How much does website maintenance cost in India?
Short answer
Website maintenance in India usually costs ₹3,000–₹8,000 a month for a small business site and ₹10,000–₹25,000 a month for ecommerce or high-traffic sites. It covers hosting, security and plugin updates, backups, uptime monitoring, small content changes and speed checks.
WordPress sites need the most upkeep because plugins and themes need regular security updates. Shopify and managed React/Next.js sites need less because the platform handles hosting and security.
A good maintenance plan includes daily backups, monthly updates, uptime alerts, a fixed number of content-change hours and a short monthly report.
Skipping maintenance is the most common reason Indian business sites get hacked, slow down or drop in Google results.
