Managed Website Hosting & Maintenance in Sudbury
Secure managed hosting, real backups, uptime monitoring, and ongoing maintenance in one predictable monthly plan. Built for Sudbury and Northern Ontario businesses that need their website to just work.
Serving Greater Sudbury, Northern Ontario, and surrounding communities. Remote support available throughout Ontario.
Website hosting is a boring problem right up until it is a catastrophic one. Cheap shared hosting fails silently, gets exploited, or goes down during your busiest week. Managed hosting bundles the hosting itself with the security, backup, and maintenance discipline that actually keeps a business site alive.
This page is part of our broader Website Design Sudbury cluster. Hosting works best when it is aligned with the site design, SEO, and speed strategy — that is what a bundled approach delivers.
What managed hosting actually includes
You are not just paying for a server slot. You are paying for the operational discipline that keeps the site online and secure.
- Secure hosting on modern infrastructure with HTTPS by default
- Off-site, versioned backups with periodic tested restores
- Uptime monitoring with real alerting
- SSL certificate management and renewal — never expires unnoticed
- DNS oversight and change support
- Malware scanning and file-integrity monitoring
- WordPress core and plugin patching on a controlled schedule
- CDN and basic DDoS protection
- Bundled content update hours each month
- Monthly report showing exactly what happened
Why we do not upsell you a $5 host
Bargain-basement hosting works fine until it does not. When a Sudbury business is losing leads because the site is down for the third time this year, we are the ones who get the phone call. Managed hosting is priced to include the backup, security, monitoring, and support work that prevents most of those calls in the first place.
Bundled with IT under one accountable partner
Because Nickel City Tech Solutions also handles Managed IT, Microsoft 365, cybersecurity, business Wi-Fi, and Backup & Disaster Recovery, hosting sits inside a coherent technology strategy. Your website, your domain, your email, your DNS, your backup, and your workstations are all managed by one team that talks to itself.

Frequently asked questions
What is included in managed hosting?
Secure hosting with HTTPS, uptime monitoring, off-site backups, malware scanning, DDoS protection, CDN, WordPress core and plugin patching, SSL certificate management, and DNS oversight. We also handle content updates and small design tweaks based on the plan level.
Why not just use cheap shared hosting?
Cheap shared hosting is often the reason sites are slow, get hacked, or go down without warning. You save $10 a month and lose $2000 in a single incident. Managed hosting bundles the pieces that actually keep a business site alive — real backups, real security, real support.
Can you move my existing website?
Yes. Migrations are usually seamless with zero downtime — we clone, test, cut DNS over, and monitor. We handle WordPress, static sites, and most hosted platforms.
Do you back up the site?
Yes. Off-site, versioned backups with periodic restore tests. Not just "the host keeps snapshots" — real independent backups you can actually restore from.
What happens if the site goes down?
Uptime monitoring alerts us and we begin triage immediately. For managed clients this is included; serious outages follow our Emergency IT Support workflow. You get real communication, not a support ticket that sits for two days.
Can this be bundled with Managed IT?
Yes. Many clients bundle Website Hosting & Maintenance with Managed IT, Microsoft 365, and Backup & Disaster Recovery for one accountable local partner across everything technology-related.
