If the server is located in Canada, then the sale occured in Canada and is subject to GST.
If the web server is located outside Canada, it is not so clear.
To be absolutely safe, you should incorporate in the country where the server is located, and book the sales in that corp.
It *may* be sufficient to establish a business presence in the country where the server is located. Problem is, whether you have a business presence is open to arguement.
Having a mailing address *might* be enough. Being able to show that you rent space, and incur costs associated with it, should do the trick. Have a "custodian of records" in the country of the server, pay rent, and get a rebate when you holiday there.
Big corps do shit like this all the time.
