Simpl Hosting

Simpl. Hosting is the only managed WordPress hosting company that was designed by local business owners for local business owners.

At Simpl. Hosting, we have been offering expert WordPress hosting and managed support for Canadian and US businesses for nearly ten years, but what’s more important is why.

In 2015, after years of developing and launching hundreds of websites, we became tired of spending big money on hosting providers who couldn’t provide the level of service or support that their sales reps were promising. So, we went to the drawing board to develop a new type of managed hosting service that focused on giving business owners the tools they needed to succeed, without charging extra for basic tools and services.

Why consider Simpl. as your hosting partner? While most other companies just sell hosting space, Simpl. provides FULLY MANAGED website support which means that in addition to providing blazing-fast website hosting, we take on the heavy lifting of daily site management, system updates, enterprise-level security monitoring, and even content management support so that you can be confident your site is running smoothly 24/7/365. That means never spending your valuable time making website updates or security fixes again.
