Hosting & Maintenance
We offer three packages to make maintaining your website as stress-free as possible.
Why Hosting & Maintenance
Don’t Risk Downtime
Our client support portal is always available if your website crashes. But if we’re handling your monthly site maintenance there’s significantly less chance that you’ll ever encounter glitches, broken pages, or site outages—and you’ll have priority access to our team for fixes. Let us keep your site safe, secure, up-to-date, and optimized for speed, and we can also host your site via Pantheon. No contract required.
Website Hosting
Powered By Pantheon
We have a Canadian-based, dedicated server environment through our partnership with Pantheon. Dedicated hosting means your site gets all of the server’s bandwidth, instead of sharing it with other websites. What we offer is premium web hosting services, but at shared hosting prices.
