What does website maintenance cost?
For an ordinary business website in 2026 you often see monthly amounts between €25 and €150 for hosting, updates and a small change bundle. Above that sit retainers with development hours. Below that amount you usually get hosting only, without recovery or changes.
OmniTechs does not sell a standalone WordPress maintenance package. Care belongs to a site or integration OmniTechs has delivered. Care Basis is €39 per month excl. VAT (€390 per year excl. VAT when paid annually in advance), Care Plus €119 per month excl. VAT, Care Pro €345 per month excl. VAT. All three can be cancelled monthly.
Fixed Care levels
What you pay monthly at OmniTechs
Prices exclude VAT. Paying annually in advance costs ten months instead of twelve. No SLA, no 24/7.

|---|---|---|
| Care Basis | €39 per month excl. VAT | Hosting, SSL, backups, security updates, two small text changes |
| Care Plus | €119 per month excl. VAT | Everything in Basis, plus one hour of change work and a quarterly check |
| Care Pro | €345 per month excl. VAT | Everything in Plus, plus three hours of development time and integration monitoring |
Also compare who performs the checks
A monthly fee does not say who investigates a failed form delivery or restores a backup in a test environment. Record per task the performer, check, follow-up and evidence. This helps compare agreements; it does not create an extra maintenance offer outside the described scope.
Full price build-up: what really sits in the monthly fee
Website maintenance costs are rarely one line item. An honest comparison counts hosting, certificate, backups, updates, recovery after outage and hours for text changes. Anyone who buys only "maintenance" without that list buys a word.
- Hosting and SSL — without this the site is unreachable or unencrypted.
- Backups with a retention period — a backup without a restore test is a file, not a safety net.
- Platform security updates — not the same as new pages.
- Change hours — text, a button, a redirect. New functionality belongs in a separate assignment.
- Monitoring — knowing the site is down before a customer says so.
What are the yearly costs of a website?
Add build or yearly further development, hosting, maintenance and the hours that stay internal. At OmniTechs, Care is a monthly fee; annual advance payment is ten months, so Care Basis costs €390 per year excl. VAT for twelve months of service.
Domain, email and advertising sit outside that. They do not belong in the maintenance fee unless the provider includes them explicitly.
What are the monthly costs of WordPress?
WordPress is a platform, not a price category. Hosting for a simple WordPress site can be tens of euros per month; updates, plugin maintenance and recovery after a hack often sit outside that. OmniTechs does not offer a WordPress maintenance package for arbitrary sites.
How you maintain WordPress: updates, strong accounts, backups, only plugins you know. What you do in the first 24 hours after a hack is on a separate page — that is incident work, not a retainer.
