What you're asking for is like 3 different questions:

What's a Canadian registrar you can move your domains to?
What's a Canadian email hosting provider you can move to?
What's a Canadian webhosting provider you can move to? (What do you need? Just Wordpress? A VPS? Dedicated?)

A small business might use the same company for all 3 of these, but if you work in tech or are at a larger company, you may be interested in 3 different answers for these because they're all different specializations.

You are correct. My current hosting provider does email, web hosting, and dns, but is not a registrar. I have my domains elsewhere and am inclined to keep them separate. Dont keep all your eggs in one basket type of thing.

Occasionally I will lab something in html, php, python and whatever database. But my actual web hosting needs are pretty minimal. So email and I'd like to try out Nextcloud again if I can find something with economical storage.
