Burnaby small business · $5/month hosting

Burnaby’s hidden gem: quality hosting for just $5 CAD/month

Most Burnaby SMB websites run on hosting plans they signed up for years ago and never reviewed. You don’t need an enterprise plan to run a fast, secure Burnaby small-business website — you need flat $5 CAD/month hosting with the right defaults turned on.

  • $5CAD/month, flat
  • 5 GBNVMe storage
  • 50 GBBandwidth/month
  • 30 daysBackup retention

Why Burnaby SMBs are a great fit for the Starter plan

  • Most Burnaby small-business sites are 5–25 pages: home, services, about, contact, a handful of blog posts.
  • Traffic is local: a few hundred to a few thousand monthly visits, mostly from Metro Vancouver.
  • Email lives elsewhere (Google Workspace or Microsoft 365) — so you don’t need bundled email.
  • Plugins are typically Yoast SEO, Contact Form 7, a backup plugin, and a caching plugin. That’s it.

Frequently asked questions

Is $5/month hosting actually enough for a real business site?

For a brochure or marketing site that gets up to a few thousand visits per month, yes — provided the plan includes NVMe storage, a CDN, free SSL, and daily backups. You only outgrow it when traffic spikes regularly or you start running checkout, members or heavy queries.

What does “managed” hosting include?

Daily off-site backups, free SSL renewed automatically, a CDN with WAF in front of your site, uptime monitoring, and a real human you can email when something breaks. Server-level updates and security patches are also handled for you.

Will I be locked into a long contract?

No. Metro Vancouver IT plans are month-to-month with optional yearly billing for a small discount. You can move up or down a plan anytime; we migrate you for free if you arrive from a different host.

Do you support WordPress, Drupal, Magento and custom apps?

Yes. We host WordPress (Starter/Standard/Pro plans), Adobe Commerce / Magento (tuned VPS), and custom Laravel / Node / PHP apps on managed VPS. We also offer dedicated WordPress care plans for sites that have a host already.

Want $5 CAD/mo Burnaby hosting set up this week?

We will migrate your current site for free, no downtime, and email you confirmation when it’s live.
