About DotMooseDotMoose is a Canadian hosting provider launched in August 2026 by Mark Shaw, a Calgary-based software engineer. Unlike WHC (established Canadian registrar and host) or Hostinger (global budget hosting), DotMoose is a boutique Canadian alternative: CAD billing, Canadian-operated hosting provider based in Calgary, Alberta, and a deliberately simple lineup — shared hosting, managed WordPress, VPS, dedicated servers, SFTP backup storage, S3 object storage and managed apps. It publishes regular monthly prices with no promo-renewal jumps, includes free SSL and assisted migration, and runs C$0 community hosting programs for eligible Canadian organizations.
About ServaricaServarica is a Canadian-owned and operated hosting provider founded in 2010. It started as an internal hosting project and grew into a full provider with its own routers, ASN and multi-carrier network out of a single Montreal data center. The catalog spans KVM VPS with dedicated cores, NVMe and RAIDz2 storage VPS with daily-expanding disks, dedicated servers from compact EPYC boxes to 192 TB storage giants, a Tesla P40 GPU VPS, and shared hosting with 2 TB plans. All plans sit behind a 99.99% network SLA with cash refunds, and the facility runs on 100% hydroelectric power.

Over the last 30 days of our monitoring, DotMoose had the higher measured uptime. We ping both providers every few minutes from multiple locations — see the uptime graph above.
Yes. Both run standard KVM virtualization, so you can snapshot your server, export the image, and import it on the other provider. For most stacks a fresh deploy plus a data copy is simpler.
