Since a friend of mine commented in an e-mail to check out his updated web 
site and that he was amazed at the low cost of web hosting I started looking 
around to see what is out there.

The following links may help you in your search.

http://www.canadianwebhosting.com/

The top two Canadian sites appear to be the folowing:
http://hostpapa.ca/
http://www.vistapages.com/

HostPapa offers domain name for life while VistaPages offers more disk space, 
and SSH/SSL but the domain names are an yearly extra cost.

I am planning to move my web site from my current ISP to one of these hosting 
services since I use Rogers for Internet access. My current ISP, which I have 
used for years, keeps reducing services relating to the web servers. They 
recently turned off the ability to run any sort of cgi-bin scripts.

HostPapa looks to be the best choice for me. I'd be interested in any 
information anyone might have on them.
