I did a detailed review of a few Canadian VPS providers last year.

Last year, I moved from DigitalOcean to FullHost (their Vancouver datacentre) for hosting a small SaaS and a bunch of personal projects. It's cheaper and FAR better performance.


Thanks! I'll check it out!


Me too. I’ve been an Apple fan for 3 decades, and the Mac has always been my daily driver.

Here is a delightful article from NYT from last year on this topic. Truly fascinating and bewildering.
