Learn moreExternal Backups
Why are backups important?
Automatic daily backups to help you quickly recover from mistakes or security incidents. They are a critical component of any company’s disaster recovery process.External Backups are stored in separate physical drives for extra security, and are powered by JetBackup, which store optimized incremental backups accessible directly from your control panel.
By default, we’ll save 14 days worth of backups, but you can increase or decrease retention as needed, so long as you don’t exceed your total allocated disk space.
We recommend you add 20% more backup storage than actual disk space you plan on using, to ensure you can store multiple retention points. For example, if you plan on using 60 GB of disk space, you’ll want to have at least 72 GB of backups, so consider adding the 100 GB External Backup option.
Website Acceleration
Why do I need a faster website?
A single second delay in the load time of your website can lead to 11% fewer page views, 16% decrease in customer satisfaction and 7% loss in conversions.LiteSpeed web server is a commercial server software that doubles the amount of simultaneous visitors your site can receive, and dramatically improves the response time for both static and dynamic pages with powerful caching. It also includes plugins for popular apps like WordPress.
LiteSpeed is a drop-in replacement of Apache, so switching between the two is simple. Our team handles the installation and configuration for you, making the process painless.
The version of LiteSpeed you’ll need will depend on factors like the quantity of memory (RAM) available on your server.
Server Management
What is server management and why do I need it?
Server management defines the level of service our team will provide you with your server.With Standard Management, we ensure your server is powered, has network connectivity, and responds to ping. We pre-install and configure Linux along with Apache, MySQL, and PHP for you. In case of problems, our support team can provide assistance 24/7. We also include free migration assistance if you’re transferring in from other providers.
With ProActive Management, our team also monitors the health of your server, and intervenes automatically when an issue is detected by our monitoring system (up to 2 interventions included per month) without you needing to contact us first. We’ll carefully monitor your database and web server availability along with your CPU, memory and disk space usage.
With Advanced Management, in addition to proactively monitoring your server and intervening when needed (without monthly intervention limits), our team will also provide up to 2 hours of system administration services per month to help you deal with issues such as performance, redundancy, and reliability.
Advanced Management includes:
- Everything you get with Standard Management, but also:
- VIP Support: get answers to your problems first
- Performance & HTTP monitoring & support
- MySQL/MariaDB monitoring & support
- Pro-active Performance Interventions
- Mail server & Mail Queue monitoring
- Advanced Firewall configuration
- Email BlackList scanning & support
- PCI scan remediation assistance
- Up to 3 hours/month of SysAdmin work
Dedicated IPs
What are dedicated IPs and what are their benefit?
IP addresses are a series of numbers (like 192.233.57.182) used to identify resources on the Internet. When a website is assigned a Dedicated IP instead of a Shared IP, it becomes the only website that uses that IP address.WHC recommends Dedicated IPs for a better SSL support, performance and access for your important sites. Without dedicated IPs, sites use shared IPs and must rely on a technology called SNI to function. Since SNI technology is not available on some older browsers, your site may be inaccessible for up to 3% of all your users. WHC recommends you add a dedicated IP for each important website (more than 10,000 visitors per month) on your server.
By default, servers are delivered with a single IP address that is shared across all websites that you host on that server. WHC recommends 5 IP addresses for most common configurations, which will include: 2 dedicated IPs for your nameservers, 1 dedicated IP for the server itself, 1 dedicated IP for your main website, and 1 shared IP for all your other websites.
1-Click Apps Installer
Why do I need an app installer?
Focus on using apps rather than spending time on installing them!Softaculous is a powerful apps installer that lets you and your users install, manage, and upgrade over 400 different open-source applications in just a few clicks straight from your control panel. Apps include WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento, PrestaShop, Moodle, and many more, conveniently sorted by category.
Security Suite
Which security solution is right for me?
A system gets hacked every 39 seconds and 43% of attacks target small businesses. When it comes to online security, it pays to be proactive.Standard configurations include automatic system updates, a managed firewall, and included SSL certificates for all your domains.
For best-in-class proactive security, WHC recommends Imunify360. Imunify360 is an automated security solution, powered by AI and Proactive Defense, that will protect your web servers from the latest infections, maintain secure kernels, and help keep you one step ahead of hackers.

Operating System
Which operating system is right for me?
The operating system you choose will determine which technologies you will be able to use for your websites and applications.AlmaLinux is the default Linux operating system and is the only open-source operating system that’s officially supported by cPanel. It’s a good choice for hosting PHP/MySQL websites.
CloudLinux is WHC’s recommended Operating System and fully supports cPanel. CloudLinux enables you to host multiple accounts on the same server and improves server stability, density, and security by isolating each account and giving them allocated server resources. It also provides advanced features such as Node.JS, Python, in addition to the default PHP/MySQL options..
Learn more about CloudLinux
Type of Storage
Which storage type is best for me?
When picking the storage type on your server, it’s all about size and speed.SATA disks are mechanical drives that are larger, but slower. They’re a good choice if you plan on storing a large amount of data, but don’t necessarily require the fastest seek times.
SSD (Solid State Drives) storage can be up to 5 times faster than its SATA counterparts, but are also smaller and generally more expensive.
WHC recommends opting for SSD storage unless you require more space for very large amounts of data. Certain servers propose hybrid SATA + SSD configurations for maximum flexibility.
We also offer NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) storage for enterprises requiring a lightning-fast solution. NVMe is a high-performance, optimized, and highly scalable storage protocol which uses an interface to access stored data at a high speed. It's far more advanced than SSD and offers a much faster and better-encrypted solution.
All WHC storage solutions come configured by default in redundancy (RAID-1) mode, so that the 2nd drive always mirrors the first one. If one of the drives were to fail, our team would replace it while the 2nd drive picked up the workload without service interruption.

Frequently Asked Questions
Unlike Web Hosting (also commonly referred to as shared hosting), Dedicated Servers provide an entire physical server exclusively for your use, ensuring maximum performance, security, and customization options. This makes them ideal for high-traffic websites, resource-intensive applications, and enterprise-level projects. Cloud Servers, on the other hand, use virtualization to distribute resources across multiple physical machines and give access through a shared webserver.
You should upgrade to a Dedicated Server when your website needs more power, security, and control than shared or cloud hosting can provide. If you're experiencing high traffic, slow performance, resource limitations, or security concerns, a dedicated server ensures faster speeds, better reliability, and full customization. It's ideal for business-critical applications, custom software, and future scalability.
Web Hosting Canada’s Dedicated Servers stand out due to their high-performance hardware, featuring enterprise-grade processors, SSD storage, and optimized network speeds. Clients can choose between fully managed or self-managed options, depending on their level of technical expertise and control preferences. Hosted in secure Canadian data centers, these servers comply with Canadian data privacy regulations while delivering fast and reliable service.
Additionally, 24/7 expert support ensures that assistance is always available when needed. To enhance security, all dedicated servers come with built-in DDoS protection to safeguard against cyber threats.

Linux Dedicated Servers run on various Linux distributions such as Ubuntu and CentOS. They are commonly used for web applications that require PHP, MySQL, and Apache and do not have additional licensing costs. Linux servers are generally preferred by developers and businesses that work with open-source technologies.
Windows Dedicated Servers operate on Windows Server OS and are designed for businesses that rely on Microsoft technologies. They support applications such as ASP.NET, MSSQL, and other Windows-based software. These servers require a Windows license, which is included with WHC’s offerings.
Windows Dedicated Servers operate on Windows Server OS and are designed for businesses that rely on Microsoft technologies. They support applications such as ASP.NET, MSSQL, and other Windows-based software. These servers require a Windows license, which is included with WHC’s offerings.
Choosing the right Dedicated Server depends on a few key factors. If you prefer an open-source environment, a Linux Dedicated Server is often the ideal choice. If your business relies on Microsoft-based software or specific Windows applications, then a Windows Dedicated Server will be a better fit. Beyond the operating system, consider your traffic volume, performance requirements (CPU, RAM, storage), budget, and how easily you may need to scale in the future. If you’re not sure which option matches your needs, WHC’s experts can help you pick the most suitable server.
Managed Servers are optimized and maintained by WHC experts to ensure best performance and reliability. If your server goes offline (no ping) our monitoring system will alert us and our team will attempt to resolve the problem for you, without needing your intervention.
Unmanaged Servers must be maintained by the client. WHC still ensures hardware and network availability, while managing the virtualization layer.
