CanHost Infrastructure Summary

Official ARIN organization: Canhost Inc. (CANHO-2)

September 13, 2026 audit

About Canhost Inc.

Canhost Inc. is a Canadian hosting and network infrastructure provider based in Kelowna, British Columbia. AS40438 was allocated by ARIN on February 21, 2007. The network advertises 66.209.176.0/20, representing 4,096 IPv4 addresses, along with the native IPv6 allocation 2607:7300::/32. The current direct upstream snapshot shows Rogers Communications (AS812) and TELUS Communications (AS852).

HostScout Verification: Canadian Ownership & Infrastructure

Four evidence areas used to separate company ownership, physical hosting, network control and route behaviour.

4-part audit
1

Canadian legal entity and ARIN allocation

Canhost Inc. is registered in ARIN under OrgID CANHO-2, with AS40438 allocated in February 2007. The current corporate and legal address used in the research record is 2 - 3190 Sexsmith Road, Kelowna, British Columbia.

2

Physical hosting infrastructure in Kelowna

CanHost identifies 1405 St Paul Street, Suite 105 in Kelowna as its data-centre and colocation location. The company publishes details about its power, server, storage and network infrastructure at that site.

3

Direct upstream relationships with Rogers and TELUS

The AS40438 routing snapshot used for this audit shows Rogers Communications Canada (AS812) and TELUS Communications (AS852) as the two direct upstream networks. Actual end-to-end routes still depend on the source network.

4

Canadian data residency with route-by-route verification

The hosting location and provider control are Canadian, but internet routing is not automatically domestic. The MTR samples below include both Canadian entry paths and routes that traverse U.S. backbone locations before reaching CanHost in Kelowna.

Dual-Homed Canadian Upstreams: Rogers (AS812) & TELUS (AS852)

CanHost originates AS40438 and the current relationship snapshot shows two direct Canadian upstreams. The end-to-end measurements below are deliberately kept separate from the BGP relationship itself because a Canadian upstream does not guarantee that every source network will choose an all-Canadian path.

Short answers based on the same infrastructure and network evidence used throughout this page.

            

          


          

                          

                
What are CanHost's documented physical addresses in Kelowna?

                
The corporate and legal address used in the audit is 2 - 3190 Sexsmith Road, Kelowna, BC V1X 7S6. The data-centre and colocation location is 1405 St Paul Street, Suite 105, Kelowna, BC V1Y 2E4.

              

                          

                
What are CanHost's ASN, ARIN Org ID and IP allocations?

                
CanHost operates AS40438 under ARIN OrgID CANHO-2. The audit records the IPv4 prefix 66.209.176.0/20, which contains 4,096 IPv4 addresses, and the IPv6 allocation 2607:7300::/32.

              

                          

                
Which upstream networks connect directly to AS40438?

                
The routing snapshot used for this research shows Rogers Communications Canada (AS812) and TELUS Communications (AS852) as the two direct upstreams for AS40438.

              

                          

                
Do routes to CanHost always stay inside Canada?

                
No. CanHost is Canadian and its hosting facility is in Kelowna, but route selection depends on the source network. The September 13 MTR samples include routes that crossed U.S. backbone locations before reaching Rogers or TELUS and then entering AS40438.

              

                          

                
How large is the network footprint shown in this audit?

                
The September 13 snapshot recorded 4,096 IPv4 addresses, a /32 IPv6 allocation, 3,303 hosted domains in the referenced dataset, and router observations concentrated in Kelowna with one important-router location reported in Lake Country.
