$33/mo, $0 setup, and your first month back if you're not happy. Tell us about your business — we fill a ready-made site (up to 9 pages) with your content, host it, and a real person checks it every month.
Up to 9 pages from our template library, populated with your business content from intake. Your chosen palette, polished typography, mobile-ready. Not a bespoke custom design — that's our paid build service. This is the fastest way to look legit online.
Dedicated resources on a real server. Not shared hosting where you compete with 500 other sites. Your site runs fast, always.
Already own a domain? On Starter, move its registrar to us free (free transfer), or pay $5 one-time to keep it where it is — we point the DNS either way. Need a new one? Starter + Domain is $39/mo total and we register and manage it for you. Plus and Pro include the domain.
Auto-renewing SSL, TLS 1.3 and HSTS, with DDoS protection at the edge. Weekly Shield checks of your site, certificate and email come free with every plan.
Your site cached across 300+ cities worldwide. Fast load times everywhere, not just near the server.
Backups with restore drills are rolling out now as part of Shield, so a restore has been tried before the day you need one.
Automatic checks around the clock. When something looks wrong, a person follows up during business hours.
Professional email at your domain forwarded to any inbox. [email protected] without paying for email hosting.
A real person checks your site monthly. Updates, fixes, performance checks. This is what nobody else includes at this price.
Site analytics, sitemap, meta tags, Open Graph setup. Know who visits and make sure search engines find you.
An AI chat widget trained on your business basics — hours, services, contact, policies. Answers visitor questions 24/7. Scoped tight to your business so it doesn't go off-topic. Voice chat and deeper product knowledge come with Plus.
No hidden fees, no bait. Here's exactly what each tier includes, what it costs, and what you unlock when you upgrade. Same hosting, same uptime, same support across all tiers — only the site features and depth change.

Uptime checked around the clock, and monthly maintenance by a person. When you're ready to sell or add features, one click upgrades you to Plus or Pro — no migration, no rebuild.

Rolling out now. The basics come free with every plan: weekly checks on your site's security settings, certificate and email anti-spoofing, a heads-up if someone signs into your mailbox from somewhere odd, and a plain-English report each month. Shield adds your accounts. We sit down with you once to switch on two-step login everywhere that matters, lock your domain, set you up with a password manager you own, and send breach alerts to you. Then we re-check it monthly, watch for look-alike domains, and help report fakes when they show up.
Opt-in, and only after you sign off on exactly what we'll touch. We set your office computers to a safe baseline, keep an eye on them, check your office network once a quarter with your written OK, and help clean up or rebuild a machine when it gets sick. Checks run around the clock; a person follows up in business hours.
Don't want to think about DNS, WHOIS, renewals, or TLS records? We register and manage a new domain for you. Set it once, never touch it again. Already own a domain? Stay on Starter: move its registrar to us free, or pay $5 one-time to keep it where it is. Plus and Pro include the domain.
Try Canoa for 30 days. If the waters aren't for you, we refund your first month in full. No forms, no hold music, no retention specialist trying to talk you out of it. Just a refund and a handshake.
No. The Starter includes a template-based website. We have six professionally designed templates — service, creative, storefront, food & retail, personal brand, event — and we populate one with your business content from intake. You don't open a builder, you don't stare at a blank page. You tell us about your business and we hand you a finished starter site within 48 hours.
No — be clear on that. The $33 Starter is a template site, populated with your content. Same template structure as other Starter customers, just with your business, your palette, and your content inside. If you want a fully bespoke design with custom photography, custom copy, and your own visual identity, that's our Custom Build service — one-time $500 and up. Many customers start on Starter to go live fast, then commission a Custom Build later.
Up to 9 pages on the Starter plan. Need more? Add an Extra Website upsell for +$27/mo, or upgrade to Plus or Pro for deeper feature sets.
Starter ($33/mo) is a template storefront with a text-only sales chatbot and preview-only product pages. Plus ($66/mo) unlocks live checkout, full product detail pages, voice chatbot, and visitor-switchable palettes. Pro ($99/mo) adds full e-commerce, newsletter + funnel, and a deeper chatbot knowledge base. You can upgrade any time with one click — no migration, no rebuild.
On Plus and Pro, yes. Starter ($33/mo) is hosting with your own domain: transfer it to us free, or pay $5 one-time and we point the DNS while it stays at your current registrar. Want us to register a new one? Starter + Domain is $39/mo total.
Yes. Migration is free. Send us your current host credentials or export files and we move everything — code, content, database, email — with zero downtime. Most migrations wrap up same day. Or, if you'd rather start fresh on our templates, we'll redesign it for you instead.
Canoa is built for people who don't want to think about hosting, code, or DNS. We handle every technical layer. You email us changes — or text, or call — and they get done. That's it.
Automatic checks run around the clock on every site we host, and a person follows up during business hours. There’s no uptime credit or SLA.
Yes. No contracts, no cancellation fees, no hoops. Cancel within the first 30 days and we refund your first month in full. Cancel later and you keep your current month — we won't charge the next one. The site files are yours; we'll hand them over.
A real human reviews your site every month: content updates, plugin and CMS updates, broken link checks, performance audit, security scan, backup verification. You get a short report in plain English — no jargon, no upsells buried in it.
Primary infrastructure runs on a server in Europe, behind a global CDN in 300+ cities — including every major Canadian city. Your visitors always hit the nearest edge, wherever they are.
Our monitor alerts us before you notice. We investigate immediately and push a fix or roll back to the most recent working backup. You'll usually hear from us before you realize there was a problem.
