Canadian Web Hosting Inc., at canadianwebhosting.com, sells cPanel shared hosting, managed WordPress, VPS plans, dedicated servers, email hosting and managed support, from data centres in Toronto, Vancouver and Coquitlam. It is a different company from Web Hosting Canada. MapleDeploy runs Coolify on a dedicated VM in Toronto, for apps you deploy from git or as containers. Both host your data in Canada, so the difference is the kind of project each is built for. Shared hosting is much cheaper, because it's a different product. This page explains when each one fits.

When Canadian Web Hosting is the right choice

For a WordPress site, a PHP site or a small business site with email, Canadian Web Hosting is the better fit and the better price. Its shared hosting starts at $5.95 CAD a month on a two-year or longer term, with cPanel, free SSL and 50 GB of backup space.

It also suits teams that want a Vancouver-headquartered provider with data centres in Toronto and Vancouver. Canadian Web Hosting says it is owned and operated by Canadians and holds SOC 2 Type II certification. If you want a server of your own, its VPS plans give full root access, with cPanel/WHM or Plesk available as add-ons.

When MapleDeploy is the right choice

MapleDeploy fits when your project is an application rather than a website: a Node.js, Python or Go app, a Docker image, a worker, or a stack of services with a Postgres or Redis database alongside.

You deploy with a git push or from a container image, and Coolify builds and runs it. Databases and common tools install from one-click services. A Canadian Web Hosting VPS can run that kind of stack too. Its VPS plans are unmanaged by default, and its Managed Support plans take on OS updates and patching. MapleDeploy manages a server running Coolify, a platform built for deploying apps from git and containers. Our article on what matters in Canadian web hosting covers how the hosting market got here.

What MapleDeploy handles

MapleDeploy runs the server and Coolify together, on a dedicated VM in Toronto.

Security hardening. SSH key authentication, fail2ban, outbound SMTP blocking, and automatic security patches, applied before you first log in.
OS patches. Operating system updates and kernel patches are applied for you. When a kernel update needs a reboot, it happens in a fixed 07:50 UTC window.
Coolify itself. We run a public fork of Coolify that we rebase regularly against upstream. Changes are limited to Canadian branding and MapleDeploy integrations.
Snapshots. Weekly full-server snapshots covering the OS, Coolify, containers, volumes and databases.

Snapshots are disaster recovery, not granular restores. For production databases, you should still set up Coolify's S3 database backups on a daily schedule.

Comparing the cost

If a cPanel plan does what you need, it will cost far less than a MapleDeploy server. Canadian Web Hosting's shared hosting starts at $5.95 CAD a month on a two-year or longer term.

MapleDeploy starts at $45 CAD/month for a dedicated VM with 4 GB RAM, 2 vCPUs and 35 GB of storage, with no per-project or usage fees. That's close to Canadian Web Hosting's VPS4, listed at $44.95 CAD a month on a 12-month billing cycle, before any Managed Support or backup add-ons. Starter and Pro include a 30-day free trial.
