Hosting and care · Toronto
Someone still
looking after it.
136 business websites in Toronto still show a copyright line five years old or more. Almost none of those owners decided to let the site rot — the person who built it moved on and there was nobody left to ask for a change.
These are counts, not projections. 2,700 Toronto listings, 1,427 working websites opened and read.
What the monthly fee is actually for
Hosting, the domain, the certificate, edits whenever you need them, your Google listing and ongoing search work. Not a maintenance plan on top of a separate SEO retainer on top of hosting — that arrangement is how three companies end up not quite talking to each other about one website.
Measurement first
530 of the 1,427 sites we opened in Toronto have no analytics at all, which means their owners cannot tell whether anything they do works. That goes in before the work, not after.
What counts as an edit
Text, prices, photographs, a new service, a seasonal notice, a page for a new location. If it takes under an hour it is included, and most things do.
Trade by trade
Gyms lead
the list in Toronto.
Broken out by trade, because the Toronto average hides a lot. The gap between gyms at 22 and caterers at 13 is most of the story.

Questions
The usual questions.
How many Toronto websites are abandoned?
Of 1,427 working sites we opened in Toronto, 136 carry a copyright line five years old or older and 823 carry no date at all. Only 672 show this year or last.
Is there a contract?
No. The monthly part is month to month, and the site and the domain are yours either way.
Your turn
Same check,
run on your site.
The check behind this page is the one we ran on every business above. Put your own address in and it will load your site on a phone screen, look at the certificate and the page age, and tell you what a visitor meets. No email, nothing stored.
