The company has been built from the ground up by a team of passionate web professionals who believe in helping clients succeed online. WHC.ca is accredited by the Canadian Internet Registry Authority as one of Canada&#8217;s leading providers of .ca domain names. WHC.ca claims to be one of the fastest-growing web hosting companies in the country.<\/p>\n<h2>WHC.ca Data Centers Locations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Montreal, Quebec, Canada<\/li>\n<li>Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Services Offered by WHC.ca and Prices<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Shared Web Hosting<\/strong>: starting at $3.89 per month<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reseller Hosting<\/strong>: starting at $15.96 per month<\/li>\n<li><strong>WordPress Hosting<\/strong>: starting at $3.49 per month<\/li>\n<li><strong>VPS Hosting<\/strong>: starting at $17.49 per month<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dedicated Servers<\/strong>: starting at $123.99 per month<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>WHC.ca Money-back refund guarantee<\/strong>: 30 days<\/p>\n<h2>WHC.ca Coupon<\/h2>\n<p>If you are considering <a href=\"https:\/\/webhostingsites.ca\/go\/whc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><strong>WHC.ca<\/strong><\/a> for your hosting, you should take a look through our selection of valid WHC.ca coupon codes to save money on your web hosting plan:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>WHC.ca up to 51% discount code = <a href=\"https:\/\/webhostingsites.ca\/go\/whc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><strong>WEBPRO<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/webhostingsites.ca\/go\/whc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Find out more about WHC\u2019s services<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>WHC.ca Overview \u2013 Is WHC.ca a Good Web Host?<\/h2>\n<p>WHC.ca has been in business for 17 years. They claim more than 35,000 happy customers and over 130,000 websites hosted. This company appears to be a good choice if you&#8217;re looking for a homegrown Canadian company that is unapologetically pro-Canada. You might take a look at them if you are interested in green hosting but don&#8217;t want to go with a provider outside the country. WHC.ca brings a lot to the table including the trusted cPanel admin panel, Canadian geolocation and one-click installs of more than 300 web apps.<\/p>\n<h2>WHC.ca Reviews \u2013 What Do Customers Say About WHC?<\/h2>\n<p>WHC.ca gets more positive reviews than negative. Customers who sing their praises say that WHC&#8217;s customer service and support are both outstanding. Reviewer after reviewer has remarked about how helpful company technicians are when problems arise. Support requests are answered quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Support is available via phone, WHC&#8217;s ticketing system, and 24\/7 chat. Many reviews discuss chat-based support in positive terms. One particular reviewer noted how surprised he was that chat support was so easy to access. He apparently went into it thinking that it wasn&#8217;t going to work out well.<\/p>\n<p>Users also seem to appreciate WHC&#8217;s speed. One after another says that website speed increased after transferring to WHC.ca from another provider. This is a bit surprising given that WHC.ca only has two data centres \u2013 one on each coast. However, they appear to know how to maximize the speed.<\/p>\n<p>WHC.ca generally gets good reviews for reliability, scoring somewhere around seven or eight out of 10 on many review sites. However, among those reviewers who did complain, spotty reliability was a chief concern. They say that sometimes their sites work flawlessly while other times performance is up for grabs.<\/p>\n<p>Review after review speaks about how friendly the WHC.ca staff is. Many reviewers speak of staff members on a first name basis. That says something. Any company that receives that kind of love knows how to interact with customers. Along those same lines, WHC.ca staff seem to make a concerted effort to respond to reviews. We noted several instances in which a staff member personally thanked a reviewer for the kind words.<\/p>\n<h2>WHC.ca vs HostPapa<\/h2>\n<p>In head-to-head ratings from a number of professional reviewers, WHC.ca seems to do better than HostPapa in most categories. HostPapa scores higher in reliability, but WHC.ca wins the day in pricing, support, user-friendliness, and features. WHC.ca is also generally rated higher for speed. This is something reflected in user reviews.<\/p>\n<p>Shared hosting plans also turn in WHC&#8217;s favour. WHC.ca offers unlimited storage space and bandwidth but limits new customers to just a single site for their starter plan. HostPapa offers two sites at a comparable price, but unlimited bandwidth is offset by storage space capped at 100 GB.<\/p>\n<p>The VPS plans for both providers are comparable; WHC.ca wins the day with dedicated servers. Both providers offer email support, phone support, and live chat. Both also provide an extensive knowledge base, though WHC.ca does not provide the video guides you get with HostPapa.<\/p>\n<h2>WHC.ca vs GreenGeeks<\/h2>\n<p>We noted that WHC.ca does not score as well as HostPapa in terms of reliability. It turns out they are not as reliable as GreenGeeks either. Nor is WHC&#8217;s pricing as low. WHC.ca is on the higher end of the pricing scale for most of their plans. Shared hosting is limited in terms of storage but not in bandwidth. GreenGeeks is unlimited in both regards.<\/p>\n<p>It is curious that WHC.ca is generally rated lower than GreenGeeks in terms of customer service, given the number of outstanding customer reviews we found. Based on reviews alone, we would consider customer service equal among the two companies.<\/p>\n<p>WHC.ca does not compete so much on VPS hosting, but they do very well with dedicated hosting. WHC&#8217;s dedicated server plans offer twice the resources at half the price of similar plans from GreenGeeks. We would say that VPS and dedicated hosting are split between the two. GreenGeeks wins with VPS; WHC.ca wins with dedicated servers.<\/p>\n<h2>WHC.ca vs Rebel.com<\/h2>\n<p>Both WHC.ca and Rebel.com offer unlimited plans for new shared hosting customers. WHC&#8217;s price is about 50% higher for the starter plan and offers a single website and green power. Free site migration is included. Rebel.com&#8217;s starter pack, along with being cheaper, also includes free migration and the opportunity to choose your own server.<\/p>\n<p>Rebel.com offers 20 email addresses with its Personal package and 100 with the Startup package. By contrast, WHC.ca offers unlimited email addresses \u2013 although they do limit the number of outgoing emails you can send in an hour.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, both companies offer 4 VPS plans with Rebel.com winning on price. Their starting price is $8.10 per month as opposed to WHC&#8217;s $17.49 per month. And by the way, these are introductory prices. Both go up after a limited time. If all other things were equal, Rebel.com would beat out WHC.ca on pricing. However, WHC.ca appears to offer more features.<\/p>\n<h2>WHC.ca Review Conclusion \u2013 Should You Use WHC?<\/h2>\n<p>It is hard to get past the two main aspects most people talk about in relation to WHC: customer support and pricing. Customers absolutely love this company for its service and support. As such, they might be a good choice if you are not web hosting savvy.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, WHC&#8217;s higher prices could be a deal breaker. They are not your best choice if you are attempting to secure web hosting on a budget. No doubt you will pay higher prices with WHC.ca than other providers.<\/p>\n<p>WHC&#8217;s ace in the hole is its Canadian location.
