Friends...

#Colocation and/or #VPS #options in eastern #Ontario #Canada run by a #Canadian company?

Preferably centred around or near #Ottawa for coloco. VPS less concerned on location other than #Toronto/ #Ottawa/ #Montreal backbone areas.

Any options? Web searching seems to pull up enterprise grade ($$$) or mickey mouse stuff or US companies with Toronto PoPs.

For frame of reference I currently have stuff on Linode/Akamai and Ionos.

Alternatively, if anyone is operating or interested in starting a coloco cooperative in the #Almonte/ #Renfrew/ #Arnprior/ #CarletonPlace/ #Perth areas please reach out. Maybe there is critical mass to build or I can help something already operating...

"Concepts of a plan..."

Starting to refine the short list for moving hosting [ https://moose.ca ], [ https://fxide.io ], and [ https://fxworks.io ] and others. I'm at the point where architectural considerations need to take centre stage.

Here's my current short-list (random order):

* https://www.lunanode.com
* https://xenyth.net
* https://servarica.com
* https://ca.ovh.com

If anyone has direct experience with these providers I'd love to hear about it! Feel free to DM instead of public mention if so inclined.

If anyone knows of any other providers I should be considering please speak up! Preference is for Canadian hosting companies. If they have a presence overseas even better!

OVH is not a Canadian company but keeping them in the running for now.

My use case is moving ionos.com and linode.com services to other providers in Canada.

Also, I need to decide if I can be bothered running email again. There are Toronto based email services available at reasonable prices. Needs more pondering.

Thx!
