Secure WordPress web hosting for Quebec SMBs
A fully Canadian WordPress hosting infrastructure, built to stay fast, secure and Law 25 compliant. For SMBs that want to keep control of their data.
Your data stays in Canada
We made a clear choice: Canadian servers, Canadian partners, native Law 25 compliance. The same logic guides our internal tools — for example, we use Proton for password management, because consistency on data sovereignty matters as much internally as it does for our clients.
For a Quebec SMB, this changes concrete things: a familiar jurisdiction, low latency, communication in French, and Law 25 compliance achieved without legal contortions or transferring data abroad.
A bonus that's more than a bonus: servers in Quebec run on hydroelectricity, one of the lowest-carbon sources of electricity in the world. Your site emits hundreds of times less there than on a coal- or gas-powered grid — our eco-responsible approach in detail.
What the Elefen infrastructure includes
Four components, available together or separately.
Optimized WordPress hosting
Canadian servers, an environment prepared for WordPress (optimized PHP, server-side caching, tuned MySQL database). Performance, security and backups built in. Is your current site hosted elsewhere? Our migration tool transfers it without any loss.
Professional email
Email accounts on your own domain name, SPF, DKIM and DMARC configuration for deliverability, and technical support if an incident occurs.
Domain name
Purchase, transfer, renewal and DNS management. You remain the owner of your domain — we never lock it under our name.
Infrastructure technical support
Access to our team for infrastructure-related technical questions: DNS, SSL certificates, email configuration, server performance.
Server security and Law 25 compliance
Infrastructure-side security is your site's first line of defence. We treat it as an ongoing service, not a box to check at setup.
- SSL certificate (HTTPS) configured and renewed automatically
- Server security updates (PHP, MySQL, operating system)
- Application firewall (Wordfence or equivalent) and 24/7 monitoring
- Encrypted off-site backups
- Infrastructure-side Law 25 compliance: access logs, automatic deletion of expired data, subcontractor registry available
- Response procedure for removal requests (Law 25, section 28.1)
Hosting and maintenance: two distinct services that complement each other
Many SMBs mix up the two, and that's normal. Hosting is the building where your site lives. Maintenance is the upkeep of the apartment inside. Both matter, but they're different contracts. You can get just one of the two from us, or both.
Hosting
- Server infrastructure, email, domain
- Server performance and security
- Fixed annual plan
- Managed by our team or self-managed
Maintenance
- WordPress updates, backups, monitoring
- Application-level performance and security (WordPress)
- Flexible monthly plan
- Managed by our team
Who it's for
Elefen hosting is a fit for SMBs from 5 to over 100 employees, nonprofits and public organizations that want to keep their data in Canada, that have specific Law 25 requirements, or that simply want optimized WordPress hosting without managing the server themselves.
From our Drummondville office, we host sites we designed as well as sites built elsewhere, for organizations across Quebec — Early childhood centers, clinics, nonprofits and more.
