WordPress is a free, open-sourced Content Management System (CMS), and is the #1 website hosting platform in the world. Approximately 30% of all websites on the internet are built using WordPress.
Webnames Managed WordPress hosting is a specialized type of hosting that incorporates additional features, customizations, and proactive updates to enhance the performance, optimization and security of WordPress websites.
Webnames has been providing hosting for WordPress websites for more than 15 years. Our systems have been continually refined and updated to provide the best possible environment for WordPress. Our staff are well versed on WordPress and can assist with issues if they come up. For larger tasks and projects, we offer in-house WordPress Support Plans. Get everything you need for your website all from one place!
The one-click installation of apps and features means that the setup process of these app has been simplified and automated down to as few steps as possible, and can be done from a single place within your account.
Location location location. If your primary audience is within Canada, then it makes sense to host your website in Canada as well. Doing so has website speed benefits, since the data transmission between your website and visitors has fewer networks to traverse than if your website were to be hosted in a different country than your visitors. For customers who have concerns about the privacy of their data, data hosted in Canada are subject to the data privacy laws of Canada, whereas when websites are hosted in other countries, then the related data is subject to the laws of the country where the hosting is provided.
No, Webnames hosting plans may be used with domain names currently registered at another domain registrar. If you transfer your domain to Webnames, however, it will renew free of charge for the duration of your hosting plan provided your term is 6-months or longer.
Websites built with BoldGrid and powered by WordPress have several benefits over other website builders such as Wix, Weebly and Squarespace. Wix, Weebly, Squarespace and many other website platforms are proprietary property of their respective companies. Websites built using these platforms are not compatible with any other website hosting, and therefore must always be hosted by the respective company. Regardless of future pricing, performance or preference, these websites cannot be moved to any other hosting provider. WordPress, on the other hand, is a free and open-source platform.
Websites built using Wordpress can be freely moved between any hosting provider. Additionally, WordPress is constantly evolving with new editions and features. Websites built using WordPress can take advantage of all current features and future improvements for free, forever. Wix, Weebly and Squarespace are commercial, closed and proprietary platforms. WordPress is free, extensible, and future-proof — forever.
The BoldGrid included with Webnames WordPress hosting plans is the premium version and includes a BoldGrid Premium Connect Key. This means all BoldGrid features will be enabled without limitation. Webnames customers can receive customer support directly from our in-house team, in addition to the team that created BoldGrid.
The free, non-hosted version BoldGrid does not include certain premium features or customer support. Websites built using the free version will also contain BoldGrid branding and links back to the BoldGrid website.
Green hosting is a website hosting service that makes efforts to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) to be more sustainable and have a lower environmental impact. There are several ways of achieving greener hosting and offsetting carbon, including utilizing data centres that are powered by renewable energy, offsetting carbon through renewable energy credits or actions such as planting trees.
Webnames data centres are not powered by carbon-emitting energy sources such as gas or coal. Like many industries in Canada, our services are powered by renewable hydroelectricity generated within British Columbia. Making use of technologies such as Solid State Drives (SSD) and closed glycol loop chilled water for datacentre cooling instead of air conditioning systems which require significant power further reduces climate impact.
* All web hosting plans with terms of 6 months and longer include a free domain. Valid extensions are .CA, .COM, .ORG, .NET, .CLICK, .LINK, .WORK, .PICTURES, .NAME, .ONE, and .US. Your domain will renew free of charge for the duration of your hosting plan. The free domain renewal cannot be transferred and applied to other domain names.
** Unlimited storage, bandwidth and databases subject to our Web Hosting Terms of Use.
*** The 30 day money back guarantee applies to only to the first 30 days of a plan's.
