Registry records for the IP addresses serving Navigator-hosted client sites

| Method | The origin IP addresses that Navigator-hosted client domains resolve to were looked up in ARIN's RDAP service, the authoritative registry for North American IP allocations, and by reverse DNS. |
| Excerpt | All six origin addresses sit in netblocks registered to Canadian addresses, two to OVH Montreal and four to Vultr Toronto. |
| Supports | Navigator hosts client websites on servers in Canada, Navigator Multimedia provides web and email hosting |
| Portion supported | That the servers Navigator's client sites resolve to are in IP ranges registered to Canadian operating addresses, and that one range is explicitly named for OVH's Beauharnois, Quebec facility. |
| Limitations | RDAP records the registered administrative address of a netblock, which is strong evidence of where the range is deployed but is not a physical audit of where a given machine sits. The OVH BHS7 naming is the most direct signal; the Vultr sub-allocations registered to a Toronto address are a reasonable but weaker inference. A hosting invoice or provider attestation naming the region would settle it. |

Notes
The question "is the hosting in Canada" is answerable from public registry data without anyone's word for it, which is why it is worth recording separately from the hosting service claim.
