How much does a website cost per year? IndianWebs© Web Design and Online Marketing

Our clients often ask us how much a website costs per year and this question is becoming more and more repetitive so we are going to try to answer it.

How much does it cost to have a website per year?

The first thing we must understand is that having a website has annual costs to assume, starting with the domain, which has an annual cost, the hosting and the web maintenance services, if used, to operate the platform they have created.

But let's go step by step, in this article I am going to list and indicate the REAL figures (web cost per year) that must be paid to our provider depending on the website you have.

1. Domain cost per year

How much does a domain cost per year?

The annual cost of the internet domain depends on whether it is a .es, .com. info, .net, etc. and usually varies between ten and twenty-five euros. The period, generally, that we are requested is one year, but some prefer to contract the internet domain for several years, the reason is because it is a factor that improves web positioning by telling Google that you are going to be in the market for a long time and You are not going to unsubscribe the following year.

2. Cost of website hosting

If you have a website you will necessarily need a Hosting service, in short it is a computer (A SERVER) connected to the internet 24 hours a day where your website is hosted.

Generally it can have an annual cost of about 45 euros in the case of a small website up to 2.000 or 3.000 thousand euros per month in the case of large websites.

Don't be scared, generally in most cases it is conceivable that the annual hosting cost for your website is about 150 euros maximum, if you have a dynamic website, otherwise half if your website is on html (static).

3. Website maintenance cost and website administration cost

In addition to the cost of the domain and web hosting, you can find the website maintenance costs, this is obviously if you are not personally the one who performs the maintenance in that case there will be no other costs your website .

A static website has very little maintenance so you can also do without paying an annual amount to a technician who is in charge of this aspect, but if you have, as in the vast majority, a dynamic website you should consider sign a web maintenance contract.

The technician or webmaster will be in charge of maintenance and security of the site to avoid having unpleasant general operating problems or hacker attacks, in essence the technician will ensure that you NEVER have problems.

The cost also varies in each case and on each platform, generally the minimum amount required is 60 euros per month but I repeat it is difficult to give a correct figure without having evaluated the situation and size of the website in question, so it is very , very difficult to indicate a fair price.

Website administration cost, The term administration cost opens up a world for us. One world because managing a website must first be limited to what actions should be included in the cost of managing the website. As an indication, the cost of publication and small improvements can be counted among the additional costs, so at least here with us it is 30 euros/hour. But this is just one way of trying to answer the question because the exact answer to website management cost is: IT DEPENDS!

It depends on the client, the agency they hire or the freelancer we are going to contact. It is not possible in any way to correctly define the cost of administration of a website. At Indianwebs we offer our clients minimum web maintenance packages of 300 Euros / Year in a twelve-month subscription. although it always depends on the type of platform used and above all on the related services that are added.

4. Cost of website visibility per year

Visibility has variable costs and therefore I cannot indicate a figure , but I want to explain in broad strokes if you have signed a contract what you have purchased.

The variants are generally 2, if you have hired a SEO or some Google ADS Campaigns Search or Display, I will briefly explain what it is about to at least understand what you have paid or what you will pay in the end.

SEO Positioning : This is an activity aimed at increasing traffic to your website organically, through some activities such as optimizing your website (On-site SEO) and reporting your website to high-authority portals (Link Building). Bringing your website to the first page of search engines will increase visitors and, proportionally, contact requests or sales of your product on the Internet.
Campaigns of Google Ads : This type of activity causes ads to appear at the top of search engine searches or in the form of banners intended to increase traffic to your website. It is scheduled through a daily budget and self-regulated through an auction system that always gives priority to the highest bid. Basically there are two types of strong campaigns:
- Search: is when someone clicks on your ad, you only pay per click they make
- Display: You pay for the user's viewing of the ad or per click, here you can choose.

Obviously this type of activity is counted and mentioned if you have purchased it, otherwise you will not pay for it in any case.
