Overview

What is Web Hosting Canada (WHC)?

Web Hosting Canada (WHC) is a leading independent Canadian provider, fiercely defending Data Sovereignty and local performance. Based in Montreal, they differentiate heavily on keeping Canadian data on Canadian soil, compliant with PIPEDA regulations. Their 2020 acquisition of Sibername further cemented their dominance in the .CA domain space and 'To-Be-Released' (TBR) market.

WHC is also a champion of Environmental Responsibility, operating a 'Green Business' certified infrastructure powered by renewable hydroelectric energy. With data centers on both the East (Montreal) and West (Vancouver) coasts, they ensure low-latency access nationwide while maintaining an eco-friendly footprint. They are the go-to choice for Canadian SMEs prioritizing privacy, speed, and sustainability.

Coefficient Applied

This hosting provider's website did not return full HTML content due to bot protection. HTML size was measured as 32KB (under 100KB). Since reliable "Time to 1MB" data could not be obtained, a +205ms coefficient was applied to maintain ranking fairness.

Coefficient Calculation Formula
penalty = (100 - 32) × 2 = +205ms
