All VPS solutions from CanSpace come with high speed SSD drives, guaranteed resources, and full root access.

Server administration is a full-time job and requires 24/7 staff - leave that up to us while you focus on your website!

Wicked fast, quality support, and no bogus upselling
I've had my small websites on Canspace for years now, and have only good things to report. I'm on the medium level, and their support is almost blindingly fast and generally very high quality. Since I have a little public profile, I've had occasion to personally recommend Canspace to probably 200 small website managers over the past five years who were facing similar website shut-downs and bogus upselling efforts from cheap hosting providers, and not a single person has ever written back to me to complain.

I have used CanSpace for years to host
I have used CanSpace for years to host and build my website. Their service has been excellent! Especially during my latest site re-design which needed a temporary workspace to build and test the new site, and then migrating it over to become "live" only happened with their assistance. I oopsied a couple of times, and Guy H. was able to find where links/indexes had to be adjusted, and now everything is working perfectly. He was very patient, and guided me through the process of having my new site replace the old one.

CanSpace has always come through for me
CanSpace has always come through for me when I have an issue. I have experienced a few web hosting companies in the past that have said we do not assist with that type of issue so I was pretty much on my own. The people at CanSpace support have never done that to me and I am impressed with their ongoing support. Based on my experience, I highly recommend them if you are looking for a company to host your website.

Great service and support
We just migrated to a new server on Canspace and so far the support and help has been excellent. I'm thankful to Neil, who's made himself available via email and phone and gone the extra mile to get us up and running. So far my experience has been very positive.

Best Support Team in the World
I've been a Canspace customer for about 7 years and rated Canspace a "5" because they are the best in the biz with customer support. We are not a big customer either or paying extra for faster customer support. I use a lot of different software products in my business and provide customer support to my customers too. I aspire to be just like the Canspace team in my own approach to customer support. My recent experience moving a domain and setting up emails resulted in a few problems. I knew that we would get a prompt reply to our questions. Our support tickets were answered promptly - usually in less than 30 minutes. This meant that our could keep moving. It took several tickets before we had the situation figured out.

Finally found my host!
Like most people I have been bouncing around web hosting companies for the past 10 years or so. Some start off fine and then get terrible. Some start off poorly then improve. CanSpace has been consistently good since day 1. The biggest plus are their staff who are absolute geniuses... seriously. I've had issues with web apps I've even developed myself that they managed to solve. Most importantly, they are always there when you need them - even at 2am. Highly recommend.

A bright spot in my gruelling week
A bright spot in a gruelling week. Felt raked over the coals by Blue Host, HostGator, and yes, HostPapa too! I will not regale with the agonizing details. Then I found CanSpace. They were so professional, so intelligent, the communication was so smooth. No hidden charges, and no contradictory charges as opposed to the aforementioned providers. All my questions and concerns were answered in less than ten minutes, whereas I spent at least 45 minutes with the others - and that was just for the sales process! I realize I'm in for a bit of a learning curve going forward. Forewarned and forearmed, so I'm ready for a bit of frustration. I know their support team will be standing by. I also know that web development services cost money, so I don't begrudge this. Thanks Canspace, for helping me to finally get started.

Outstanding service and customer support!
So impressed with how they care for small-time customers like me, who has been on the cheapest plan for years. Neil and Jose went out of their way to help me with an issue that wasn't really their problem. Outstanding service and customer support!

Hosting Excellence
I've been coaxing computers to do what I need them to do since 1978 and can say with confidence that the fine and friendly folks at CanSpace know exactly what they're doing. It's good to know that your host is educated and experienced because your host is a mission-critical part of your online world. You can rely on and trust these people. And they're 100% Canadian as far as I can tell, which is important to me.

Frequently Asked Questions
A virtual private server (VPS) is a technology that allows users to receive their own set of dedicated resources from a physical server. Each VPS exists in a "virtualized" compartment of the dedicated server, and has it's own separate resources and operating system. For this reason, having a VPS gives you drastically improved performance over a shared hosting plan, as well as improved flexibility and customization options, since you have full root access.
All VPS plans from CanSpace are fully managed. Managing a VPS can be a full-time job from a technical standpoint, so at CanSpace we handle all of the technical aspects of managing a VPS for you. This includes all server updates, administration, security, and maintenance. We can also install any custom modules you need, configure Apache/MySQL the way you want, etc. The only thing you have to worry about is building your website.
Having a cheaper, unmanaged VPS from another provider can lead to security risks, degraded performance, and ultimately - downtime. This can ruin the reputation of your website and cost you business.
