Take Off, Eh! Why Hosting in America Makes You a Hoser

Take Off, Eh? Don’t Be a Hosting Hoser
Listen up, ya hoser. If you’re running a Canadian business but hosting your website in the U.S., you might as well be drinking warm beer and cheering for Team USA in the Olympics, ask yourself is that something Joe would do? lets Reflect

Joe: “Hey, I’m not a lumberjack, or a fur trader.
I don’t live in an igloo, or eat blubber, or own a dogsled.
And I don’t know Jimmy, Sally, or Suzy from Canada, although I’m certain they’re really, really nice.
I have a Prime Minister, not a President.
I speak English and French, NOT American.
And I pronounce it ‘ABOUT,’ NOT ‘A BOOT.’
I can proudly sew my country’s flag on my backpack.
I believe in peacekeeping, NOT policing.
DIVERSITY, NOT assimilation.
AND THAT THE BEAVER IS A TRULY PROUD AND NOBLE ANIMAL.
A TOQUE IS A HAT, A CHESTERFIELD IS A COUCH, AND IT IS PRONOUNCED ‘ZED’ NOT ‘ZEE,’ ‘ZED’!!!
CANADA IS THE SECOND LARGEST LANDMASS! THE FIRST NATION OF HOCKEY! AND THE BEST PART OF NORTH AMERICA!
MY NAME IS JOE!! AND I AM CANADIAN!!!!”

It’s 2025, and hosting your website in another country when you’re serving Canadian customers is as outdated as a dial-up modem.

Here’s why American hosting is a beauty of a bad idea and why keeping your site north of the border with CanHost is the smartest move for performance, security, and SEO.

Hosting in America? What Are You, a Hoser?

Alright, let’s break it down like a good ol’ hockey fight—here’s why hosting in the U.S. is a bad call for any Canadian business.

You’re Slowing Down Your Own Website

Hosting your site in the U.S. is like sending your internet traffic on a road trip through rush hour Toronto—it’s slow, frustrating, and completely unnecessary.

A 1-second delay in load time can cut conversions by 7%.
Google ranks fast websites higher, and U.S. hosting adds lag for Canadian visitors.
More delays = more lost customers.

If you think a faster, smoother website experience doesn’t matter, you’re already losing sales to competitors who host locally.

Take off, eh! Upgrade to CanHost now.

Your Data is About as Secure as a Beaver Dam in a Storm

You like your privacy, right? Well, guess what? If your website is hosted in the U.S., your data isn’t really yours. The U.S. CLOUD Act means American authorities can access your business and customer data—without your consent.
Canadian hosting keeps your business protected under Canada’s stronger privacy laws. If you’re collecting customer data, processing payments, or handling sensitive info, hosting in America is a legal risk you don’t need. Host in Canada and keep your business safe.

Google Rewards Canadian-Hosted Websites

Want to show up higher in Google search results when Canadians are looking for your products? Well Google prioritizes locally hosted websites for country-specific searches. So a .ca domain + Canadian hosting gives you a search ranking boost in Canada beauty eh! and hosting in the U.S. tells Google your site is for Americans you hoser.
