Virtual Private Server
100% Canadian
VPS hosting
Give yourself total control with full admin access and choice of Linux OS.
Why invest in VPS over shared hosting?
The dedicated environment provides exclusive resources and more control than basic shared hosting. SSD storage and optimized configurations increase performance and software isolation and custom firewall rules increase security. For example, your logins can be locked down to your IP addresses and email infrastructure not installed unless required.
What’s included?
Working with your IT team, a cut-over with minimal downtime. Ongoing management of hardware, OS updates, security patching, server monitoring, performance tuning and assisting your application developers. For complete peace of mind, our VPS hosting is backed by a 100% uptime guarantee.

We recently worked with The Wire to upgrade our website’s hosting to a Virtual Private Server, and we couldn’t be happier with the service. Throughout the process, the team was informative, prompt in their responses, and delivered the solution quickly and efficiently. Their professionalism and technical expertise made the transition smooth and stress-free.
