    - question: Is MapleDeploy an alternative to FullHost?
      answer: >-
        For app hosting, yes. FullHost sells managed web hosting, Linux and
        Windows virtual machines, managed VPS plans and FullHost.Cloud, a
        container platform billed by use. MapleDeploy runs Coolify on a
        dedicated VM at a flat monthly price, for apps you deploy from git or as
        containers, along with their databases. Both offer hosting in Canada.
    - question: Where does FullHost host?
      answer: >-
        In Canada. FullHost says FullHost.Cloud runs in Montreal and Vancouver,
        and lists Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary and Montreal for its virtual
        machines. Canadian customers contract with Pretecs Networks Inc., doing
        business as FullHost, under British Columbia law. MapleDeploy hosts
        every server in Toronto.
    - question: How does FullHost pricing compare to MapleDeploy?
      answer: >-
        FullHost's Starter VM, with 4 GB of memory, 1 vCPU and 50 GB of SSD
        storage, is listed at C$26.70 a month on monthly billing, unmanaged. Its
        managed VPS plan with 8 GB of memory and 2 CPU cores is C$120.35 a month
        on monthly billing. FullHost.Cloud charges for the resources you reserve
        and the extra your app uses above them, measured each hour. MapleDeploy
        starts at $45 CAD a month for 4 GB RAM, 2 vCPUs and 35 GB of storage,
        with Coolify, OS patches and weekly snapshots included.

{% intro-section %}
FullHost is a Victoria company that sells managed web hosting, WordPress hosting, email, Linux and Windows virtual machines, managed VPS plans and **FullHost.Cloud**, a container platform for developers. MapleDeploy runs Coolify on a dedicated VM in Toronto, for apps you deploy from git or as containers. Both offer hosting in Canada, so the difference is how each one runs your app and how it bills. This page explains when each one fits.

{% content-section title="When FullHost is the right choice" %}

FullHost.Cloud suits apps whose load moves a lot. It deploys from Git or Docker images, runs stacks for Java, PHP, Node.js, Ruby, Python, .NET and Go, and scales your containers up and down automatically. You reserve a baseline and pay for what your app uses above it, measured each hour, and you can run in two Canadian regions, Montreal and Vancouver.

FullHost also fits if you want one Canadian provider for everything. It sells web and WordPress hosting, email, domains and Windows VMs next to its developer platform, and it offers support around the clock. FullHost says it is Canadian-owned, with roots in hosting going back to 2004. If you want a server of your own, its VMs give you full root access.

{% content-section title="When MapleDeploy is the right choice" %}

MapleDeploy fits when you want a predictable bill and a server that is yours. You get a dedicated VM at a flat monthly price that includes a bandwidth allowance, with no per-project or usage fees.

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](/one-click-services). Coolify is open source, so what you build on it isn't tied to us: you could run upstream Coolify on any server later. A FullHost VM can run that kind of stack too, but on an unmanaged VM the patching and upkeep are yours. Our guide to [self-hosting Coolify vs managed Coolify](/blog/self-hosted-vs-managed-coolify) covers that trade.

{% /content-section %}

{% content-section title="What MapleDeploy handles" %}

MapleDeploy runs the server and Coolify together, on a [dedicated VM in Toronto](/canadian-hosting).

- **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](/open-source-stack) 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.

{% content-section title="Comparing the cost" %}

FullHost.Cloud bills by use. Resources are counted in units of 128 MiB of memory, measured each hour: you pay for the units you reserve, plus any your app uses above them. Disk space, external traffic and public IP addresses are billed separately. A small or idle app can cost less than a fixed server, and a busy one can cost more.

MapleDeploy starts at [$45 CAD/month](/#pricing) for a dedicated VM with 4 GB RAM, 2 vCPUs and 35 GB of storage, with no per-project or usage fees. FullHost's Starter VM, with 4 GB of memory, 1 vCPU and 50 GB of SSD storage, is listed at C$26.70 a month on monthly billing, unmanaged. Its managed VPS plan with 8 GB of memory and 2 CPU cores is C$120.35 a month on monthly billing. Starter and Pro include a 30-day free trial.
