How Much Does it Cost to Maintain a Website?
There are several aspects to maintaining a website and the costs depend on each of those. This includes domain renewal, hosting, updates, backups and site maintenance. Each of these aspects is equally important for running a website.
As a leading web design company in Manchester, we offer reliable and affordable website maintenance solutions. We can take care of all of these aspects under one roof for your complete peace of mind.
Let’s explore each of these aspects of website maintenance in detail.
Domain Renewal
Although this is a small yearly cost, this is the most important part. After all, this is your website’s name (such as www.bluewhalemedia.co.uk).
This would be roughly £10 to £20 a year.
If you want to save in this regard, it’s a good idea to purchase the license for a few years such as for 5 years or even 10 years. Not only can you save a bit, pre-paying for several years in advance saves you from the hassle of renewing every year.
Hosting
When it comes to hosting, the options are simply limitless. However, it’s best to host your website with your web design company in Manchester. That’s because your agency has put in lots of hard work to build the website and they’d put in their all to keep the website safe and secure.
At Blue Whale Media, we offer high-quality website hosting for as low as £10 per month.
Monthly Website Support
There are several aspects to this including backups, software updates and site maintenance.
Backups are important. They ensure you always have a copy of your website in case the worse happens. So, in case you lose your website to hacking or due to any unforeseen circumstances, you won’t have to build a new website from scratch.
The backups would help restore your website in no time. And if your site is an eCommerce store, there’s a lot of data that’s crucial to your business that you can’t do without.
Then there are software updates to your CMS website. If your website is on WordPress, this is an important task. WordPress regularly releases software updates to fix bugs and vulnerabilities. If your website and plugins are not updated to the latest version, it becomes prone to hacking attacks.
