Hey! It’s my first post!
I have a few websites that are hosted in the USA. I’m going to move them all to Canadian hosts. I’m looking for recommendations for hosting companies in Canada that are owned by Canadians. I’ve look at a few but first hand experience is always welcome.
Most of my sites are just basic html/css/javascript but one of them is a wordpress storefront. I specifically need the Wordpress site to be as fast as possible - a difficult task for wordpress, I know.
Also, glad to see this community! Great stuff!
I looked into this, because I was curious.
Sounds like the common thread in all the complaints revolve around HostPapa being unable to handle the constant barrage of pen-testing that a WordPress site gets exposed to, and trying to alleviate by forcing WP sites off shared hosting.
So, ya, if you’re running a WP site, would not recommend. By my read, it’s probably a legitimate issue and users are probably not overreacting.
I’ve never ran anything aside from bespoke PHP on hostpapa, and I had no issues with that… But honestly my read of the WP situation would scare me off HostPapa for sure.
Sounds like I need to migrate away from wordpress. Which I kind of already knew.
My experience as well. Other hosting providers as well though. WP is the big target. I haven’t recommended it for a decade.
