Drupal and WordPress Hosting
Managed Canadian hosting for Drupal and WordPress sites for over 10 years
- Canadian: All data and backups are stored in Canada, on our own equipment, never in “the cloud”. Know exactly where your data is kept!
- Compliant:Meet and exceed compliance with PIPEDA, PIPA, and FOIPPA regulations. Implement best practices for privacy by storing any collected information in Canada.
- Secure: We harden every site we host for security. Our Firewalls, Intrusion Protection and Detection systems, and detailed monitoring are always at work protecting you.
- Fast: Websites do not start out fast, they are tuned that way! We performance-tune every website we host with fast RAM-backed caching.
- Knowledgeable: We have over 10 years of experience hosting Drupal and WordPress sites of all shapes and sizes. When things break, we usually know how to fix them.
Your website is your organization’s public face. Trust it to the experts.
Drupal Hosting
CanTrust Hosting Co-op was formed by Drupal 4.7 developers, so that we could finally have a capable hosting environment for the amazing Drupal sites we were buliding. Drupal has continued to lead the open source CMS world with its enterprise-grade quality and its vibrant developer community. There is almost nothing it cannot do well, given the correct hosting environment. Our Drupal environment includes SSH access with Composer and Drush Launcher pre-installed. Composer runs without timeouts or memory limits to get in your way during updates.

* Usage based billing: Each package includes enough bandwidth and disk space for the average customer using that plan. For most customers, they do not see an overage bill, ever. If you do need extra bandwidth or disk space, you will simply be charged the overage each month on your bill, based on what you actually used the past month. Additional bandwidth is $0.10/GB/month and disk space is $0.25/GB/month.
** Plan Restrictions: Different plans are for different purposes and so some plans have restrictions on use. e-Commerce stores are not supported on Community Plan, due to the excessive server resources they consume. Bulk marketing campaigns are not supported on Community or Professional Plans. We define “ulk marketing campaigns” as campaigns using e-mail lists, or “viral” social media campaigns that are intended to direct lots of users to your site at once. For this type of marketing, you must use the Enterprise plan (or a custom tuned VPS), so that we can tune it properly and it is able to withstand viral traffic spikes and heavy load. Of course sometimes success is a surprise, in which case we might quickly move your site to the correct plan with the appropriate performance tuning, at our discretion.
*** Free Site Move: Free site move includes up to 4 hours complementary support time moving one website from your old provider to CanTrust Hosting. You are responsible for providing all required passwords and logins to previous provider and/or your DNS providers. If additional sites need to be moved, the time will be billed at our regular rate of $100 CAD/hr + GST.
**** Free site security and performance tune: Free security and performance audit includes installation of caching and security settings for production website. The audit may reveal further issues to be resolved by a developer.
