Dedicated servers in Canada are a perfect solution for those who want to launch a project with a target audience in North America. Canadian data centers are directly connected to the main internet channels in USA, which allows you to transfer data with minimal latency. At the same time, the servers’ costs are much lower than similar offers in the United States. That’s why renting a dedicated server in Canada is not only a powerful but also a profitable solution.
Servers are located in Montreal and Beauharnois. All data centers are equipped according to the N+1 scheme — in any situation, there is always a backup power source. Servers can be united into a virtualized local network. Features include KVM-over-IP and free server management.
The most important feature of the servers in Canada is a direct connection to the USA Internet channels. This allows you to transfer data to the USA users with a minimal latency.
These are the typical projects in USA that need a dedicated server in Canada:
Servers in Canada are suitable for any project, but some projects might get more benefits in other locations. Besides servers in Canada, Unihost offers:
CentOS:
Debian / Ubuntu :
The software mentioned above may be selected by you while configuring server order. Upon completion of the installation and activation, you will get access to the server on your email with the operating system already installed on it.
If this software is not suitable for you, you can install any software with the help of our administrators or by yourself through your personal account or IP-KVM access.
Basic management for free with every Unihost dedicated server. Also offering Managed PRO packages with monitoring for immediate troubleshooting and preventing all possible issues in advance.
Each Unihost server in Canada comes with 500 GB backup storage. The storage is connected to the server via a VLAN and the connection is encrypted so as not to compromise the data transfer.
If you are tired of constantly repeating the SSH commands and seeing your project in black-and-white colors of your terminal — connect to your server with KVM-over-IP. Now you can manage it as if it stands right at your desk!
We are using a heuristic filtration system that stops traffic from malicious IPs before it even reaches the server. Average reaction time is 1 minute. We also offer a hardware firewall for those who want to set up their own defenses.
You want to connect two servers but do not want to buy the whole rack and waste your money on additional network cards? Connect the servers with a virtual network! It’s free and allows you to connect any amount of servers in the same data сenter.
Additional IPs will let you forget about the software incompatibilities, as well as protect your project’s control panel. In Canada, IPv6 are provided for free.
A convenient Client Area that allows you to reboot or reinstall the OS, see the server stats, backup the important data and do thousands of other operations without the terminal or a remote desktop.
Protect your servers from hackers and unnecessary stress! Hardware firewall filters all malicious traffic before it even reaches the server. You won’t have to waste the server resources on the hackers and attackers!
External NAS storage comes with up to 13 TB of space that is perfect for storing a common database for several servers. Each storage is based on the RAID10 array with SATA interface and can work with up to 10 servers at the same time.
Data centers use modern air conditioning tech that allows cooling each server separately with both water- and air-based cooling systems. In the end, data centers use 30% less energy on cooling.
Data centers in Canada had passed a check by the ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 1 Type II and SOC 2 Type II standards and have a STAR certificate based on the CSA standards. We regularly have seminars and training on information security.
Each server comes with a license for an ISPmanager 6 Lite control panel (market price — 7€ /mo). ISPmanager is a full analog of cPanel and allows you to manage the server without a console, through a convenient web interface.
All servers have direct connection to the main highways of USA, Canada and Europe. Unlimited traffic and DDoS protection are provided for free.
A dedicated server is one of the most powerful hosting options available. A dedicated server means it is exclusively for you, so you don’t have to share your dedicated resources with anyone else.
Linux server – via an encrypted SSH connection.
Server with Windows OS – via RDP.
We provide for free ISPmanager 6 Lite control panel to each server (market price — €7 /mo). If ISPmanager 6 is not suitable, you can purchase another panel – cPanel, Plesk. Full list is available in shopping cart.
By default, we offer a dozen Linux distributions, Windows Server, several dedicated control panels and some other software. You can pick it either in the cart during the purchase or in the Unihost Client Area. You can also install any software you want, except for any that may harm the server itself or other Unihost servers.
Yes, it is possible to order additional IPs. You can learn more about the pricing on additional IPs for the servers in the Client Area or during the purchase procedure.
For detailed information, please contact online support.
Yes, you can order both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
RAID is a technology that allows you to combine the storage drives into a single array, which helps to prevent data loss if one of the drives gets broken. RAID comes in various kinds:
Software RAID means that the repartitioning will happen at the OS level, while Hardware RAID repartitions the drives before the OS is even loaded. The latter is more reliable and fast since the server doesn’t have to waste resources to manage the RAID structure. Besides, Hardware RAID is the only option that can survive the OS reinstallation.
You can reboot it from the Client Area. While there, you can also check the server’s stats and reinstall the OS. If for whatever reason you can’t do this, contact the Unihost support.
