Our worker co-op (http://cantrusthosting.coop) seeks to create an affordable, full-service web-hosting platform tailored to the needs of co-operative, non-profit and charity organizations for whom access to such Canadian-based services is cost prohibitive. Our worker-owner members can greatly reduce future development and maintenance costs for our clients by collectively managing Drupal-based, template-driven websites.
Why do we want to do this? Our clients want Canadian-based website hosting they can trust and our co-op members want to pool their efforts to pass savings onto our collective clients. Together, we are creating solid web-hosting infrastructure in Canada and keeping jobs/money in our local community. It's win-win-win!
