About Astral Internet
Discover Astral Internet: More Than Web Hosting and Domain Names in Canada
Innovations, Exceptional Service, and Local Commitment since 2001
Our Innovations and Network Infrastructure
At Astral Internet, every component of our infrastructure is designed with 100% redundancy.
All our equipment is doubled, if not more, so that a hardware failure does not become an outage for your site. Rooted in Canada, we are proud to offer solutions that are fully hosted and managed locally. In practice, your data stays in Canada, in data centers in the Montreal area, and the person who answers you works here. All traffic entering our infrastructure is checked in real time by two data-center-grade firewalls.
Our Canadian Network Plans
Our network rests on two choices: traffic exchange agreements (peering) with hundreds of partners around the world, and planned redundancy at every link. We connect directly to major network operators and Internet exchange points. For you, that means a shorter path between your visitors and your site, so pages respond faster, and traffic that keeps flowing if one link goes down.
A Scalable and Redundant Network
Upstream, our network connects to several major providers and hundreds of peering partners: if one of them fails, the others take over. The availability of your sites is guaranteed at 99.95%, with no single point of failure and no data packet loss.
The Strategy
First, a local team with vast experience in customer service, networking, and programming. In the second line, fully duplicated equipment in two “Tier III” data centers in the Montreal area: buildings whose power and cooling are themselves redundant and can be serviced without interrupting anything. Your data can be replicated from one to the other.
Innovation in Email Services
Our email service and Managed WordPress solutions are proof of our ability to offer robust alternatives to mainstream solutions like Gmail and Exchange. We are committed to providing high-quality services that meet and surpass our clients’ expectations.
Our History
Founded in 2001, Astral Internet has always had one mission: to improve the experience of web hosting and domain names in Canada, and to become a web host recognized not only in Montreal and Quebec but across Canada and the Francophone world. This includes our exceptional domain name services and Managed WordPress hosting. From the beginning, we have built our own tools, such as the WSA (Web Site Accelerator) module, and placed a special emphasis on the quality of our customer service.
The WSA caches pages with Nginx and Brotli and blocks unwanted bots, directly on cPanel servers. It was built to solve persistent issues their users were running into. Learn more about our cPanel Accelerator.
To stand out, we bet on customer service: sound advice, given with a smile, in English and in French. You can reach us by chat, phone, email or support ticket — phone and chat Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. — and a real person, based here, answers. That is what keeps our customers with us.
Our Trusted Partners
Our store and your client area are PCI DSS validated by SecurityMetrics, an approved assessor (QSA/ASV): your card data is handled according to the payment card industry standard.
