Know the ongoing cost
Compare costs
Choose the part of your setup you are buying or reviewing. Renewal terms, required fees, and the features you need matter more than an introductory offer.
The comparison pages show source links and verification dates. Use the country switch for CAD or USD; an approximate conversion is marked with ≈. Check billing currency, sales tax, and the final total before paying.
Compare the part you pay for
The address you own
Domain registrars
Compare registration, renewal, transfer terms, and multi-year costs for .com and .ca domains. Check mandatory fees and the final checkout total.
Where your website lives
Website & hosting
Compare website builders with the free static-hosting route. Decide how you will edit the site, what it must do, and how much support you need.
An address or a mailbox?
Business email
Start with free incoming email forwarding if it meets your needs, then compare paid mailboxes and team suites. Receiving and sending are separate capabilities.
Apply it to your own business
A provider comparison is the starting point. Your bills, bundled services, migration work, and time determine whether switching makes sense.
Calculate recurring costs
Enter what you pay today and compare the recurring infrastructure with the Scout stack. Read the assumptions before treating the difference as savings.
Audit your actual bills
Find renewal dates, bundled charges, and account owners before cancelling a service or buying a replacement.
Plan launch cash & time
Use the optional budget planner for launch, first-year, and ongoing costs. Keep an unknown quote separate from a genuine zero.
