MetroStack review
A Canadian managed WordPress host with staging, backups, CDN delivery, and an uptime SLA.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
MetroStack provides managed WordPress hosting for Canadian businesses, agencies, and site owners. Its plans run on Canadian infrastructure in Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver, with managed WordPress core and plugin updates, NVMe storage, automatic backups, staging sites, malware scanning, server-side caching, CDN delivery, and uptime monitoring. The service is web-based, billed monthly in Canadian dollars, and scales from one to 25 WordPress installations.
Pricing is organized into four monthly plans. Velocity 10 costs CAD 35 and includes 10 GB of NVMe disk, 100 GB of bandwidth, one WordPress installation, free SSL certificates, daily off-premise backups, and free migration. Velocity 20 costs CAD 90 for 30 GB of disk, 500 GB of bandwidth, and five installations. Velocity 40 costs CAD 130 for 50 GB, 1 TB of bandwidth, and 10 installations. Velocity Agency costs CAD 275 for 125 GB, 3 TB of bandwidth, 25 installations, and priority support. All plans include free SSL certificates, daily off-premise backups, and free WordPress migration.
The strongest fit is for teams that value operational safeguards over a low entry price. One-click staging and sandbox environments support changes before publication, while snapshot backup and restore adds another recovery option. Malware scanning and cleanup within 24 hours, server-side full-page caching, an international CDN, and a 99.9% network uptime SLA round out the managed service. DeployHQ and Sucuri are listed integrations. Smaller site owners may find the single-install limit on Velocity 10 restrictive, while agencies should compare the higher monthly tiers against their installation and bandwidth needs. MetroStack suits Canadian businesses seeking managed maintenance and an SLA; it is less suited to buyers looking for a free plan or a low-cost multi-site tier.
