Hosting Built on
Canadian Values
Canadian-owned and operated since 2002. Webfire is straightforward hosting for businesses, developers, and organizations that want reliable infrastructure, honest pricing, and a team that actually picks up the phone.
Our Story
Webfire Internet Services has been providing web hosting and infrastructure from Edmonton, Alberta since 2002 — back when shared hosting was the backbone of every small business website. What started as a lean operation built on a passion for Linux systems and networking has grown into a focused hosting provider serving businesses, developers, and organizations across Canada.
From the beginning, our approach has been straightforward: offer reliable hosting, back it with real human support, and treat customers the way we'd want to be treated. We've never chased scale for its own sake. Instead, we've focused on running a tight operation where every customer matters and every support ticket gets answered by someone who actually knows the infrastructure.
Over the years we've modernized continuously — enterprise NVMe storage, Proxmox KVM virtualization, automated daily backups — but the core values haven't changed. Same price at renewal. Same team picking up the tickets. Same Edmonton data centre keeping your data in Canada.
Webfire is led by Daniel A. Yakiwchuk, who has been building and operating Canadian hosting infrastructure since the company's founding. That continuity matters: the same person who designed the network in 2002 is still responsible for it today.

What We Stand For
Six principles that have guided us since day one — and still do.
Real Human Support
When you contact us, you reach a person who understands hosting — not a chatbot, not a script. If something's wrong, we stay with you until it's right.
Reliability & Uptime
We invest in quality hardware, redundant systems, and proactive monitoring. Our goal is simple: your sites stay online, and your data stays safe.
Transparent Pricing
The price on our website is the price you pay — this month and next year. No introductory discounts that jump on renewal. No hidden fees. Ever.
Security & Backups
Daily backups on all hosting plans. Snapshots on all VPS plans. We keep server software current, apply security patches promptly, and take a proactive approach to protecting your data.
Modern Infrastructure
Enterprise NVMe storage across all plans, Proxmox KVM for virtual servers, DirectAdmin for shared hosting. Fast, stable, and open-source where it counts.
Canadian Roots
Based in Edmonton, Alberta. We understand the Canadian market and the value of keeping your data on home soil.
How We Run Our Infrastructure
We don't outsource our network or resell someone else's infrastructure. Our servers are in an Edmonton data centre — physically located in Alberta, Canada. Your data doesn't move across a border, and you're not subject to foreign data access laws.
Shared hosting runs on DirectAdmin, which we chose for its stability and simplicity compared to heavier alternatives. VPS plans run on Proxmox VE with KVM virtualization — enterprise-grade hypervisor technology that gives each virtual machine fully dedicated resources and hardware-level isolation.
We don't oversell capacity. If we say you have 10 GB of NVMe storage, that storage exists and isn't shared twenty ways with other accounts.

Need Infrastructure-Grade Hosting?

That's where Cloudspace comes in. Founded under the same ownership, Cloudspace is our infrastructure-grade brand offering private cloud, larger VPS configurations, Kubernetes, GPU compute, and hosting designed with regulatory requirements in mind.
