Company and Services
dotCanada is a shared web host that has been in operation since 2002 and prides itself on supplying simple, easy to understand hosting solutions.
Among dotCanada’s strongest selling points are its zero downtime hosting promise and control panel that allows users to configure all of their personal hosting options from one central location.
As well as including ftp packages, email accounts and databases, there is also a one-click installation feature for adding blogging and forum applications to hosted websites. The built-in website creation tool has about 500 templates to choose from and the company states that a very basic site can be up and running in as little as 30 minutes.
There are drag-and-drop options as well as plenty of royalty-free buttons and images to ensure website individuality.
These and other features make dotCanada a popular choice for the novice site builder, or small business that requires a web presence, as installation, access and updating are relatively easy and jargon free.
There is a strong customer support focus at dotCanada with a 24-hour call center that can be reached on a toll free number. There is also email support and an online request form. dotCanada has a generally good reputation for customer satisfaction.
