Pros and cons
Pros
- The intro price and the renewal price match, so nothing jumps at renewal (CAD 5.95 and CAD 5.95).
- Data centres sit in Toronto, Vancouver and Coquitlam, keeping Canadian traffic local (Toronto, Vancouver and Coquitlam).
- Support covers phone, chat, email and a help centre (email, chat and phone).
- Shared plans include free SSL, backups and email (free ssl, backups and email).
Cons
- There is no free plan, so a first bill arrives before you commit.
- The entry price ranks 164 of 282 brands ranked, so cheaper options exist.
- The Lite plan holds a single website and add-on domains grow by tier, so extra sites push you up the plans.
Who it suits
- Small businesses in Canada that want hosting close to home (Toronto, Vancouver and Coquitlam)
- Beginners who would rather phone or chat than dig through documentation (email, chat and phone)
- Buyers who want the whole hosting catalogue from one provider (shared hosting, windows hosting and managed wordpress)
Who should look elsewhere
- Render, if you would rather start at $0 than pay from the first month
- Afrihost, if a shared plan at ZAR 84 in rand suits your budget better
- Hosting.cl, if you prefer to be billed in Chilean pesos at CLP 159,900
