📄 Editorial Review

WereDigital Hosting Inc. is a Canadian web hosting, domain-management and website-development company based in Regina, Saskatchewan. The corporation was registered on May 2, 2014, while the technical background of managing partner Greg Makuch reaches back to 1995 and includes web development, hosting administration, DNS management and internet services.

The company concentrates on Canadian shared hosting and practical website-management services for individuals, nonprofit organizations, small businesses, developers and web agencies. Its portfolio includes Linux shared hosting, reseller hosting, managed website maintenance, domain registration, domain transfers, DNS administration, business email, SSL certificates, malware protection, spam filtering, website migration, custom web development, e-commerce development and search-engine optimization.

WereDigital’s primary infrastructure products are cPanel shared hosting and white-label reseller hosting. Customers requiring assistance beyond the hosting environment can add managed maintenance, development and security services. This combination is particularly suitable for website owners who prefer to obtain hosting, domains, email and ongoing technical work from the same Canadian provider.

The shared-hosting range consists of Identity, Basic and Business. Identity is designed for a personal page, small presentation website, landing page or starter project. It includes 250 MB of storage, 1 GB of monthly transfer, one hosted domain, one database, one FTP account and one email account.

Basic hosting increases the available storage to 25 GB and supports as many as ten websites. Email accounts, databases, FTP accounts, subdomains and parked domains are available without fixed numerical limits, although all activity remains subject to the resources assigned to the hosting account.

Business hosting starts with 50 GB of storage and supports a larger collection of websites, databases and mailboxes. Monthly transfer reaches as much as 2,000 GB, making the package more suitable for established company websites, content-management systems and customers managing several domains.

Annual shared-hosting subscriptions include the first registration year of an eligible domain extension. Common choices include `.ca`, `.com`, `.net`, `.org` and `.us`. Accounts also include daily backups, webmail, POP3 and IMAP access, spam and virus filtering, DNS administration, MySQL databases, PHP, Perl, Python, cron jobs, FTP access, website statistics and SSH access on suitable packages.

Resources described as unlimited remain governed by a normal personal and small-business usage policy. Shared accounts are intended for websites, databases and email rather than general file storage, large software archives or multimedia distribution. Excessive processor, memory, disk or network consumption can result in resource restrictions to protect the performance of the server.

Reseller Hosting is available through five packages with storage capacities ranging from 50 GB to 300 GB and monthly transfer allowances from 500 GB to 3,000 GB. The reseller environment includes WHM, cPanel, private nameservers, customer-account creation, email hosting, databases, SSL support, firewall protection, a dedicated IP address and one-click application installation.

These white-label reseller packages are practical for web designers, freelance developers and small agencies that host multiple customer websites. Resellers can create individual cPanel accounts and allocate storage, bandwidth and other resources without maintaining their own server hardware.

The Managed Hosting service includes one hour of website-administration work each month. The available work covers content and image updates, WordPress or Joomla maintenance, plugin installation, SSL configuration, website migration, database imports and exports, MySQL optimization, backup administration and basic debugging.

Domain services include registration, transfers, renewals, DNS administration and optional registration privacy. A transferred domain retains its existing registration period and normally receives an additional year. Contact privacy is available for compatible extensions at an extra annual cost.

Additional services include commercial SSL certificates, enhanced email quarantine, malware scanning and website-security maintenance. The development service covers business websites, online directories, membership systems, e-commerce stores, event calendars, registration systems, responsive layouts, search optimization and social-media integration.

The main website retains an older, narrow desktop-oriented layout and is less comfortable on modern mobile devices than newer hosting storefronts. Some package specifications also differ between sections, especially bandwidth limits, long-term prices and the refund period. Customers should therefore confirm the exact configuration and renewal amount displayed during checkout before purchasing a long subscription.

The customer portal supports Canadian dollars, US dollars and euros. Its interface is available in Arabic, Azerbaijani, Catalan, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Persian, French, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Macedonian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish and Ukrainian.
