Why we cost more than a $3.99 host.
Because $3.99 is not real
It is a teaser rate: at renewal it triples. Over three years the gap with our plans shrinks — except with us, you know upfront what you pay.
Because a competent human costs money
Your support request is read by someone who actually administers the infrastructure and can fix the cause — not a tier-1 agent following a script.
Because the safety net is real
Daily encrypted off-site backups, six-month retention, restorations tested periodically, written SLA with service credits upon request. Included — not sold à la carte.

Questions about pricing.
Is the listed price a promotional rate?
No. It is the price you pay at purchase and at every renewal. That is our answer to the “$3.99/month” deals that become $12 on the second invoice.
Is there a minimum commitment?
No. Hosting plans are monthly and cancellable anytime. Annual payment is available if you prefer a single invoice per year.
Are taxes included?
Prices are in Canadian dollars, taxes extra (GST/QST for Quebec).
What does the 30-day guarantee cover?
If the service does not suit you in the first 30 days, you get a refund. That simple.
