Bio

Websavers began in 2004 in Halifax, Nova Scotia as the answer to web hosting companies like GoDaddy and HostGator which provide poor technical support to all but the most basic of users. While their agents read from scripts and hope your problem matches, we provide insightful and data-driven answers to every question sent our way.

From the outset our goal was, and remains, to provide do-it-yourself web services that are easier to use than any of our competitors combined with more power at your fingertips. Balancing the power to do nearly anything web-related with a shared hosting account with the simplicity of management is a daunting task that we take on every single day.

Although we started laser-focused with shared web hosting and empowered support at an affordable price, we’ve since expanded into related markets that we found lacking such as, Virtual Private Server hosting, performance-focused WordPress development, and SEO.

We are the company that thousands of individuals and organizations trust every day to keep their websites, emails, and other data secure and consistently available.

We are proudly Canadian. Being based in Nova Scotia, we also bring our Maritime friendliness to work. We are an easy going and energetic team of hosting experts with over 25 years of combined experience working every day for you.

By building a workforce that operates from satellite offices (typically their home) and choosing our datacentre partners carefully we aim to be as environmentally friendly as possible for our industry (read more below). And through our commitment to our community, re-investment of capital in ever-improving software rather than excessive corporate salaries and bonuses, and our use of opt-in (or free) rather than opt-out sales process, we consider ourselves purveyors of ‘beyond-compliance’ corporate social responsibility.

WordPress Origin Story

We’ve been hosting WordPress sites since the dawn of WordPress and building sites with WordPress since 2008. Now we’re one of the top 5 WordPress hosting providers in Canada.
