Hosting & care pricing

How much does website hosting and maintenance cost?

Hosting and maintenance are the ongoing costs of keeping a website fast, secure, and online. Here is what they run and what should be included.

The short answer

Basic web hosting alone can be $5 to $30 per month, but managed hosting with security, backups, updates, and support typically runs $50 to $150 per month for a small business. Tech Turtle Managed Hosting is $50/mo and covers hosting, security monitoring, and regular backups. Website Care adds ongoing updates and content changes from $150/mo.

What changes the price

Managed vs unmanaged

Cheap hosting is just server space. Managed care adds the security, backups, updates, and support that keep a business site from breaking — the part that actually matters.

How often the site changes

A site with frequent content updates needs more ongoing attention than a stable brochure site that rarely changes.

Support expectations

A responsive local partner who answers quickly costs more than a support ticket in a queue — and is worth it when your site is down.

What hosting alone leaves out

The bargain hosting number you see advertised rarely includes the things that keep a business site healthy. Those gaps are exactly what a Hosting & Website Care plan covers.

  • Security monitoring and malware protection
  • Regular, tested backups you can actually restore from
  • Software and plugin updates so nothing breaks
  • Minor content changes handled for you

Why it is worth it

A website is a business asset. The worst time to learn nobody was backing it up is right after it breaks. Care is cheap insurance against downtime, lost data, and security problems that cost far more to fix.

Questions, answered honestly

You can, and basic hosting is inexpensive. The trade-off is that security, backups, updates, and fixes become your responsibility — and those are exactly the things that cause expensive problems when skipped.
