What they offer
Web Hosting
Beginner-friendly shared hosting listed at $2.95 per month on a 3-year discounted term, renewing at the regular rate.
WordPress Hosting
Hosting built around the WordPress content management system, listed from $2.95 per month on a 3-year discounted term.
VPS & Dedicated Hosting
VPS plans with dedicated server resources from $4.95 per month, and dedicated servers at a flat $79.95 per month.
Domain Registration
Registration across more than 400 extensions, with a free domain included for the first year with most hosting plans.
Business Email
Email on your own domain name with virus scanning, spam filtering and webmail access, plus optional Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 integration.
What it replaces
Where the fit is imperfect, we say so. A substitution that quietly drops a capability you depend on isn’t a saving.
Shared web hosting
Bluehost
The advertised $2.95 monthly price applies to a 3-year discounted term and renews at the regular rate, so it is not a like-for-like monthly comparison.
All Canadian alternatives to Shared web hostingDomain registration
GoDaddy
The free domain applies only to the first year and only with most hosting plans; listed extension prices such as .ca at $19.99 and .com at $15.99 are separate.
All Canadian alternatives to Domain registrationBusiness email suites
Google Workspace
HostPapa's email is a hosting-bundled mailbox with webmail, not a document and collaboration suite, so it does not replace Workspace apps.

Squarespace
HostPapa's drag-and-drop builder ships with over 100 templates but is tied to its hosting plans and the starter plan is included free with hosting rather than sold standalone.
