Hosting
Hosting is the home for your web site, you need it to have your site on the web. We can offer you hosting as well as related services for your website.
Do You Know Where Your Server is Located?
Did you know that a large amount of websites are hosted on shared servers in countries other than Canada and the US, regardless of where the owner purchases the domain? Unfourtunately this means that many servers have no laws or rules for what kind of websites are hosted on it. With no laws or rules, websites such as a spamming sites, gambling, adult rated and more can be hosted on these servers. If your website is on the same server as an unfriendly site, it can become associated with a related address. This works similar to if you lived on a street next to a drug dealer, people may want to avoid your neighbourhood all together, even if it has nothing to do with you. With a server, if you are on the same server that someone wants to block a spamming site, you risk being blocked yourself!
The
Pixelgems servers are located in Canada. This means that Canadian laws apply to all websites on the servers and you can be assured that any illegal sites will not be on the same server as your site. Since our servers belong to us, only the sites WE approve are on the server, further giving you peace of mind of the content living next door to your website. We also monitor every website, making sure no one adds illegal or offending material on their site.
