      Regarding cloud storage, roll your own! Put your subscription yearly costs into either a prebuilt or self built NAS.

      Here is a list of some Cloud Canadian provider I know:

      • KeepSec (https://www.keepsec.ca/): We are from Montreal, Canada. We are using Open Source Technologies to build our cloud, this allow us to be one of the only cloud with No Vendor Lock-in environment. We started 3 years ago, but we have started selling and promoting only 1 year and a half ago.
      • Resauz (https://www.rezau.com/): Use VMware, an american company to build their cloud. The company started a few weeks ago but seems honest. They are from Quebec, Canada.
      • Micrologic (https://micrologic.ca/): They are from Quebec. They use VMware and RedHat Openshift, two american company for building their Cloud. They exist since a long time (38+ years). They preach for sovereignty in cloud but are using Deep American Technology.

      Hope this help!

    Do you provide managed DNS hosting?

    I’ve got a couple of droplets I would probably move, but I’d like to centralize my NS record provider first.

      We do not have yet our dns service. It is in our pipeline though. We do manage certificates freely on our KPS and on our VPSmini, but no dns management service.

        Thanks, consider me a +1 on your internal prioritization. I know that a lot of places offer DNS management for free (because it scales so well) but I’d be willing to pay a nominal fee to have it be Canadian. I’m already paying right now to have it managed on a hacker-run service rather than a large corporate service.
