Canada Web Hosting moves to 11^th position on the 19^th annual PROFIT 100 ranking of Canada’s Fastest-Growing Companies.

“Moving up 42 spots in ranking from 2006 is a celebration of the company’s unwavering commitment to deliver high value, enterprise-class managed hosting services,” says Brian Shepard, CEO of Canada Web Hosting.

In Canada's largest annual celebration of entrepreneurial achievement, PROFIT Magazine’s Editor, Ian Portsmouth explains, “PROFIT 100 companies are the new heroes of Canadian business, creating jobs at home and products used around the world. They’ve accomplished this by building great employee teams, exploiting export markets and rapidly responding to the customer’s fast-changing needs.” In the 19^th annual PROFIT 100 ranking published in the June issue of PROFIT and online at PROFITguide.com, PROFIT Magazine recognizes Canada Web Hosting’s over 3800% growth in revenues over the past five years.

In 2006 almost a quarter of Canada Web Hosting’s growth each month was derived from existing clients expanding their managed hosting services. Through a focus on partnerships and on comprehensive solutions built around ITIL best practices for IT service management, Canada Web Hosting has continued to show leadership in this challenging market. To further help manage and accelerate their growth Canada Web Hosting also embarked on a successful campaign to attract experienced management professionals in the areas of IT Services, Marketing, Human Resources, and Research & Development. By drawing on the knowledge of individuals that have many years of Hosting experience, Canada Web Hosting has scaled its operations smoothly and deepened its core competencies. Since January 2005, Canada Web Hosting has expanded to over 70 staff members with offices in Toronto, Vancouver and Kelowna.

Brian Shepard reflects, “This honour is yet another testament to the hard work of all our employees and confirms that our strategy of focusing on great people, great service, and robust IT Service Management continues to impress existing and new customers. It is very satisfying to see our staff’s achievements once again recognized in such a prestigious business publication. Canada Web Hosting is planning for more rapid growth as it further expands its market share in both foreign and domestic markets.”
