How website maintenance is really priced in Dhaka
The real reason Dhaka sites die, and what upkeep really costs
Before we talk about the website maintenance service price in Dhaka, here is a pattern I see every month. 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 runs out, and Chrome shows a red "Not Secure" warning to every visitor.
Then the owner messages me on WhatsApp to ask why customers suddenly don't trust the site. The answer is simple: nobody was watching it. That is what upkeep is for. It is not a luxury, it is the gap between a site that earns and a site that slowly rots while you think it's fine.
So the price question is really two questions in one. First, what does it cost to keep a site alive and safe? That means backups, updates, SSL and uptime. Second, what does it cost to keep it changing as your business grows? I split the bill on that exact line.
You pay a small fixed monthly fee for the set upkeep. Then you pay a published hourly rate for new work you ask for. You never get a vague "package" where you can't tell what you're paying for.
My upkeep rates sit on the same standards as my new builds. Those start at 50,000 BDT and step up to 90,000 and 1,50,000 BDT. Fully custom work starts from 3,00,000 BDT. If I built your site, I already know where every wire runs. So upkeep is cheaper and faster.
What if a Motijheel agency built it and then vanished? Then I run a paid audit first, for a flat fee. That way I'm not quoting upkeep on a black box full of plugins I've never seen.
I'm one senior operator, not a support queue with a ticket number. Say 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. There is no junior who has to wake up a senior on leave.
That direct line is the real product. The monthly fee buys you someone who is responsible for your site. It does not buy you a logo on a dead contract.
