## Why Canada

Toronto sits on TorIX with 12 ms to New York and 79 ms to London. Canada has no general retention mandate and runs a notice-and-notice copyright regime — hosts forward complaints instead of removing content — which makes it calmer than the United States for routine notices. It remains a founding Five Eyes member, so treat it as a latency choice.

**Trade-off:** A Five Eyes country with one genuinely useful property: the notice-and-notice regime obliges a host to forward a copyright complaint to the customer, not to remove the content. That makes Toronto materially calmer than New York for the most common complaint type, without making it private — CSE operates under a foreign-intelligence mandate and Canada is a founding Five Eyes member. Good North American latency, mild copyright posture, no jurisdictional protection.

## Frequently asked questions

### How much is a storage in Canada?

Pricing starts at $18.00 per month for the base configuration at YYZ-1 · Markham and reaches $109.50 for the top tier. Every plan includes DDoS scrubbing, a routed IPv6 /64, and full root access.

### Why choose Canada for this?

This location is suited to North American traffic that prefers to avoid the US, seedboxes needing a mild copyright profile, and backup targets for US users. Toronto connects via TorIX, reaching New York in 12 ms and London in 79 ms. Canada has no general data retention mandate and uses a notice-and-notice copyright system, so hosts forward complaints instead of removing content — less aggressive than the US for routine notices.

### What is the catch with Canada?

Toronto is in a Five Eyes country, but the notice-and-notice regime changes the math: a host must forward a copyright complaint to the customer, not take content down. That makes it materially calmer than New York for the most frequent complaint type, yet it is not private. CSE operates under a foreign-intelligence mandate, and Canada is a founding Five Eyes member. You get North American latency and a mild copyright posture, but no jurisdictional shield.

### Do you require identity verification in Canada?

No, token-only registration is available in every one of our 16 locations. We never ask for a name, email, phone, or ID, and all payments are made with cryptocurrency.
