I think the reason they can offer it so cheap is a combination of scale, cheap electricity, and tax breaks. iWeb is also in Quebec, so I figured there must be some tax break. Lo and behold there is one heck of a tax break:

Basically the Quebec government pays 24% of your company's wages, up to $83,333 per employee!

It's actually even better than that because there's also a national program that pays up to 35% of R&D salaries: http://www.cameronhuff.com/blog/ontario-tax-credits-for-soft.... There are hundreds of smaller special programs that can pay even more (and they often stack).
