Website hosting plans can come in many shapes and sizes, but here at ArcticWeb we like to keep things simple. We take care of the technical side of things, leaving you with the time you need to focus on your customers.
Since 1999 ArcticWeb Solutions has been offering the best of the web. We are committed to bringing you the highest quality at the the lowest possible prices.
Every website has to have an address on the internet. At ArcticWeb we offer a free subdomain (yourname.arcticweb.ca) with every hosting plan, so you don't have to register your own domain. If you would like to register a domain name of your own then please use the form below:
If you have an existing website and need to know if it will be compatible with our servers, please take a look through our server specifications below.
At ArcticWeb we realize how important speed and reliability is to your business. With our completely redundant network and server setup we can guarantee 99.9% uptime for your website! If you are wondering how we do it, please read about our network and facilities.
