19 Years of Great Canadian Web Hosting
Abivia Hosting is a 100% Canadian provider of web hosting and web security services. We've been offering hosting since 2005. Our mission is to provide high performance, reliable, and secure hosting services at a reasonable cost.
Our Story
Back around 2003, our main business was building websites. Our customers picked a web host, we built a site and got it running. But when there was a hosting issue customers preferred to call us. We started to offer "host liaison" services but we couldn't fix apathetic support, poorly configured servers, or a cavalier approach to security. It wasn't long before we leased our first VPS and started to offer hosting to our web customers. Since then we've grown to offer shared and dedicated server hosting on high performance servers in Canadian data centres, and server management for customer supplied servers in the data centre of their choice.
Security, Performance, and Backups
We don't think customers should have to pay extra to keep their site secure. Our plans feature free SSL certificates for the life of your plan, not just the first year. We fight hackers with a custom set of ModSecurity rules, a dynamic firewall that blocks attacks in real time, and vulnerability scanners to stop hackers in their tracks.
Our shared hosting plans run under CloudLinux, which guarantees complete isolation between accounts, as well as load distribution. Our latest generation of servers features bus-attached solid state drives for unmatched performance, and we offer Turbo Hosting plans with extra horsepower for high traffic sites.
Most hosting providers keep one day of backups, if that. We keep 30 days worth, off-site. We also keep monthly backups for a year. If something goes wrong with your site, we've got your back.
We're Developer Friendly and Reseller Friendly
If you're building your own site, or if you build sites for clients, our web development heritage means our support team understands the issues you face. Our experience helps with any PHP application and we've got specific expertise with Laravel, Wordpress, Joomla, OpenCart, and other popular environments.
If you're building your own application, you'll appreciate our support for git, ssh access, multiple versions of Node.js, PHP, Python, Ruby, and much more.
Tired of Being Hacked?
If your site has been hacked and your host won't help, or if they've suspended your account and left you to figure it out, transfer your hosting to us and select our guaranteed website clean-up option. As long as your site hasn't been irreparably damaged, we'll get you back online and hosted in a more secure environment.
