If you are a Canadian company with an online presence, you should have a .CA domain name.
Because only Canadians can get a .CA domain, it becomes a beacon of trust for Canadians on the Web. A .CA domain is also a good SEO strategy: since .CA is exclusive to Canada, .CA domain names are given more prominence in search engines for customers searching within Canada.
As a fully accredited .CA registrar, Funio [...]
Starting April 21st, Google will be expanding the use of mobile-friendliness as a ranking signal. You understood that correctly: a Google search on mobiles will prioritize websites optimized for mobile devices.

“What’s the difference between shared hosting, a virtual private server (VPS), and a dedicated server”? The answer to that question contains multiple facets and is, in fact, NOT the question you should be asking yourself.

Since July 2014, Funio provides you with the opportunity to use PHP 5.6. Since this version has been thoroughly tested and has proven its worth, it is now the official PHP release version, therefore also making it Funio’s official version too!

As a webmaster, regardless [...]
SSL has been getting quite a bit of attention in the past few months, mostly because Google announced doing two things: use HTTPS as a ranking signal and stop supporting SHA-1 SSL certificates.
