Web hosting / A home for your website
Web hosting that fits the way you build
Web hosting provides the server environment that publishes your website. The right choice depends on the application you run, the people maintaining it, and the traffic it must handle. Explore Mixal’s hosting services with a clear plan for content, email, security, and growth.

Start with the essentials
Make the right choice for your project
Match your application
Start with the CMS, runtime, database, and scheduled jobs your site needs. A familiar product label is not a compatibility check.
Choose your workload
A brochure site, busy shop, and custom API have different resource and support needs. Compare them by how they behave under load.
Make maintenance manageable
Decide who updates the application, tests backups, responds to alerts, and handles changes before the site goes live.
Shared hosting, managed hosting, or a VPS?
Shared hosting can suit sites that work within a provider’s standard software environment. A VPS offers an operating-system environment with more administrative control and responsibility. Managed hosting describes a support arrangement; check which server and application tasks it actually includes.
Size for the work the site performs
Monthly visits alone do not tell you how much capacity a site needs. Cached pages can be inexpensive to serve, while searches, checkout sessions, imports, and background jobs need more computation. Test representative actions and monitor response time, memory use, and database activity before increasing resources.
Plan a launch without losing email or content
Copy the site and database to a staging environment, test forms and purchase flows, and identify where email is hosted. Coordinate the final content sync with DNS changes. Retain a tested rollback path and verify the site from outside your own network.

Verify DNS, HTTPS, email, forms, backups, and key user journeys before moving visitors.
Useful answers
Before you get started
Do I need a VPS for a small website?
Not automatically. Standard hosting may be enough if the application fits its limits. Choose a VPS when system control or measured resource needs justify it.
Does Canadian hosting guarantee a faster site?
Location can affect network latency, but application code, caching, assets, and routing also matter. Test from the places your visitors use.
Does hosting replace website maintenance?
No. Unless explicitly included, application updates, content changes, and recovery testing remain separate responsibilities.
