PROFIT Magazine has included Canada Web Hosting, in the 18th annual ranking of Canada's 100 fastest growing companies, published in the June issue of PROFIT and online at PROFITguide.com. Ranking Canada's Fastest-Growing Companies by five-year revenue growth, the PROFIT 100 profiles Canada's most successful growth companies, and is Canada's largest annual celebration of entrepreneurial achievement.
According to the company, its success is attributed to over 1000% organic growth over the last five years. Ian Portsmouth, Editor of PROFIT explained, “The PROFIT 100 are role models for anyone who wants to seize today's business opportunities. By differentiating their products and applying creative management thinking, Canada's Fastest-Growing Companies are outpacing the competition at home and abroad.”
According to Canada Web Hosting, in 2004, the company embarked on a comprehensive restructuring program to create the sales, engineering, technical support and data center infrastructure necessary to service organizations with mission-critical web applications requiring complex Linux and Windows hosting solutions with high-availability and disaster recovery features. Although a relatively small part of the total web hosting market, Canada Web Hosting has attempted to fill this niche with high-value solutions for small and Fortune 100 companies in Canada and the United States.
Since January 2005, Canada Web Hosting has grown 400% and expanded to over 50 staff members with offices in Toronto, Vancouver and Kelowna, BC. Unlike other fast growth companies, Canada Web Hosting has not been fueled buy venture capital and acquisitions, almost a quarter of its growth each month coming from existing clients expanding services with Canada Web Hosting.
Brian Shepard, President of Canada Web Hosting commented, “All the employees at Canada Web Hosting have worked incredibly hard to create a top-notch services company, it is very difficult work and it is great to see their achievements recognized in such a prestigious business publication. In 2007, Canada Web Hosting is planning for more rapid growth as it re-launches its services into the United States and Canada under the Reliant brand name.”
Canada Web Hosting endeavors to deliver mission-critical hosting solutions to Canadian and American clients from its world-class operations centers in Toronto and Vancouver. CWH's mission is to provide the highest-value enterprise-class hosting solutions available in Canada through a comprehensive, customer-focused sales and technical support model in combination with robust network and data center services from key geographical locations.
