Website Maintenance Cost Per Year — 2026 Pricing Guide
Website maintenance costs $0 to $3,600 per year in 2026. Here is what each tier actually covers — and which corners are dangerous to cut.
DIY ($60-$300/yr)
Hosting + domain only. Fine for personal sites, dangerous for business sites — security patches and broken integrations become your problem.
Lifetime support included ($0/yr)
SiteFyd includes lifetime bug fixes, security patches, and uptime monitoring at no extra cost. See affordable web design services.
Light retainer ($600-$1,200/yr)
Quarterly check-ins, plugin updates, security monitoring. Standard for small business sites without lifetime support.
Growth tier ($2,388/yr)
SiteFyd Growth at $199/mo: monthly content brief, rank tracking, technical audit, internal-linking pass. Right for sites driving real revenue.
Scale tier ($5,988/yr)
SiteFyd Scale at $499/mo: 4 articles/mo, link building, competitor monitoring, quarterly strategy. Right for businesses competing in serious SEO markets.
What happens if you skip maintenance
Plugin vulnerabilities, broken forms, expired SSL, and dropped rankings within 12-18 months. Always budget at least something. Compare retainer options in our services overview.
