Website Maintenance Services in Dubai

Website maintenance in Dubai costs AED 800 to 3,800 a year for a starter site and AED 3,000 to 8,000 a year for a corporate site or store, which is what keeps the site patched, backed up, fast and ranking after launch. DataMySite runs maintenance plans for WordPress, Shopify, WooCommerce, Laravel and custom sites, with a UAE-based team, a staging site for every update and a monthly report that says what was done. Below: what a plan covers, the three tiers, how fast we respond and the running costs to budget alongside it. Part of our website development services.

Why a finished website still needs maintenance

A website is software, and software that is not updated stops working or gets broken into. WordPress core, themes and plugins ship security patches every month; PHP versions reach end of life; browsers change what they render; forms silently stop sending; SSL certificates expire. The sites that go down, lose rankings or get hacked in Dubai are overwhelmingly the ones nobody has touched since launch. A maintenance plan is cheaper than a rescue, and a rescue is cheaper than a rebuild, which is the order most businesses discover them in.

What every plan covers

Updates applied on a staging copy first, tested, then pushed live, so an update never takes down the site it was meant to protect. Daily off-site backups with a one-click restore. Uptime monitoring that alerts us before a customer tells you. Security: firewall, malware scans, login protection and SSL renewal. A set number of support hours each month for the changes a business actually needs: a new banner, a price, a team member, a blog post, a form field. And a monthly report in plain language: what was updated, what was fixed, what we recommend next.

Speed and search are maintenance, too

Sites slow down over time as images, plugins and scripts accumulate, and Google notices before you do. The Business and Store plans include speed checks and fixes, broken-link sweeps and a quarterly Core Web Vitals review, so the technical SEO that was done at launch is still true a year later. Where rankings matter, the same team that maintains the site can run the SEO work alongside it, which keeps the two from undoing each other.

Platforms we maintain

WordPress and WooCommerce, Shopify, Magento, Laravel and custom PHP sites, including sites we did not build. Taking over someone else's site starts with an audit: versions, plugins, backups, hosting, access, and the list of things that are quietly broken. You get the audit report whether or not you take a plan. Hosting can stay where it is or move to a managed UAE or EU server if that is what the site needs; the cost guide puts managed hosting at AED 2,000 to 6,000 a year for a corporate site. Stores we build are covered on the same plans; see e-commerce development.

Response times and what counts as urgent

Site down, checkout failing, forms not sending, a security alert: urgent, and the Store plan carries 24/7 alerts for them. Content changes, new pages and design tweaks go into the month's support hours and are scheduled. Starter plans are answered the next working day, Business the same working day, Store the same day seven days a week. Every request is logged, so the monthly report is a record rather than a memory.

The yearly budget to plan for

Maintenance sits alongside three other running costs: the domain at AED 100 to 200 a year, hosting and SSL at AED 400 to 1,200 for shared hosting or AED 2,000 to 10,000 managed, and theme, plugin or app licences at AED 200 to 5,000 depending on the site. Together that is AED 1,500 to 6,000 a year for a starter site, AED 5,600 to 16,200 for a corporate site and AED 8,000 to 20,000 for a store before payment gateway fees, as published in our website cost guide. The plan price on this page is the maintenance line of that table.
