This may be stating the obvious but ...

Many non-US residents are thinking about changing hosts to someone not based in the US. If you go that route and are considering a Canadian host, check first to see if their data centre (not center LOL) is actually located in Canada. An e-mail or whois.sc query will usually straighten this out. A lot of hosts in Canada simply rebrand an American product as their own. Getting a Canadian company does not guarantee you a Canadian host. Caveat emptor!
