Website hosting

I host websites for people, non-profit organizations and small businesses. For your money you get a shared hosting environment managed by a system administrator who had been running and supporting online systems since BinkleyTerm and Opus.

You get a personal touch and as much or as little intervention as you need. If I am maintaining your application or content, I charge hourly.

Static sites

Not a lot of people need these any more. They’re resource-light and can be beautiful. But they are a lot of work to maintain. That’s you doing the work, mind. Me, I just give your files a place to stay and set up the machine to show them when someone calls. That’s $50 CAD per year.

For that you get:

  • Email and aliases
  • Limited use of PHP (includes, a contact form)
  • A reasonable amount of storage

Database-driven sites

My server is optimized for WordPress, which runs about 40 per cent of the internet’s websites these days. But I can also host Drupal, Joomla and other PHP and database-driven content management systems. My hosting rate for these is $120 CAD per year.

For that you get:

  • Email and aliases
  • A single website and database
  • A reasonable amount of storage
  • Backups

Other arrangements

I can offer you more storage, multiple websites, self-serve aliases and installations and what not but I don’t guarantee it. You’ll have to contact me and convince me that you don’t pose a risk to my server or my conscience.
