Hosting options
Which Type of Hosting Do You Need?
Not sure which plan fits? We’ll recommend one based on your site’s traffic, software and growth plans.
| Best for | Why choose it | |
|---|---|---|
| Shared hosting | Small business websites and blogs | Affordable and simple to run |
| WordPress hosting | Business websites built on WordPress | Set up and maintained for WordPress |
| VPS hosting | Growing sites that need more power | More resources and control |
| Cloud hosting | Sites that need to scale | Resources can grow with traffic |
| Dedicated server | High-traffic or specialised sites | A whole server for your site |
Hosting plans can be upgraded as your business grows, from shared hosting to VPS, cloud or dedicated.
Why it matters
Your Domain and DNS Run More Than Your Website
The same domain and DNS records control your website, your business email and often your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. One wrong record and email stops arriving, or quotes start landing in spam.
Because we’re an IT company, we manage domains, DNS, hosting and email together and keep them documented, so changes don’t break something else.
We keep track of
- Domain renewals and who owns the account
- DNS records for website, email and Microsoft 365
- SSL certificates
- Email authentication: SPF, DKIM and DMARC
- Hosting backups and updates
- Admin logins, stored securely
The AlphaIT difference
Websites Built by an IT Company
Many web designers stop at the design. We also run hosting, security, email and IT support, so the website keeps working after launch.
Fast and secure by default
Hosting, SSL, updates and security handled by the same team that builds the site.
Email that reaches the inbox
Business email and SPF, DKIM and DMARC set up properly, so contact-form and quote emails don't land in spam.
Built for search
Clean structure, page speed and on-page SEO from day one, so the site is ready to rank.
One team after launch
Website, hosting, email and IT support under one roof, with no finger-pointing between vendors.
Cost
How Much Does Hosting Cost?
It depends on the type of hosting, your site’s size and traffic, and how many domains and mailboxes you need. We recommend the right plan and send a written quote after a free consultation.
What sets the price
- Type of hosting: shared, WordPress, VPS, cloud or dedicated
- Number of websites and domains
- Storage and traffic needs
- Number of business email mailboxes
- Website migration from another host
- Ongoing updates and maintenance
Switching hosts
Moving Your Website Without Losing Email or Rankings
Most hosting moves go wrong for one reason: the domain runs more than the website, and an email or Microsoft 365 record gets missed. This is how we move a site to new web hosting:
- List what the domain runs. Website, email, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace records and any other services.
- Copy and test first. Your website files and database go to the new hosting and get tested there before anyone sees them.
- Switch at a quiet time. DNS is updated, and the old hosting stays active until the new site and email are confirmed working.
- Check everything after. Pages, contact forms, SSL and email are tested once the change has spread.
Your page addresses stay the same, so the search rankings your site has earned carry over.

Frequently asked questions
Domain & Hosting FAQs
Straight answers about domains, hosting, email and moving providers.
Do I automatically get email when I register a domain?
Not always. Some registrars include email and many charge extra. We provide business email hosting alongside domain registration so everything is set up together.
Can you move my website from another hosting provider?
Yes. We move your website files, databases and email, set up the new hosting and handle the DNS changes.
What type of hosting do you offer?
Shared, WordPress, VPS, cloud and dedicated hosting. We’ll recommend the right one for your site.
Do you offer domain privacy?
Yes. WHOIS privacy protection hides your personal and business contact details from public domain records.
Can I upgrade my hosting plan later?
Yes. You can move up from shared hosting to VPS, cloud or dedicated hosting as your traffic grows.
What security is included?
Free SSL certificates plus firewall and malware protection. We also keep regular website backups.
Do you manage .ca domains?
Yes. We register and manage .ca, .com, .net, .org and other domain extensions.
Will my email still work if I move my website?
Yes, when DNS is handled carefully. We check email records before and after any move so mail keeps flowing.
Is web hosting the same as website hosting?
Yes. Both mean renting space on a server so your website is online around the clock. Business hosting usually also covers SSL, backups and email for your domain.
Do you look after WordPress sites after they go live?
Yes. Our website maintenance covers updates, security patches, backups and content changes.
Who should own my domain?
Your business, always, with the login in your name. If a past web designer registered it and you are not sure who controls it, we can check and help you move it to an account you own.
Can you design the website too?
Yes. See our web design in Edmonton page. Having one team for design, hosting and email means nothing falls between vendors.
