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 UltaHostUltaHost is a US-incorporated hosting provider (UltaHost, Inc, Delaware) founded in 2018, with 27+ data centers across six continents. It covers the whole range from cheap shared hosting to 64-core bare metal — and, unusually for the budget segment, its VPS and VDS plans are fully managed by default. The business model is classic budget hosting: aggressive 24-month promo rates, 24/7 live chat, and a strong focus on WordPress, reseller and game-server audiences.
