Hosting

Canadian website hosting, from $10 a month

Your site runs on servers in New Brunswick. The company is Canadian, the infrastructure is Canadian, and the invoice is in Canadian dollars, so there is no exchange-rate surprise at the bottom of your statement.

Plans and prices

Every price below is Canadian dollars, before tax. Every plan is month to month, with no minimum term and no cancellation fee. Annual billing is optional and works out to twelve months for the price of ten.

The price you sign up at is the price you renew at. There is no introductory rate here that triples in year two.

Storage figures include your backups, so the number on the plan is the number you actually get. Sales tax is extra and depends on your province. Building the site is a separate one-time charge, described below.

Your storage is pooled across every Maple product

Most hosts fence the storage. Your website plan gets a number, your mailbox gets a different number, and if you fill one while the other sits empty, that is your problem to buy your way out of.

Here the figure in the table is a pool, not a fence. It is shared with the other Maple products on your account, in both directions. If your site uses 2 GB of its 25 and your mailboxes are filling up, the mail takes the slack. If you archive a decade of documents into MapleCabinet and the site is quiet, the documents take the slack. You buy space once and spend it wherever it is actually needed that month.

The practical effect is that you stop guessing. Pick the tier that matches your total, not the tier that matches the worst single month of whichever product fills up first.

How this compares

Honestly: on the sticker price you see in an ad, we are more expensive. Budget Canadian hosts advertise entry plans for a few dollars a month. We start at $10.

Those advertised numbers almost always require paying for three years in advance, and they are introductory. The rate you renew at is the number worth comparing, and on most budget plans the renewal is a multiple of the advertised rate. Ours is $10, month to month, and $10 is also what you pay in year four.

So the fair comparison is not our $10 against an introductory teaser rate. It is $10 against whatever that plan actually renews at, with no three-year prepayment, with backups inside the storage figure rather than as an upsell, with the storage poolable against your email and documents, and with the servers and the company in New Brunswick.

Where we are genuinely not the answer: if you want to run WordPress, a database, or anything with server-side code, buy shared cPanel hosting from a general-purpose host. We host static marketing sites. That is a narrower product, deliberately, and we would rather say so than take the money.

Where your site actually lives

On infrastructure in New Brunswick, Canada, run by Joel & Nanz Inc., a New Brunswick company. That matters in three situations, in the order they usually come up.

A vendor questionnaire. The moment you bid for work with a municipality, a health organisation, a school board or a larger company, somebody asks where the data is stored. "Canada" ends that conversation in one line.

A customer asks. Not often, and not all of them. The ones who ask tend to be the ones signing the bigger cheque.

Your privacy policy. Hosting here lets it be short and true instead of long and hedged.

One thing we will not tell you: that Canadian hosting makes you compliant with Canadian privacy law. It does not. The law follows what you do with personal information, not where the server sits. What Canadian hosting removes is an entire category of awkward question about cross-border transfer. The long version is here, and it disagrees with most hosting sales pages.

If you already have a site

You can bring a static marketing site with you. Connect a Git repository, or upload an exported archive from whatever tool built it. If your site is really an application, with logins, a database and server-side logic, a static host is the wrong tool and we will say so rather than sell you one.

If you need the site built

Building is a one-time charge, separate from hosting: $50 for a Starter site, $199 for a Business site, $299 for a Pro site. Larger multi-site work is quoted. If you would rather never touch it again, we also manage sites from $29 a month, which covers two change requests; $79 covers ten.

Common questions

Where are the servers?
New Brunswick, Canada.
Is there a contract?
No. Every plan is month to month, with no minimum term and no cancellation fee. Annual billing is optional and saves two months.
How much storage do I get?
5 GB on Starter, 25 GB on Business, 100 GB on Pro and 500 GB on Enterprise. Backups count against that figure, so the number on the plan is the real number.
Can I share that space with my email?
Yes, in both directions. Storage is pooled across your Maple products, so unused website space can be used by MapleMail or MapleCabinet, and space you are not using there can be used by your site.
Does the price go up at renewal?
No. The price you sign up at is the price you renew at. We do not run an introductory rate that resets in year two.
What is not included?
Your domain registration, sales tax, and anything needing a database or server-side code. Email is a separate product.
Can I leave?
Yes, and you take the site and the domain with you. How to move a site without breaking your email.
