Our Impact — From Dated Records, Not Estimates
Every number on this page is derived programmatically from records that carry their own dates — service registrations, domain lifespans, and a full census of our support conversations. The same series is published on our Candid nonprofit profile. Read how we count for definitions and honest caveats.
Nonprofits served per year
A nonprofit counts as served in a year when a charity service or registered domain was in force during that year. (*2026 is year-to-date.)

Domains under management
Each domain is a charity’s web and email identity that we keep registered, secured, and renewed. The current-year figure includes organizations on legacy hosting we manage outside WHMCS.
