Pain Points
Where marketing programs usually get stuck
Problems that come up again and again when we review a new account, and what we do about each one.
Where to start
Which of these sounds like your situation?
Three services from this line that many businesses begin with. Each page explains the work, the timeline and how we report on it.
What's Included
managed hosting services we offer
Pick the piece you need or combine several. Each one is shaped around your goals and has its own page with the details.
Our Process
From first call to monthly review
Four stages, each with a clear output you can check.
Assess what you run today
We inventory your applications, servers, dependencies and data flows, and note where each one is hosted. You get a plain map of what depends on what and where the weak points are.
Design the target environment
Dedicated, private cloud or hybrid, chosen per workload. We set the redundancy level, where data must reside and how the environment will scale, and agree the plan with you in writing.
Migrate in planned windows
Workloads move in stages, with a rollback path for each one. Cutovers are scheduled outside your business hours (Eastern Time unless you tell us otherwise) and tested before your team logs in.
Run, watch and review
We monitor the environment around the clock, handle patching and capacity, and meet with you on a fixed schedule to review usage, incidents and what should change next.
Hosting that answers the data residency question
More Canadian buyers now ask where their information is stored before they sign. PIPEDA does not ban storing personal information outside Canada, but it holds you accountable for it wherever it goes. Quebec's Law 25 asks for a privacy impact assessment before personal information leaves the province. Ontario health custodians working under PHIPA, and many public-sector buyers, write location requirements into their contracts. We design around that from the start. Workloads that need to stay in Canada are placed in Canadian data centres or Canadian cloud regions, such as those in Toronto and Montréal, and backups follow the same rule. The location of every component is recorded, so your next security questionnaire takes an afternoon instead of a week.
- Hosting location chosen per workload and recorded
- Backups and replicas kept to the same residency rule
- An environment map ready for vendor and privacy reviews
- Room for French-language users and Québec offices
Assume parts will fail and plan for it
Hardware fails, carriers have outages and updates go wrong. A dependable environment is one where none of those events reaches your users. Our high-availability builds sit in tier-rated data centres with redundant power and multi-homed carrier feeds, and they use automated failover so a failed node or site hands over to a healthy one without waiting for someone to notice. We test that failover on a schedule. A plan that has never been tried is a guess.
- Redundant power and multi-homed carrier connections
- Automated failover between nodes and sites
- Failover tested on a schedule, with results shared
- Single points of failure listed and removed
The people who built it also run it
Hosting often breaks down at the handoffs: one firm builds the server, another manages the network, a developer deploys the app and nobody owns the whole. CreateITivity also does development and SEO, so the team that hosts your site or platform understands how the application behaves, what slows it down and what a change will affect. You get one point of contact for the environment, one set of documentation and one team answering when something is wrong.
- Hosting, application and network handled together
- One contact for incidents and changes
- Runbooks and credentials that belong to you
- Fits alongside our IT operations and security services
