How It Works
How HostScout Checks a Website
Before showing a location result, HostScout checks the public DNS and network signals behind the domain so a CDN or incomplete result is not presented as a confirmed origin server.
Check Location & Network
Each public IP is checked for approximate country, city, ASN and network organization using the local GeoLite databases.
Check for a CDN or Reverse Proxy
Major CDN and reverse-proxy signals are checked before a public IP is treated as useful evidence of the website's origin location.
Important Distinction
Hosted in Canada does not mean Canadian-owned.
A foreign hosting company can operate servers in Toronto, Montréal or Vancouver. This tool checks the publicly visible hosting location and network; it does not automatically determine the legal ownership of the hosting company.
Likewise, a website's public server location does not prove that databases, backups, email or other services remain in Canada.
