*📜 Plan description

Starter is part of the managed WordPress hosting lineup. Starter includes 1 WordPress website, 20 GB storage, a fully managed environment and automatic WordPress updates.

The WordPress range is designed as a managed WordPress environment where Funio handles updates, monitoring, backups and security hardening so the customer can focus on the site itself. The platform includes automatic WordPress updates except on the VPS option, free backups, 24/7 support, CloudLinux and ModSecurity security layers, hardened technology, access to WordPress themes and plugins, quick launch after choosing a domain name, and Let's Encrypt SSL availability. It is a good fit for portfolios, blogs, landing pages, small business sites and online stores that need WordPress without unmanaged server work. Promotional prices apply to the first month and the regular monthly rate is listed as the renewal reference.

📄 Editorial Review

Funio is a Canadian web hosting provider based in Verdun, Quebec, with roots going back to 1999. The company serves small businesses, developers, agencies, resellers, and WordPress users that want a Canadian hosting footprint, English/French/Spanish support, and familiar hosting tools rather than an unmanaged server-only environment. Funio now operates as a brand under Miss Group (missgroup.com), while keeping its Canadian identity and a product range built around shared hosting, managed VPS, reseller hosting, domains, email, SSL, and web security services.

The product catalog is broad for the SMB hosting market. Their main services include Shared Hosting, WordPress Hosting, eCommerce Hosting, Fully Managed VPS, Reseller Hosting, VPS Reseller plans, Domain Registration, OX App Suite email hosting, SSL Certificates, Spam Protection, VPN, Monarx Secure Web, Cakemail email marketing, and MarketGoo SEO. Dedicated servers are not a visible Funio product line today, so customers needing bare-metal infrastructure should compare other infrastructure-focused providers.

Shared hosting is built around cPanel, daily backups, Let’s Encrypt SSL, one-click software installation, PHP, Ruby, Python, MariaDB/MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Funio’s centralized customer management system. The shared plans scale from a small single-site package to larger unlimited-style plans with stronger CPU/RAM allocation, SSL, and email marketing features.

WordPress hosting is a more managed option, with automatic updates, backups, WordPress-focused security, CloudLinux isolation, ModSecurity, and hardened hosting controls. eCommerce hosting is tailored for platforms such as Magento, PrestaShop, OpenCart, and osCommerce, with SSL, backups, cPanel, and higher resource allocations.

Funio’s VPS line is fully managed and Linux-based. It uses Virtuozzo, includes cPanel/WHM, dedicated IP, unmetered traffic, backups, monitoring, system updates, security hardening, and scalable CPU/RAM/storage management through Funio Hub. Windows VPS is not part of the current VPS offer.

Their reseller hosting is one of the stronger parts of the portfolio. Standard reseller plans use cPanel/WHM, while VPS reseller plans add dedicated managed resources, control-panel management, daily backups, migration assistance, and more isolation for agencies or hosting resellers managing multiple customer accounts.

Funio also has an important domain business. They are a .CA certified registrar, support large domain portfolios with volume discounts, and include DNS management, domain locking, forwarding, and optional domain privacy protection.
