I thought we’d take a moment to highlight some Canadian deals we’ve posted recently. But first, a North American geography trivia question:
Without looking at a map, which country is due south of Detroit, Michigan?
Answer after the jump.
Ponder that one while you browse some deals:
- ServerHub has an awesome dedi deal: Dual E5-2630L (hexacore) with 32GB of RAM and 2x 500 HDD, 20TB bandwidth (upgradable) in Toronto for only $39.50/month!
- HostNamaste has OpenVZ VPSes starting at $3/month on annual contract in Toronto!
- GardenCloud had a special deal back in April which is long gone, but you can still get Shared Hosting for $4/YEAR and cheap VPS systems starting at $2.25/month
- And if you’re looking for big storage (or just a good VPS), servaRICA (Montreal) is the obvious choice with tons of great offers, like a 2TB storage VPS for only $48/YEAR
Alas, I haven’t found any offers from Edmonton, Winnipeg, or Calgary in our archives. Gap in the market, providers?
The answer to my trivia question is: Canada!
If you’re from Michigan, Ohio, or Ontario, you probably knew this. If your answer was Cuba or Brazil, don’t feel bad: in my experience, no one who isn’t from the area or looking at a map gets this one right.

The page linked to last doesn’t show any 4TB storage plans for $48/year. There’s a 2TB plan for $48/year, but the 4TB plan is $143/year. Perhaps you were looking at the BW allocation? There’s also a 200GB SSD plan with 4TB of BW for $48/year.
We have corrected that error.
Misleading post!
Sorry for the confusion, we corrected that error.
wouldn’t this be raising one’s latitude?
