I'm Dave Alden — a Perth County farm kid (raised near Mitchell, Ontario) who's called the Thamesford area home for the last 14 years. I'm a retired entrepreneur turned web builder, and I build real Canadian-hosted websites for local small businesses for $200 setup + $40/month. No contracts. No salespeople. No agency markup. Just your neighbour from down the road helping you get online.
Thamesford is small, tight-knit, and full of hard-working business owners — the kind of place where you still wave at people on the road and remember which kid belonged to which family. I grew up on a farm near Mitchell in Perth County, but my wife and I chose to make our home just outside Thamesford 14 years ago — and we've never regretted it. This is my community now, and I built DMWD Hosting specifically to serve the businesses that make it tick.
Most Thamesford-area businesses I talk to share the same story: they're great at what they do — whether that's running a Main Street shop, fixing engines, hauling material, or cleaning houses — but they've been priced out of getting a real website. Toronto agencies want $3,000-$5,000. London agencies want $1,500. Big-box website builders promise "easy" and deliver hours of frustration.
I built DMWD Hosting specifically for the businesses agencies ignore. $200 setup, $40/month, hosted in London Ontario, live in two weeks, no contracts. If you're from Thamesford and you've been putting off getting a website because the price tag scared you, this is genuinely for you.

Get Started TodayThamesford sits at the crossroads of Highway 19 and Highway 2, along the Thames River, halfway between London and Woodstock in Zorra Township, Oxford County. The community is home to roughly 3,500 residents and dozens of small businesses — from agricultural services and trades to family-run restaurants, salons, and Main Street shops.
As a Thamesford-area resident myself, I see the same pattern over and over: a hard-working local business owner doing excellent work that nobody outside their existing customer base can find online. Meanwhile, prospects within 10 km are searching Google, Facebook, and Apple Maps for exactly that kind of service — and finding the bigger competitors in London or Woodstock instead.
That's the gap DMWD Hosting closes. A real website, hosted in Canada, optimized for the towns you actually serve, at a price that makes sense for a small Thamesford-area business.
