Web hosting
Simafri web hosting runs your WordPress sites, your PHP and Node.js applications and your mailboxes on Intel Xeon servers equipped with NVMe SSDs. An SSL certificate, automatic backups and a free domain name for the first year come with every plan, and our team helps you go live.
Pricing
Every plan runs the same technologies, with unlimited disk space and bandwidth for your website. What changes from one plan to the next is the power of the account and how many websites, databases and email accounts it holds.
A brochure site, a blog or a first project.

Several websites, an online store or an application in production.
CA$8.49 / month

Prices exclude tax, billed yearly. The free first-year domain name then renews at its extension's rate, shown on our domain names page. Would you rather we build and run your website for you? Discover Serenity by Simafri.
What you can run
Web hosting goes well beyond WordPress: it runs most web applications written in PHP or JavaScript.
Pick the PHP version of each website in your control panel, with the latest one as the default. OPcache is on, and the usual extensions are there: intl, mbstring, gd, curl, zip, sodium, bcmath.
Create your MySQL databases (MariaDB 10.11) in a few clicks and manage them in phpMyAdmin, or from the command line through your SSH access.
Log in over SSH with your key, clone your Git repository, install your dependencies with Composer 2 or npm, and schedule your tasks with cron.
An Express API, a NestJS application or a Next.js app in server mode is set up from the control panel, each on its own domain or subdomain, with the Node.js version you prefer.
PHP frameworks run with their usual commands over SSH: migrations, cache, scheduled tasks. Learn more on our Laravel hosting page.
WordPress, PrestaShop, Joomla and Drupal install on your hosting account, and our team will set up the application you want for you.

Security and reliability
Server-class Intel Xeon processors, ECC memory that fixes errors as they happen, and datacenter-grade NVMe SSDs set up as a mirror.
A web application firewall, DDoS protection, antivirus and spam filtering watch over every account.
Your files, databases and email are backed up automatically to a geographically separate site.
Every domain and every subdomain gets its own SSL certificate, renewed automatically, with nothing for you to configure.
Create your mailboxes in the control panel and read them in webmail, in Outlook or on your phone. For a complete team email setup, see our professional email address page.
From the Pro plan up, our technicians walk you through every step of going live: uploading files, the database, configuration, right up to your website being online.
Going live
Tell us your project's domain name: we register a new domain, free for the first year, or connect the one you already own.
Your account is created on the server, and your control panel credentials arrive by email.
Send your files over FTP, SFTP or Git, import your database in phpMyAdmin, or let our team migrate your website from your current host.
The SSL certificate is in place, your mailboxes are created, and your website answers at its address over HTTPS.
Web hosting is space on a server that stays connected to the internet around the clock, where your website's files, its databases and your mailboxes live. On shared hosting like ours, several accounts share one powerful machine, each with its own reserved resources: you get a high-end server without having to manage it.
Web hosting suits the vast majority of websites and PHP or Node.js applications. A project that needs PostgreSQL, a program that runs continuously (a worker, a message queue, WebSockets) or a server entirely its own, with root access, belongs on a VPS Pro. For a specific application, our Node.js hosting, Next.js hosting and Django hosting pages point you in the right direction.
Every plan billed yearly includes a .com domain name for the first year, and every hosted domain gets its SSL certificate. Your visitors reach your website over HTTPS from the moment it goes live.
