Most Dhaka businesses don't think about maintenance cost until the site is already down — usually mid-campaign, usually on a weekend. I price upkeep the boring, honest way: a fixed monthly fee for the guaranteed work, a published rate for change requests, and a real person who answers when checkout breaks at 10pm in Gulshan.

Here is the pattern I see every month in Dhaka. A business pays an agency in Banani or Mirpur to build a site, the build goes fine, and then the agency goes quiet. Six months later the SSL certificate expires, Chrome throws a red "Not Secure" warning, and the owner is messaging me on WhatsApp asking why customers suddenly don't trust the site. Nobody was watching it. That is what maintenance is — not a luxury, but the difference between a site that earns and a site that quietly rots while you assume it's fine.
So the website maintenance service price in Dhaka question is really two questions hiding in one. What does it cost to keep a site alive and safe — backups, updates, SSL, uptime — and what does it cost to keep it changing as your business changes. I split the bill exactly along that line: a small fixed monthly fee for the guaranteed upkeep, and a published hourly rate for new work you actually request. You never get a vague "package" where you can't tell what you're paying for.
My maintenance rates sit on top of the same standards as my new builds, which start at 50,000 BDT and step through 90,000 and 1,50,000 BDT tiers, with fully custom work from 3,00,000 BDT. If I built your site, I already know where every wire runs, so maintenance is cheaper and faster. If a Motijheel agency built it and then disappeared, I run a paid audit first — a flat fee — so I'm not quoting upkeep on a black box stuffed with plugins I've never seen.
I'm one senior operator, not a support queue with a ticket number. When a WooCommerce store in Dhanmondi has its bKash gateway fail during a Friday flash sale, you message me directly and I'm the one who fixes it — not a junior who has to wake up a senior who's on leave. That direct line is the actual product. The monthly fee buys you someone who is accountable, not a logo on a dead contract.
Every plan shares the same baseline below. What changes between a brochure site in Uttara and a busy store in Gulshan is response time, included change hours, and how hard the security and performance work has to push.
I quote the monthly figure in BDT before you commit, with a written list of what's covered and what triggers an extra charge. No "call us for pricing" and no renewal surprise three months in.
Certificate expiry alerts and 24/7 uptime monitoring. The classic Dhaka failure — an expired SSL scaring off mobile buyers — gets caught before your customers ever see the red warning.
Daily database and weekly full-site backups stored away from your hosting account. When a cheap local server gets wiped or oversold, your business doesn't vanish with it.
WordPress core, theme and plugins updated on a staging copy first, then pushed live. No white-screen-of-death on a Tuesday because one plugin auto-updated and broke the homepage.
bKash, Nagad and SSLCommerz gateway breaks, plus Pathao and Steadfast API changes, handled inside the retainer. On a Dhaka store these break more often than anything else on the site.
A monthly budget of change-request hours for price updates, banner swaps, new products and copy tweaks — exactly the small jobs Dhaka owners message about weekly. Unused hours roll over once.
If you've collected maintenance quotes around Dhaka you've seen the spread: a Facebook freelancer offering 1,000 BDT a month, a Gulshan agency wanting 15,000-plus, and everything in between. The gap isn't skill — it's what the word "maintenance" secretly means in each quote. The 1,000 BDT plan is almost always nothing: no off-server backups, no staging, no real monitoring, and a person who stops replying the moment something actually breaks. You're not buying maintenance, you're buying the feeling of it.
The agency quote often bundles a hosting markup and a layer of account managers you'll never need. My fee is the work itself, done by the person who built or audited your site — which is why I can keep a site I made cheaper than anyone re-learning it from scratch.
Four honest things move the website maintenance service price in Dhaka up or down. First, the stack: a five-page company brochure is far cheaper to keep alive than a WooCommerce store wired into bKash, Nagad, Pathao and Steadfast, because every integration is one more thing a vendor can break with a silent API change. Second, traffic and revenue — a store doing real daily orders needs tighter monitoring and faster response than a site nobody visits at 2am.
Third, change volume — if you run Facebook ads into landing pages and ship new offers weekly, you're spending real hours every month and the plan should say so. Fourth, the state of the codebase — pirated themes and forty stacked plugins always cost more to keep stable, which is exactly why I audit any inherited Dhaka site before I name a number.

It depends on the site, not on your area. A simple WordPress business site I built starts at a low fixed monthly fee. A WooCommerce store in Gulshan or Dhanmondi with bKash, Nagad and courier APIs costs more because more can break. After a 10-minute call about your site I send a written quote with the exact BDT figure — no "inquiry only" games.
Yes — this is half of who messages me. I run a paid flat-fee audit first so I know exactly what plugins, theme and custom code I'm inheriting, then quote upkeep on that. If you sign a 6 or 12-month plan after the audit, the audit fee is credited back. You're never stuck waiting on an agency that stopped replying.
Both options exist, and yes to bKash, Nagad and bank transfer. Most Dhaka clients take the yearly care plan because it works out cheaper per month; it's paid 50% advance and 50% at the six-month mark. Monthly plans are paid at the start of each month.
Anything that's new building rather than upkeep — full redesigns, new page templates, a new payment gateway, platform migration, big SEO overhauls or content writing — is quoted separately at a published rate. The small stuff — price changes, banner swaps, adding products, contact-info edits — sits inside the plan.
Uptime monitoring pings me the moment the site is unreachable, so I often know before you do. WhatsApp is the fastest line to me directly and I respond quickly even outside hours. For yearly plans on Dhaka ecommerce stores, the response time is committed in writing — because a dead store during a sale is the most expensive hour of your year.
No — I don't resell hosting, because the markup tempts agencies to dump clients on bad oversold servers. I'll recommend a setup that fits your Dhaka traffic, help you buy it in your own name, and manage it inside the retainer. You own the account. If you ever leave, the whole site leaves with you.
