Included
Website, email, database, SSL.
cPanel account management
Manage website files, domains, databases, email, PHP settings, SSL, and other account tools through cPanel instead of administering the shared server directly.
PHP and WordPress
Run WordPress and common PHP applications with database access and HTTPS. Plan limits increase as the number and size of sites grow.
Email and databases
Mailbox and database allowances scale with the selected plan, keeping ordinary website services together under one account.
Developer access
SSH and cron are included on eligible plans for deployments, maintenance tasks, scheduled commands, and workflows that need more than a browser control panel.
Canadian infrastructure
The shared-hosting workload is hosted in Canada and billed in Canadian dollars. If data location is a formal requirement, review every outside service used by the application as well as the web server.
Migration path
Moving an existing site? Inventory the files, database, mailboxes, DNS, PHP version, cron jobs, redirects, and certificates before the cutover.
Right-sized hosting
Shared hosting is useful when you do not need a whole server.
It is a practical fit for business websites, WordPress sites, portfolios, blogs, smaller stores, and conventional PHP applications that benefit from a managed hosting environment.
Start on shared hosting
Use a shared plan when the application fits the provided runtime, storage, database, mailbox, process, and resource boundaries.
Measure before upgrading
A slow website may need caching, image work, database tuning, or a plugin fix rather than a larger server. Use resource limits as evidence.
Move to a VPS for control
Choose a VPS when you need operating-system packages, custom services, long-running application processes, reserved resources, or server-level configuration.

Is DotMoose web hosting in Canada?
Yes. The shared-hosting workload is designed to run on Canadian infrastructure. Other services a website chooses to use—such as payment, analytics, email delivery, DNS, or a CDN—can have their own locations.
Does the hosting use cPanel?
Yes. DotMoose shared web hosting uses cPanel for customer account management and WHM on the provider side.
Can I host WordPress?
Yes. WordPress is part of the shared-hosting use case. The site still needs ordinary maintenance such as application updates, sensible plugins, tested backups, and secure administrator access.
When should I use a VPS instead?
A VPS is a better fit when you need root access, custom operating-system packages, persistent application services, custom proxy or database configuration, or resources beyond the shared account boundaries.
