## 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 vps in Canada?

Prices start at $4.50 per month at our YYZ-1 · Markham facility and reach $111.50 for the largest configuration. DDoS scrubbing, a routed IPv6 /64 and full root access are included.

### Why choose Canada for this?

With 12 ms to New York and 79 ms to London, Toronto's TorIX exchange gives strong North American latency. Canada's notice-and-notice copyright law means hosts forward complaints rather than remove content, making it calmer than the US for routine notices. There is no general data retention mandate. It suits those needing North American presence outside the US, seedboxes with a mild copyright profile, and backups near US users.

### What is the catch with Canada?

Toronto offers a practical advantage within a Five Eyes country: under notice-and-notice, hosts must forward copyright complaints to customers, not delete content. This makes it materially calmer than New York for common complaints, but it is not private. CSE operates under a foreign-intelligence mandate, and Canada is a founding Five Eyes member. Expect good latency and mild copyright posture, but no jurisdictional protection.

### Do you require identity verification in Canada?

No. The token-only model applies in all 16 locations. You never provide a name, email, phone, or ID, and settlement is crypto-only.
