Website Hosting & Maintenance
Monthly website hosting and maintenance for small businesses. Includes hosting, routine maintenance, bug fixes, technical support, and minor text and image changes within the agreed service scope. Pricing begins after website approval, before launch.
Subscriptions are activated upon website completion and approval. No charges occur automatically upon browsing.
1. Included Services
Depending on your confirmed service plan, the monthly hosting and maintenance subscription includes:
- High-Speed Cloud Hosting: Continuous website hosting on optimized infrastructure with standard SSL encryption.
- Routine Technical Maintenance: Core software updates, dependency checks, and routine performance monitoring.
- Bug Fixes & Technical Support: Diagnostic assistance and resolution for technical errors or display bugs on supported browsers.
- Content Maintenance: Reasonable minor text changes (e.g. updating business phone numbers, hours of operation, or service descriptions) and image swaps within the agreed monthly plan allowance.
2. Pricing Structure & Business Requirements (No Rigid Tiers)
There are no rigid tiers in our Hosting & Maintenance service. Instead, your ongoing monthly rate is customized between $50 and $150 per month, directly tailored to what your business requires:
- Type of Hosting Wanted: Server resource scale, bandwidth volume, speed caching optimization, SSL security management, and automated backup frequency.
- Monthly Edits Required: The frequency and volume of content changes needed each month - such as changing business phone numbers, updating operating hours, revising service prices, publishing seasonal promotions, and adding photo gallery images.
- Performance & Ongoing Bug Fixes: Continuous speed audits, mobile responsive maintenance, core system and security updates, bug troubleshooting, and direct technical support assistance.
3. Scope Exclusions
To preserve transparent pricing, the following items are not included in standard monthly maintenance and will be quoted separately:
- Full website redesigns or major aesthetic overhauls.
- Creating and coding entirely new pages, landing pages, or multi-page sections.
- Custom software development, advanced CRM integrations, or custom database applications.
- Domain name registration, transfer, or renewal fees (clients retain ownership with their registrar).
- Advertising management, pay-per-click ad spend, or off-page search engine marketing campaigns.
4. Subscription Timing & Cancellation Policy
The monthly hosting and maintenance subscription initiates only after the website build has been completed and formally approved by the client, immediately before the site is launched publicly.
The subscription operates on a month-to-month basis. Clients may cancel their subscription at any time by providing 30 days' advance notice via email to Shub@localwebart.com. Upon cancellation, the client may transfer their website files to an alternative host of their choice.
5. Refund Policy Notice
Monthly hosting and maintenance charges cover ongoing server resources and maintenance availability for each 30-day billing period and are non-refundable once the billing cycle begins, except as required by applicable consumer law. For questions regarding billing adjustments, clients may contact support directly.
