Site Builder

Our multilingual site builder lets you create your web site quickly and easily. Choose from over 900 professional templates and over 4000 designs specifically created for hundreds of different businesses and topics. Pick the one you like best (or create your own!), customize it, then add your own content, images, and links. The 7-step process can be completed in as little as 10 minutes, with no technical knowledge required!

Web Pages & Visitors

Profit fully from your website's success! Wirecities Web Hosting does not limit the total number of monthly visitors your site receives. In addition, our sophisticated resource management system ensures that no single site disrupts the performance of our servers and networks -- even during peak usage periods -- allowing your site to be online at all times.

* While we do not limit the number of visitors your web site receives, your account may not surpass its disk and bandwidth allocation, nor can it use too many of the available shared system resources in such a way as to negatively impact our other users, as described in our Acceptable Use Policy.

RAID Disk Space

Say goodbye to lost files due to disk failures! Your files and emails are stored on our high-capacity RAID storage array, giving you optimal speed and data redundancy.

The more disk space you have, the more photos, videos, and content you'll be able to publish on your web site.

1 Gigabyte (GB) = 1024 Megabytes (MB). Not sure how much disk space you'll be needing? Press the live support button and we'll help you figure it out!

High Speed Monthly Transfer

Enjoy blazing-fast connections to our servers, for both downloads and uploads. The more monthly transfer you have, the more traffic (or data) your visitors will be able to download from and upload to your site, and the more multi-media content (videos, music, and high resolution photos) you'll be able to share with your visitors. Not sure how much monthly transfer you'll be needing? Press the live sales support button at the top of the page and we'll gladly help you figure it out!

Domain Name

Your domain name is your online identity, and can take several forms, such as mycompany.com, myname.ca, etc. You'll be able to choose from a variety of different domain types when you place your order online. Best of all, your domain name is free with the purchase of an Advanced or Professional hosting package when prepaid for 12 months or more!

*Free domain offer applies only to certain types, such as .com, .ca, .net, .org, .biz, etc. Regular yearly registration fees apply to other domain types, starting at 9.99$ for the first year.

Multi-site Hosting

With multi-site (or "add-on") hosting, you'll be able to host several different web sites on the same account, each with their own domain name!

Self-signed SSL

Encrypt data transferred on your site with your own self-signed certificate.

Dedicated IP

An IP address is a set of numbers like 207.55.16.127 that identifies your web site's server. On a shared hosting package, one IP address is often shared by hundreds of web sites without any problems. With a dedicated IP address, you reserve an address that uniquely identifies only your site. This is required for the installation of an SSL certificate or an anonymous FTP server. A dedicated IP address is available for free upon request with the Enterprise package. It is otherwise available as an optional upgrade at a discounted price of 29.95$ per year.

Dedicated SSL

With a dedicated SSL certificate, data transferred between your site and your visitors are encrypted and digitally signed, ensuring that they originate from their expected source without having being modified. When browsing a secure site, visitors will see a security lock in their browser, confirming that the site is safe. SSL certificates are required for sites that process credit cards (or similar sensitive information) online. SSL certificates also require a dedicated IP address. SSL certificates start at a discounted price of 49.95$ per year if you already have an IP, or 79.95$ for the bundled SSL + IP package.

Brute-Force protection

With Brute Force protection, your account will automatically get locked if invalid login attempts are tried more than a certain number of times, effectively preventing malicious users from discovering your password by attempting different combinations. Still, you should always keep security in mind when choosing a password. Make sure it's complex enough so that others may not guess it. By default, we start you off with complex & secure passwords that will be very difficult (if not nearly impossible!) to guess.

Full access logs

You can view and save complete logs of accesses to your web site.

24/7 Server monitoring

Sleep soundly knowing that our servers are monitored day and night by technicians who are ready to intervene if ever an issue were to arise. And yes, this even includes 11:59PM on New Year's eve. It's all part of our Site Uptime Guarantee.

Daily Backups

With our Advanced and Professional hosting plans, your data is automatically backed up on a weekly basis (each Sunday), allowing you to revert to a working, earlier version of your site. There is a $15 dollar charge for any backup that is not from a backup file you provide. If you provide a backup file, it is free of charge.

Need to restore an account backup? Get up to 1 free rollback every month (additional rollbacks available at 25$ per restore) with our Advanced (or Professional) hosting packages.

RAID Storage w/ Fail-over

Ever experienced a hard drive failure? Let's hope not! Hardware failures can spell disaster, causing total and irreversible data loss in worst-case scenarios. All our storage uses fully redundant RAID technology, meaning that if one of our hard drives fail, a secondary drive will take over and continue serving your data until our technician can replace the faulty unit (and should both drives fail simultaneously, your data is still safe in our backups, stored on separate physical drives)

Separate Backup Storage

We store all your backups on a separate physical hard-drive, ensuring your data remains safe in the event of a catastrophic hard drive & RAID failure.
