Industrial Company Website Care Plan: Monthly Fees in Montréal (2026)

The verdict in three sentences

An industrial website with no updates for 2 years piles up known vulnerabilities in its CMS, plugins and server, exploited by bots that scan the web nonstop. A care plan at EUR 80 to 600 excl. tax per month (roughly USD 90 to 650), split into 3 tiers, covers security updates, backups, 2 to 8 hours of included changes and a guaranteed recovery time of 4 to 24 hours. Against an average EUR 3,000 to 15,000 to restore a hacked site, not counting lost quote requests, the plan pays for itself in year one.

The 3 care plan tiers and what they cover

The IT manager of a mid-size manufacturer rarely has time to track patches for a CMS, a theme and twenty plugins. Yet the site still hosts product catalogues, spec sheets and the quote request form. A care plan turns an unpredictable cost into a fixed monthly budget with written commitments.

Essential suits a stable 10 to 20 page brochure site. Standard fits most manufacturers who regularly publish news and product sheets. Premium targets sites with a large technical catalogue, a distributor area or a quote form feeding a CRM.

The real cost of an unmaintained site

A hack is not just a cleanup invoice. The site can be blocked by browsers, deindexed, used to send spam or redirect visitors to fraudulent pages. The ranges below are a 2026 order of magnitude for a mid-size industrial site.

Under GDPR, a personal data breach must be notified to the authority within 72 hours; Canadian and Québec privacy rules also impose breach reporting. A site storing quote requests with names, emails and phone numbers is directly concerned.

Mini case study

Julien, IT manager at a 400-employee manufacturer, finds the website has had no updates for 2 years: 14 outdated plugins, 3 of them with published vulnerabilities. He signs a Standard plan at EUR 300 excl. tax per month, or EUR 3,600 per year. The first month is spent catching up on updates and setting up daily backups. The 4 included monthly hours, 48 hours a year, cover new product sheets that marketing used to have quoted separately. A single hack avoided, at the middle of the range, is worth about EUR 9,000, or 2.5 times the plan's annual cost.

FAQ

How much does an industrial website care plan cost in 2026?

Budget EUR 80 to 600 excl. tax per month depending on service level. Most mid-size manufacturers land on a middle tier between EUR 200 and 350 per month.

What happens to unused change hours?

It depends on the contract: some roll hours over to the next month, others do not. Check before signing, especially for an 8 hour monthly package.

What does a 4 hour guaranteed recovery time mean?

The provider commits to bring the site back online within 4 hours of detecting the incident, usually from a recent backup. That window becomes 8 or 24 hours on lower tiers.

Should we rebuild the site before signing a care plan?

Not necessarily. An initial audit checks whether the CMS and plugins can be updated; if the site is over 6 to 8 years old or runs on an abandoned version, a rebuild may cost less in the medium term.

Can a hacked site really cost up to EUR 15,000?

Yes for a site with a catalogue and customer data, including cleanup, restoration and internal time. The low end, about EUR 3,000, applies to a simple brochure site with a clean backup.
