPS but recently moved up to a Dedicated Server. Their support staff actually take the time to understand our website and the way it works, and have provided us with a great upgrade path for the future. They never sell us anything we don't need - in fact they have often talked us out of upgrading when it wasn't necessary, which is rare for a company these days. You can't go wrong with these guys.

    Thanks for being a great host

    Our law firm has been hosting our website and email with CanSpace for the last 5 years and they have always been there as our firm has grown. We started off with 2 lawyers and their smallest hosting plan. Years later we're now a firm with over 25 staff and our requirements have changed, and we've moved on to a dedicated server with them. Whenever we've needed to grow our services, CanSpace was always there to provide us with options and ensure that the migrations were done smoothly. We look forward to continuing to grow with you guys!

    CanSpace has been great to us over the years

    We've been with CanSpace since the day we started our company, and they have always been there to help us with our growth. We started with a shared hosting plan, upgraded to a VPS a few years later, and just a few days ago upgraded yet again to a Dedicated Server. Every migration was done smoothly and there was always someone there to help us discuss options for our future growth. We're very happy to have CanSpace as a partner with our business and we know we'll be with them for many years to come.

    Thanks CanSpace!

    I just have a very small WordPress based website that I use for my beauty business in BC. I am VERY basic with web-based stuff, but I managed to build my site entirely myself with the help of CanSpace and their hand holding. I couldn't possibly have done it without them, I am extremely grateful to CanSpace for helping me get started with my new business!

    Solid VPS provider

    The support we have been getting from CanSpace for our VPS has been nothing short of amazing. The actual specifications of our VPS are not dramatically different than what we had with our previous provider, but our site is loading literally 5x faster. Their support team really digs deep to find ways to optimize your server for your specific website and we could not be happier. Totally worth it to pay for a "fully managed" server than to be left on your own trying to figure things out. They also really go out of their way to explain the exact changes they made, and their support team deserves a lot of credit in general.

    Awesome reseller host

    We recently migrated about 20 of our reseller sub-accounts to CanSpace and everything has been very smooth so far. Performance is dramatically faster than our previous host, and most importantly the support at CanSpace is a million times better than what we have ever experienced in the past from any other hosting provider. These guys are awesome.

    CanSpace Rocks - Best server provider in Canada

    I've lost count of how many servers we have with CanSpace now - well over a dozen. We've actually been able to scale down our own administrator team because the CanSpace guys do such a great job of maintaining and updating our servers. Even in the middle of the night there is always someone around, and always someone who is extremely knowledgeable. The CanSpace guys have saved us on more than one occasion and are always there when we need them, and are extremely deserving of this good review. We would not get our servers anywhere else.

    Best ecommerce host in Canada

    My company has a Wordpress+WooCommerce based online store. Since the pandemic started, we have been getting nearly 90% of our revenue from our ecommerce site, so suffice it to say it is extremely important to us that it is running perfectly. We were with another Canadian hosting company that had a well documented disaster and our site was down for days. Even before that it was running slowly and we were getting no support or help at all. We migrated to CanSpace several weeks ago and our site has never been running better. They helped us to identify a Wordpress plugin that had been causing issues all along, and made a ton of other optimizations that is making our site run at least 3-4x faster than it ever has been. If you are considering switching to CanSpace just DO IT - these guys know their stuff.

    Great email host

    At the moment I'm only using CanSpace for my email hosting while I build my website, but they've been extremely helpful so far and they definitely deserve a good review. I was having issues with my previous provider and emails constantly ending up in spam folders. CanSpace helped me migrate all my emails to their servers - a process which they handled completely for me - and everything has been working perfectly ever since. They helped me configure my Outlook client and all my mobile devices. No more emails ending up in spam, and I can go back to focusing on my business.

    Excellent Support

    Just wanted to echo what other reviews here have said - the support at CanSpace is awesome! I'm new to everything and just wanted to build a simple Wordpress site for my small business and they held my hand the whole way. They helped me set up my business email and get it working on my phone and laptop, and even installed Wordpress for me with a template that was already suited to my business.. how awesome is that! I'm thrilled at how my website turned out and really want to thank the guys at CanSpace for all the help.

    Excellent Reseller Host

    We migrated over 30 of our cPanel accounts from another reseller provider to CanSpace about 2 months ago. CanSpace handled the entire process - all we had to do was upload the backup files and they took care of the rest. Unlike my previous reseller provider (who I will avoid naming), they actually go out of their way to help me with client issues and don't just say "sorry not our responsibility". They even take nightly backups of my accounts, saving me a ton of headache. Even though I was super nervous migrating this many accounts the process has been incredibly smooth and CanSpace has always been there when I needed support. My clients have also commented on the improved speed and performance.

    Amazing Wordpress Host

    I moved my Wordpress site to CanSpace from GoDaddy a few weeks ago and it has been FLYING ever since. I actually just assumed Wordpress was a slow platform but the support guys at CanSpace helped me optimize my site and it's performing at least 2-3x faster than before which is amazing. I literally just reached out to their support for tips and they offered to log in and do it for me. They also did an imap-to-imap transfer to move all my email over which was greatly appreciated and a bottleneck with migrating to any other provider I was considering. Email is also working better than before. I'm a happy customer!

    CanSpace is the best provider in Canada

    We have 3 dedicated servers with these guys and just added a 4th. We have had nothing but excellent experiences with CanSpace over the years and have gotten to know some of their staff somewhat personally as we reach out to them a LOT. No question is ever too big or small and the level of hand-holding they provide is really over the top. We use our servers for corporate email, public websites, as well as private databases, and CanSpace is well suited to any and all of these services. Thanks for always being amazing guys.

    Best web hosting provider in Canada by far

    Over the years I've referred at least 10 of my friends/family to CanSpace and they never disappoint. I recently helped move my employer's website over to their services - and this was by far the biggest client I have ever referred to them, and my reputation was on the line here. My company relies on it's web hosting plan for it's email services as well, so reliable email is also key. This was all communicated to CanSpace in advance and of course they said they would handle it without any hiccups. It's been about a week now since the migration and everything went off without a hitch - over 50 email accounts migrated, in addition to our website itself, and everything is working perfectly. Thanks for never disappointing guys!

    Excellent reseller hosting provider

    We were very unsatisfied with our previous reseller hosting provider but we had over 30 accounts and the idea of moving them all seemed overwhelming. We finally decided to reach out to CanSpace and they literally had all 30+ of our accounts migrated on to their services the very same day we signed up with them. They handled the entire process and were extremely communicative and professional. We're paying about half of what we were before, and all of our sites are loading dramatically faster. In addition CanSpace handles all backups for us (even for our sub-accounts), so this is another expense off our hands. Overall we are extremely satisfied and highly recommend CanSpace as a reseller hosting provider.

    Best VPS provider in Canada!

    We have over 10 VPS servers with CanSpace and they were all on CentOS 6 as we've had them for several years. We were nervous about the upgrade process to CentOS 7 and had planned for a whole weekend to work out the kinks and get it all done. They literally had each server done in less than an hour and all content restored. We are incredibly impressed and so happy that we pay for a managed service - it's worth literally every penny! Thanks CanSpace!

    Solid Canadian VPS Provider

    Our VPS with our old provider was running CentOS 6 and was coming up to its end of life date, so we reached out to our supposed 'managed' provider to upgrade us to CentOS 7 and told us we were out of luck. I decided to move over to CanSpace and they had our VPS fully migrated and running (over 20 sites) within 5 hours of me signing up. Not only are we paying WAY less, but we are running the latest version of everything now, and all of our sites are running at least twice as fast as before. Even when I had the smallest of issues with one of the sites on the VPS the CanSpace team had things solved within minutes. I am extremely impressed so far and they definitely deserve this positive review.
