For over a decade, Compudata has been providing web hosting services to small and medium businesses in Canada. Since that time, Compudata’s core business model has evolved, and so has the web hosting landscape as well. As a result of Compudata’s evolution a decision had been made to focus our resources on our managed IT solutions. Please read the following FAQ and contact us directly with any questions.
Let us know if you are interested in learning more about Compudata’s Managed IT Services and how we can support your website under a service agreement.
Compudata will be discontinuing Shared Web Hosting service on March 31st, 2019.
Compudata clients using our shared hosting offering will need to migrate to a new service or alternative shared service provider. Compudata is recommending Canadian web hosts who we will work with in order to help our clients migrate their hosting with little to no increase in cost or disruption of service.
Compudata will refund the pro-rated difference of your unused hosting for customers on yearly terms. This refund will be calculated and issued after you have successfully migrated to a new service or service provider, or by March 31st, 2019.
Compudata understands our clients have chosen our service for various reasons. Our criteria for selecting the options in our list of suggestions was as follows:
If you agree with our criteria, Compudata suggests one of the three following shared web hosting providers as a possible new home for your website:
There is no requirement to use our recommendations. You are free to choose any new home for your website project; however, we can’t guarantee the host you choose will be compatible with our own shared web hosting technologies. Compudata will support our recommended providers with your migration if it is required.
All our recommendations are priced competitively in the Canadian market, and their plans are straight forward and are available for review at their respective websites. Most customers shouldn’t need to spend more than they are spending today.
Compudata will continue to offer domain names, DNS hosting, and certificates indefinitely. There is no need to move your domains if you do not wish to, and you can continue to purchase high-trust certificates through Compudata.
Website migrations take relatively little time. Because Compudata and our recommended shared web hosting providers utilize the same essential server technologies, we expect the migrations will be simple and straight forward.
Every effort will be made to ensure downtime if any, is as minimal as possible. Most sites will transition without anyone realizing that the hosting has changed.
