Hostway

Hostway is a privately held hosting and digital services provider with historical operations in Canada, including a long-standing presence in Vancouver, British Columbia, and an additional office in Toronto, Ontario. Hostway was founded in 1998 and built its Canadian footprint through its earlier expansion in the hosting and managed infrastructure market, including the merger with Canada’s NetNation. Today, the Hostway brand is positioned primarily around web hosting, VPS hosting, email, and website services for business customers, while its Canadian presence has historically included office and data center operations in downtown Vancouver.

Known for its business-focused hosting services, long-running Canadian market presence, and portfolio of hosting and email platforms, Hostway supports small and mid-sized businesses seeking hosted infrastructure and digital services. A notable milestone in the company’s evolution was the 2019 merger of Hostway Services and Hosting.com, after which the combined company rebranded as Ntirety; however, the Hostway brand continues to operate for web, email, and hosting services.
