Shared, dedicated or cloud — chosen for the workload rather than the price list, set up for you, and managed by the person who set it up.
Hostingport provides managed shared hosting, dedicated servers and AWS cloud infrastructure from Halifax, Nova Scotia, to clients across Canada.
Migrations, DNS management, TLS, backups and email deliverability are part of the service rather than add-ons, and every account is configured and supported by one operator instead of a ticket queue.
Hosting
Most clients start on shared and move up when something forces the issue. We'll tell you which one you need now — and say plainly when you don't need to move yet.
What's included
The same care applies whichever berth you're in. No plan tiers gating the parts that keep a site alive.
We stage the site, test it, cut over at low traffic and stay on the line through propagation. Databases and mail come with it.
How a migration runsSPF, DKIM and DMARC configured and monitored, with authenticated relay so invoices and password resets stop landing in spam.
Fixing deliverabilityDNS managed for you, with sane TTLs and same-day changes — including the awkward ones other hosts refuse to touch.
Certificates issued and renewed automatically, updates applied, and someone actually reading the alerts when something looks wrong.
Automated off-server backups, with the restore performed for you when you need it rather than sold back as an add-on.
Two decades of building the applications, not just hosting them. When the fault turns out to be in the code, we can say so — and often fix it.
Common questions
Three kinds: managed shared hosting for sites and small applications, dedicated servers for workloads that need a whole machine, and cloud hosting on AWS or an existing provider. Migrations, DNS and email deliverability are included with all three rather than sold separately.
Hostingport operates from Halifax, Nova Scotia, and hosts on Canadian infrastructure. Cloud work uses Canadian regions where data residency matters, which is common for clients handling personal information under PIPEDA.
Robert Snell. Hostingport is a one-operator business, so the person who configures your environment is the person who answers when something breaks. There is no tier-one support layer.
There is no published price list because the environments are not identical. Pricing follows the workload — how much resource it needs, how much management it takes, and whether it sits on shared, dedicated or cloud infrastructure. Describe what you run and you will get a number.
Yes. Migration is the most common way clients arrive. The site is staged and tested on the new environment before anything changes, then DNS is cut over at low traffic with databases and mail moved alongside it.
Let's Talk
What the site or application is, where it lives now, and what's gone wrong with it. You'll get a straight answer about whether we're the right fit — including when we're not.
Two details make the first reply useful instead of a round of questions: your domain, and where it's hosted now. If you're reporting a fault, when it started and what changed just before it are worth more than a description of the symptom.
