What Are Your Server's Technical Specifications?

dotCanada runs a modern, performance-focused hosting stack designed to keep your website fast, stable, and secure. Here's a look at the key technologies powering our servers.

Web Server

LiteSpeed Web Server - significantly faster than Apache for most workloads, with built-in caching support that accelerates WordPress and other dynamic sites without extra configuration.

Operating System & Isolation

CloudLinux - each hosting account runs in an isolated environment (CageFS) with its own resource limits. This means one busy account can't slow down or affect your site.

Database

MariaDB - a high-performance, open-source database system fully compatible with MySQL, used by WordPress, Joomla, and most modern web applications.

PHP

PHP 8.x - we support current and recent versions of PHP, including PHP 8.x, so your applications can take advantage of the latest performance improvements and security patches. You can select your PHP version from cPanel.

Storage

SSD Storage - all accounts are hosted on fast solid-state drives, delivering quicker read/write speeds and faster page load times compared to traditional hard drives.

Location

All servers are located in Canada, keeping your data on Canadian soil and delivering low latency for Canadian visitors.
