A website is equipment, not a purchase. Left alone it accumulates outdated plugins, expired certificates and silently broken backups until one morning it is offline — usually during a campaign. The only real question is whether you maintain it yourself or pay someone.

Honest price bands

₹500 to ₹1,500 per month — basic

Updates, backups, uptime monitoring and security scanning for a small brochure site. Suitable for a five-page business site that changes rarely.

₹1,500 to ₹5,000 per month — standard

Everything above plus a monthly allowance of content-change hours, quarterly performance checks and priority support. This is the right band for most active service businesses in Hyderabad, Bengaluru or Chennai.

₹5,000 and above — e-commerce and high traffic

Stores taking payments need faster response times, staging-first updates and closer security monitoring. The downside risk is higher, so the cover costs more.

What must be included

  • Tested updates — core, plugins and themes, applied on a staging copy first for anything business-critical
  • Off-site backups — daily database, weekly files, stored away from your hosting account, with a restore actually tested
  • Security — firewall, malware scanning, login hardening, two-factor on admin accounts
  • Uptime monitoring with alerts to a human
  • Performance review — Core Web Vitals checked quarterly, because sites get slower as content accumulates
  • Content changes — a stated number of hours per month for prices, photos and new services
  • Renewals tracked — SSL, domain and hosting, renewed before expiry

The clause that matters more than the price

You must retain full administrative access to your domain, hosting and code. If a provider will not give you that, you are not buying a service, you are renting your own website. This single term is worth more than any discount on the monthly fee.

What it costs not to maintain

A hacked site gets flagged by Google, loses rankings built over months, and shakes customer trust in ways that take far longer to repair than the technical cleanup. Recovery nearly always costs several times a year of maintenance.

Questions before signing

Where are backups stored and how fast can you restore? What is the response time for a site-down emergency? Do unused content hours roll over? Do I get a monthly report or silence? Is there a notice period?
