Recently, I’ve had to go shopping around again for a hosting company to take care of all my website-related needs. Not that the company I’ve been with for the last two years, Host Monster, has any problems. Quite the contrary. When I first signed up with Host Monster, I remember being so surprised at how much hosting plan I could get for just $7.95 per month (I had signed up for the 2-year plan). I couldn’t believe I could get unlimited bandwidth, disk space, MySQL databases, and was able to host unlimited websites for such a low cost. But that was two years ago. Could it be that there could be other choices now, and perhaps ever better host plan deals? I had to find out.

Well, after performing numerous Internet searches for the top hosting companies, I soon found out that there are so many good hosting companies to choose from now. These companies were all offering similar perks such as unlimited bandwidth, unlimited disk space, more MySQL databases than you would ever possible use, and a free domain for the life of your account with them. Often, topping the list were companies like:

But there was one other one that was at least as good as all those big name companies, and I was delighted to see that it was a hosting company that was also fully Canadian owned and operated, with servers also located in Canada. The company is Host Papa.

I admit that I got pretty excited about Host Papa. I remember one of the things I had really hoped to find the last time I purchased a hosting plan was a 100% Canadian company. However, at the time, I was disappointed in the offerings that I was seeing from Canada, and had no choice but to sign up with an American company. Their Web hosting plan deals were just way better. But not anymore. So I am now proud to present to you, my pick for the best hosting plan in all of Canada, Host Papa.

Host Papa - the best Canadian Web host

Host Papa – the best Canadian Web host

 

Some of the reasons Host Papa is just as good or better than the others are:

  • 100% Canadian owned and operated
  • 100% Green Energy Web hosting
  • Host unlimited domains on one account
  • Unlimited bandwidth
  • Unlimited diskspace
  • Free domain for life
  • Cpanel control panel
  • PHP and more MySQL databases than you’ll ever need

But one of the main reasons for why I’m choosing this company as the best Web host in Canada is because it’s Canadian owned and operated, and the data centre is located in Canada (Toronto). A lot of SEO experts would argue that having a Canadian company website hosted on a Canadian or rather Canada-based server could have some benefit from a search engine’s perspective. Certain kinds of searches might actually rank your site higher, especially in cases where Canadians are searching for Canadian content or products.

So I stand behind Host Papa 100% as the best Web hosting plan in Canada, and recommend that you choose them the next time you are looking for a great hosting plan that can give you the biggest bang for your buck, especially if your company is Canadian. Simply click on the above Host Papa banner to go to their website and find out more. If you decide to sign up with them, then congratulations – you’ve just chosen the best hosting company in Canada as your Web host.

Making the move to Host Papa

I am now an official member of Host Papa, after signing up for their 2-year plan just a few days ago. The sign up process was very simple, with just a couple of forms to fill out, and I was able to pay using PayPal. So far, everything is looking really good.

Moving over my sites was then just a matter of downloading from my old Web host (HostMonster), and uploading to the Host Papa servers. My database sites took a bit longer because I had to export my databases, create new databases through the Host Papa control panel, and then import my info into the new database.

 

You can do it, too!

If you also want to make the move to Host Papa, all you need to do is click here or on any of the other links that you see throughout this post. The banner will also do the trick. And, for a limited time, for anyone who signs up with Host Papa right after clicking on my links or banner, I will move your site to Host Papa for FREE*. It’s important that you do it right after clicking on my banner, though, so I will be able to track you as someone I referred. And then contact me.

* The free site move offer applies to regular websites. If you have a website that requires databases to be exported and imported, Web applications re-installed, and/or file permissions set up, I might have to charge extra for that, but you’ll still get a good discount.
