Pros and cons
Pros
- Introductory hosting of CAD 3.89 is a low entry point, below the category median of €2.95
- The 30 money-back period matches the median of 30 in the category
- Both data centres sit in Canada, on the Canada east coast and Canada west coast
- Plans include free ssl, backups and cdn alongside email, and support runs through email, chat and phone
Cons
- Renewal of CAD 6.99 to CAD 19.50 is noticeably higher than the CAD 3.89 entry price, so the saving is short lived
- The Go plan hosts a single website, and the Pro and Enterprise tiers are needed for unlimited websites
- There is no free plan, so a trial is the only low cost way in

Frequently asked questions
What does hosting cost at entry and at renewal?+
Hosting opens at CAD 3.89 when you commit to 36 months. Renewals run CAD 6.99 to CAD 19.50, so the budget is worth checking before the first term ends. The entry figure sits near the category median of €2.95.
How long is the money-back period?+
WHC.ca offers 30 days on hosting, which matches the category median of 30. It ranks at 35 of 275 brands on that measure, so the window is typical rather than generous.
Is there a free plan or a free trial?+
There is no free plan. The site builder can be tried for 14 days, which lines up with the category median of 14. Shared hosting runs on the same free trial model.
Where are the servers and who runs the company?+
WHC.ca is operated by WHC Online Solutions Inc, founded in 2003 and based in Canada. Its data centres are on the Canada east coast and Canada west coast. No regulator or licence is named for the company.
What hosting types can I move between?+
The catalogue spans shared web hosting, managed wordpress hosting and reseller hosting, from entry shared hosting through to private cloud and Windows servers. That range means a growing site can move up a path rather than start over with another supplier.
What is included with a hosting plan?+
Plans list free ssl, backups and cdn in the package, so SSL, backups, CDN and email come as standard rather than as paid extras. Support is available through email, chat and phone, and the uptime promise is 99.9%.
What does a .com domain cost?+
A .com domain is CAD 15.49 in the first year and CAD 19.99 on renewal, close to the category medians of €11.61 and €14.94. Free WHOIS privacy is included, so the renewal figure is the whole cost.
How many websites can one plan hold?+
The Go plan holds one website, while the Pro and Enterprise plans hold unlimited websites. Running several properties on a shared account therefore pushes the choice toward the higher tiers and the CAD 6.99 to CAD 19.50 range.
