Managed Hosting and IT Operations in Quebec

A fast website today can become slow, vulnerable or unavailable tomorrow if nobody watches the infrastructure behind it.

PWM hosts and operates your websites, online stores and applications: servers configured for your needs, monitoring, verified backups and scheduled updates.

Hand the infrastructure to specialists so your team can focus on its own business.

What our managed hosting service covers

Hosting matched to your application

Servers sized for Magento, WordPress or your business application, in the cloud or on dedicated infrastructure depending on your needs.

Monitoring and alerts

We track availability, response times and resource usage so we can step in before your customers notice a problem.

Backups with tested restores

Regular copies and restore drills, because a backup that has never been tested is only a hypothesis.

Updates and patches

Operating system, web server, database and platform are updated on a schedule and validated before going live.

Performance tuning

Caching, content delivery network, database tuning and bottleneck analysis for fast pages, even at peak traffic.

Technical support

A team that knows your environment and answers your requests without starting from scratch on every call.

Move to the cloud without interrupting sales

Leaving shared hosting for sturdier infrastructure, or migrating to a cloud provider such as AWS or Azure, takes preparation. We plan the cutover, test it on a parallel environment and carry it out at the time that disrupts your business the least.

Your data can be hosted in Canada, which simplifies compliance with Quebec’s Law 25.

Audit of your current hosting
Test environment identical to production

Redirects and search rankings preserved

Why entrust your infrastructure to PWM

One team

The team that builds your site also knows its environment: fewer handoffs between developer and host.

Clear billing

Included services and their cost are agreed with you up front, based on your needs and traffic level.

Data in Canada

Hosting in Canadian data centres is available to meet your confidentiality requirements.

Frequently asked questions about hosting and IT operations

What is the difference between hosting and managed IT operations?

Hosting provides the servers. Managed operations add the day-to-day work: monitoring, updates, backups, security and support. You delegate the running of the environment, not just the rental of the machine.

Do you host sites you did not build?

Yes, after a short audit of the existing setup to confirm the environment is compatible and secure. We can then take over hosting and maintenance.

What happens if my site goes down?

Monitoring detects the outage, the team steps in and restores service, and a follow-up report explains the cause and the steps to prevent a repeat.

My Magento store is slow: can hosting help?

Often, yes. Server configuration, caching and the database strongly affect load times. A diagnosis separates what comes from the infrastructure from what comes from the code. See also our DevOps approach.
