Canspace Solutions

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. 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.

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.

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.

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!

These guys definitely lived up to their reputation. We were referred to CanSpace by our web developer here in Canada and they have been solid since day 1. Our dev obviously handles most of the actual "look and feel" related things with our site, but CanSpace has been great when it comes to server optimization for security and performance for Wordpress. Their support agents are all calm, well spoken, and very patient, and go out of their way to ensure all questions are answered satisfactorily.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
