OUTSTANDING HELP
As someone who is very new to building & maintaining websites, I had an issue with exchanging forms on my site. Tyler was extremely helpful in exchanging the forms and sent me direct
ions on how to do this myself. Fantastic Canadian company.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Keeping my data in Canada was a big priority for me. My recent experience with WHC’s support team reaffirmed why I chose them in the first place. I had a technical issue where my URLs weren’t populating correctly, requiring Level 2 support. The team handled it quickly and efficiently, explaining everything in a way that made sense so I could prevent the issue in the future. Philip was especially helpful, going above and beyond to ensure everything was resolved. Exceptional support like this is why I trust WHC. I highly recommend WHC for any level of developer, be it novice or highly experienced.

No way to enable or disable DNSSEC yourself. I managed over 60 domains and I'm not going to contact support every time I transfer or set up a new domain. Tier one support is fast but once an issue is escalated, get ready to wait.

Update: Appreciate the reply but I've been told twice by WHC support that the DNSSEC setting isn't available via self-service. Turned out it is, albeit via a separate, very dated and user-unfriendly portal. Wouldn't be very hard to put a link in your current client area that links and automatically logs into to this old client area, that's the least that should be done. DNSSEC is an important security feature. The inability to self-manage DNSSEC is a significant limitation for anyone that manages a large number of domains.

Web Hosting Canada agent Elane was really helpful in helping me with my issue and then some.

I love Web Hosting Canada. I've been with this company for over 6 years & I recommend it to anyone w
ho's looking for domain & hosting services.

20 stars.

NOTE: If you look at past reviews, I pretty much always add the same review; I only change the name of the agent; the reason for that is because it's true every time.

Hi Jason,

Thank you for your feedback, we understand your frustration.
While it's not currently possible to enable or disable it directly from the Client Area, we recognize the need for this feature and will consider working on it. In the meantime, after investigating with our team, we’ve found a solution that may work for you.

For the two existing domains under your account, you can manage DNSSEC at https://domains.whc.ca/customer using the same email and password as your Client Area.

For other domains you’re planning to transfer in, it might be possible to manage DNSSEC through the same link, depending on the TLD and the registrar used.

Once again, we appreciate your input, as it helps us improve.

Hi Chris,

We're sorry if you had a bad experience with us. We reviewed your previous conversations, and it looks like all were handled on time. During your latest chat with Grace, there was an internet connectivity issue, which may have given the impression that we didn’t want to provide support—we sincerely apologize for that.

However, right after that, you had another chat with one of our colleagues, and the issue was resolved. If you have any additional feedback or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly at feedback@whc.ca. We truly want to make things right.

It’s a scam

It’s a scam. Don’t use there pro and infinite service. They lowered the limit of your website after one maintenance. Every website not functioning. They ask you for an upgrade.

Over a half dozen support tickets and ...

I'm not super techy so have had to open more than a half dozen tickets. Touch wood it continues because I've always gotten a customer care response within 24 hours and the solution I needed to get unstuck. I like that I can get my URL and multiple other products all under the same roof.

Quick response in billing department

Quick response in billing department. Got all I needed done to cancel one domain and renew another. Got all I needed to get done on two domains in minutes. Friendly, informative woman I spoke with. I am proud of the CDN company. They deserve all the accolades they get. Count me in for a 5 star * * * * *

poor change and ticket management

They apply changes on my environment without any advice to their clients, neither obviously testing it. On support, this is a call management performed by secretary tech. Ticket being exchanged from 1 tech to another one, having to re-explain the issue at all times in writing. they do not read them, neither take a look at attached files problem descriptions. my website and mails stop working for me and my clients and nobody cares about it!

James from WHC was very prompt and helpful in resolving the issue related to billing. James made it effortless during the whole process and it literally took 5 minutes to address the issue. I am an IT professional and WHC.ca has always been my choice. I have even recommended it to my contacts who have been using WHC.ca services.
