Simply put, Carbon60 provides a reliable, scalable and secure WordPress hosting platform in Canada and beyond for companies that can’t afford to be down. We cater to agencies and customers with websites that are high-traffic and high-visibility where any issues can have serious impact to their brand. Our depth and nimble structure can adapt to important deployments or events to help clients be successful – always.

We’ve tailored WordPress over the past several years to work effectively on our platform for our customers and it just works. As an increasing number of businesses in the private and public sector realize the benefits and economies of WordPress, they can focus on their content and messaging while we manage the platform infrastructure and security.

WordPress managed hosting is a niche that Carbon60 has built. Enterprise clients tend to have governance and in some cases regulatory requirements. We start with a high bar for security to help these customers specifically, but all customers small to large also benefit from this approach. The WordPress hosting business also very easily translates to our broader managed hosting business for the same customers.
