[kwlug-disc] Hosting

[Erik L]

Chris,

Caneris offers affordable and reliable VPS out of 151 Front in Toronto, which meet your requirements, and we're locally focused with a KW presence as well. You'll find more details at http://www.caneris.com/VPS (or http://www.caneris.com/Hosting for non-VPS services, though the shared hosting might not fit exactly what you've described).

All of our hosting/colo/VPS services include DNS hosting as well (one domain/zone is included at no extra cost).
