Modern Slavery Statement

The financial year ending 2026 is what this statement covers, and it records the steps we have taken so that modern slavery and human trafficking find no place in the business or in the chain behind it.

It is published voluntarily. A statement is required by Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 from any commercial organisation turning over £36 million or above, and Azaanex Inc. sits below that threshold. Saying as much beats letting you assume a statutory duty that does not apply to us, and modest size is no excuse for holding no position at all.

1. Our structure and business

Azaanex Inc. is a company registered in Canada under Company No. 1766541-5, whose registered office stands at 5-145 1/2 Church St, Toronto, Ontario M5B 1Y4, Canada. It trades as Hosting & Domains.

What the business sells online is web hosting, servers and domain names. A small team runs it under a Canadian company, the hosting platform itself operates from the United Kingdom, and there is no manufacturing here, no physical distribution, and no seasonal or agency labour.

2. Our supply chain

Behind a hosting account the chain runs short:

• a UK hosting platform provider, the party running the physical infrastructure;
• registries and registrars covering each domain extension on our list;
• software vendors, meaning control panels, billing and security tooling;
• payment providers, plus a provider for transactional email;
• professional services: accountancy and legal.

All of them are established technology and professional firms based in the UK, the EEA and the United States, working in regulated sectors under compliance duties of their own.

3. Where the risk genuinely lies

Across our direct operations and our immediate suppliers, we put the modern slavery risk at low. The work here is skilled and salaried, contracted in the UK, and carried out either in an office or from home.

One honest qualification belongs here: the deeper tiers are harder to see. Building a data centre, manufacturing hardware, and pulling the minerals that go into that hardware out of the ground all carry documented risk around the world, and every one of those activities sits several steps past our direct relationships. No audit of them is claimed. What lies within reach is choosing suppliers who publish a position of their own, and weighing that in the decision. So that is what we do.

4. Our policies, and what we check

• Everyone who works for us comes on written terms, is paid at the statutory minimum or above it, and has their right to work in the UK checked.
• No one here has to hand over identity documents, and nobody is ever charged a fee for work or for a placement.
• Whatever their size, a new supplier gets checked for a published modern slavery position wherever the Act reaches them, and for anything on the public record that cuts against it.
• Find a supplier caught up in forced labour and we would end the relationship, then report the matter to the appropriate authority.

5. Training

With a team this size, the subject comes up as a conversation and not as a course. Anybody who hires, or who picks a supplier, is briefed on the indicators of forced labour and on the way to raise a concern. Saying that plainly beats writing up a training programme that has never existed.

6. Raising a concern

In confidence, and from anyone at all: an employee, a contractor, a supplier, a customer. Concerns go to info@hosting-n-domains.com, or through the complaints procedure. Raise a concern in good faith and nothing follows for you personally, whether the concern proves founded or comes to nothing.

Where somebody stands in immediate danger, call the police on 999. Reports also go to the Modern Slavery Helpline on 08000 121 700.

7. Review

We review this every year and republish it with a fresh date, whether the content has moved or not. A statement left to go stale says nothing useful to whoever reads it.
