I just found out about this site: hostingcanada.org

This may be a good place to start your research?

I’ve had a managed Wordpress website with WHC.ca for many years. They have very quick customer service, too.

You can register a domain through them as well, and their servers are in Canada.

For registration, I have always used CanSpace.ca. They seem to have the lowest prices of any Canadian registrar.

If I didn’t care about providence, I would likely use NameSilo or Porkbun, but I prefer to keep my dot-ca domains at a strictly Canadian registrar.

And while I self-host, they also seem to have decent entry-level prices if you’re not overly worried about putting all your eggs into one basket (despite this being a Not Good thing).

If you want to remain resilient against issues with any one provider, split up name registration, DNS, and hosting from each other. That way, if one kills the services you are using, switching to another provider will be much easier. If you plan to set up an eMail server, also consider splitting that up into a separate hosting provider or service provider.

If you plan to set up everything yourself, avoid the $$$ hosting panels like WHM/cPanel. Yes, that particular one is very good, but its price has spiked by a ridiculous amount in the last few years, and IMO it isn’t worth it anymore. There are other control panels that are much lower cost or even no cost that get you almost as far (ease of use + power).
