If you use British English, it's "cancelled".

Afaiui, while BrE always doubles the final consonant (eg. travelled, jewelled, cancelled), AmE only doubles it when the final syllable is stressed (eg. controlled, rebelled but traveled, jeweled, canceled).

However you want. You will have to decide whether you want to be perceived as an AmE writer (canceled) or as a BrE writer (cancelled). Since parkserver.net is registered to D.M. Voos, Parkweg 117 a, Groningen, GR, NL, I haven't a clue which form applies in your case.
