About the Owner
I’m Don, a long‑time WordPress specialist and hosting professional based in London, Ontario. I’ve been building and managing websites and web hosting for clients since 1996, working with small businesses, trades, professionals, ministries, and mid‑sized companies across Canada. Over the years, I’ve supported hundreds of clients with stable, fast, and dependable web services built on solid hosting foundations.
I operate Hostnetave as an owner managed hosting service. Every website hosted here is supported directly by me. There is no outsourcing, no call centres, and no rotating support staff. When you need help, you speak with the same person who understands your web services, your goals, and your business.
My background includes work with HTML, CSS, early CMS platforms, and WordPress. I’ve contributed to large organizational websites, including past work on government projects and Fortune 500 companies. This experience shapes how Hostnetave operates today, applying high level standards to practical, real‑world small business hosting needs.
I’m a small business owner, and I enjoy working with other small business owners. We have different needs than large corporations, yet we’re often pushed into cheap, generic shared hosting that doesn’t provide the stability or support our businesses depend on. Hostnetave was created to solve that problem by offering Managed WordPress Cloud Hosting built specifically for small business websites.
WordPress has been my primary platform for the last 7 years because it gives small businesses the right balance of flexibility, stability, and long term control. The WordPress platform powers 43% of all website online! Your hosting needs to empower it's use, not hinder it. Hostnetave is built specifically for WordPress, using cloud hosting technology, Ceph storage, redundancy, and a managed environment that keeps your website stable and fast.
When your site is hosted with Hostnetave, you receive:
- personal support
- stable cloud hosting
- fast performance
- proper WordPress configuration
- long term reliability
- clear communication
- direct access to the owner
I keep things simple and predictable. No upselling. No pressure. No confusing technical language. Just dependable hosting, advice and support from someone who has been working with web hosting technology for decades.
Outside of hosting and web design, I’m a husband, a father, and a long‑time resident of London, Ontario.
If you’d like your WordPress website hosted with a service that is personally managed, stable, and supported directly by the owner, I’d be glad to help you succeed online. You will find me to be very knowledgeable, attentive and easy to communicate with, without "techno talk".
