Plain explanations of what keeps a website running: updates, backups, monitoring, and what it all costs. Written for the person who looks after the site, not for developers.
Published guides put small-business website maintenance at $30 to $500 a month, and their ranges all overlap between $50 and $100. The fee buys the work: updates, backups, monitoring, and change time. The domain, hosting, and plugin licenses are costs of owning the site, separate from that work, whoever does it.
