@Stewart, my response to "What's a good Canadian web hosting provider?" is 1200 words, plus I wrote on the answer wiki:
--- A Canadian web hosting provider should: 1. have servers located in Canada; 2. be owned by Canadian citizens or registered as a Canadian corporation; and 3. comply with The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) <https://www.priv.gc.ca/en/privacy-topics/privacy-laws-in-canada/the-personal-information-protection-and-electronic-documents-act-pipeda/> set by the Canadian government (rather than the USA PATRIOT ACT <http://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/pubs_pol/gospubs/tbm_128/usapa/faq-eng.asp>). A positive feature would be acceptance of payment in Canadian dollars (rather than a requirement of U.S. dollars). --- I considered 7 alternatives: Planethoster, HostUpon, Web Hosting Canada, Funio, Cirrus Tech, Dynamic Hosting, and Hostpapa. Different people make different decisions, based on their own needs. On Thu, Jul 19, 2018 at 12:05 PM Stewart C.
