Design, copy, images, a .ca domain, hosting, SSL, business email and monthly updates all come in the same monthly plan, priced in Canadian dollars. The price you see is the price you pay, and it does not jump at renewal.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a monthly fee for having a website?

With us, yes, and it replaces the large upfront fee. Plans start at $19.99 a month for a website of up to 5 pages, $29.99 for up to 10 pages or a redesign of your current site, and $49.99 for an online store, with design, hosting, a .ca domain, SSL and email included. Your first payment comes after you've seen the finished website. Your domain, content and email are yours, and there's no contract: if you ever leave, we give you a full copy of your site.

How much should I pay to have a website built?

Nothing upfront. There's no deposit and no setup fee: we build the whole website first and you pay when you've seen it finished and you like it. If you're not happy, you don't pay anything. We take the risk.

Is .ca or .com better in Canada?

For a business that serves Canadian customers, .ca tells visitors and Google you're Canadian; .com works well if you also sell abroad. On the Starter, Business and Ecommerce plans we register either one for you, and it's yours from day one. A .ca domain requires a connection to Canada under CIRA's Canadian Presence Requirements; if that doesn't apply to you, we register your .com instead. Every plan also includes mailboxes on your domain, from 5 on Basic to unlimited on Ecommerce.

How much does web hosting cost in Canada?

With Astra Hosting, from $9.99 a month on the Basic plan, and hosting is included in every plan: 5 to 40 GB of storage, a free SSL certificate, daily backups and business email at no extra cost. If you already have a website and only need hosting, the Basic plan covers that too.

Are prices in Canadian dollars?

Yes. Every price on this site is in Canadian dollars (CAD) and it's the final monthly price: nothing is added at checkout. Payment is by PayPal, there's no contract, and you can cancel anytime.

What are the monthly website maintenance costs?

They're included. Every plan comes with a simple dashboard to change text, photos, prices and opening hours without any coding, plus a step-by-step guide. If you'd rather not touch it, the monthly updates in your plan cover those changes: just email us and we'll do them for you.

What type of website do I need for business?

It depends on what you sell and how big you are. We work with small businesses and start-ups, from the self-employed to established firms with several staff: stores, cafés, contractors, clinics, law firms and architects. Starter covers a first professional website of up to 5 pages; Business and Ecommerce add more pages, storage and an online store as you grow.

What is the cheapest way to own a website?

Our Basic plan, at $9.99 a month: a landing page built for you, or hosting for the website you already have, with 5 GB of storage, 5 business email accounts, an SSL certificate and daily backups. No setup fee and no contract.

How much does it cost to build an online store?

$49.99 a month on the Ecommerce plan, with a cart, a product dashboard and payments through Stripe, PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay, with no extra cost for the integration. We upload your first 30 products with their descriptions, and you can add the rest yourself from the dashboard.
