- A website without a maintenance plan is a security risk and a ticking time bomb.
- Here is everything you need to know about Website AMC services in Nepal.
You spent NRS 50,000 building a professional website. Now what? Without proper ongoing maintenance, that investment starts degrading immediately — through security vulnerabilities, outdated plugins, broken links, and performance degradation. A Website AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract) is your insurance policy against all of this.
What Is a Website AMC?
A Website AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract) is a service agreement where a web agency provides regular, scheduled maintenance for your website over a 12-month period for a pre-agreed annual or monthly fee.
Think of it like vehicle servicing. Your car needs regular oil changes, filter replacements, and checkups — not just repairs when something breaks. Your website is the same.
What a Good AMC Includes
Security Updates
WordPress core, plugins, themes, PHP version, and server software all receive regular security patches. Applying these promptly is critical — most website hacks exploit known vulnerabilities in outdated software. A good AMC covers:
- Monthly WordPress/plugin/theme updates
- PHP version updates
- SSL certificate monitoring and renewal
- Malware scanning
Regular Backups
A complete website backup (files + database) should be taken daily or weekly and stored off-server. Your AMC should specify backup frequency, retention period, and restoration procedure.
Performance Monitoring
Regular checks on site speed, uptime, and Core Web Vitals. If your site slows down or goes offline, you should be notified — not find out when a customer complains.
Content Updates
Most AMC plans include a monthly allocation of content update hours — changing text, uploading images, adding blog posts, updating pricing. This removes the need for developer involvement in routine content tasks.
Technical Support
Priority access to technical support for issues that arise. Defined response time SLAs — typically 4 hours for critical issues, 24 hours for standard requests.
Broken Link and Error Monitoring
Automated monitoring for 404 errors, broken internal links, and form failures. Broken links hurt SEO and user experience.

What Happens Without an AMC?
Real scenarios from Nepali businesses that skipped maintenance plans:
- A Kathmandu retail business had their WordPress site hacked through an outdated plugin. The attacker used the site to send spam emails — causing their domain to be blacklisted. Recovery cost: NRS 45,000 and two weeks downtime.
- A hotel in Pokhara lost their website completely when their hosting expired unnoticed. They had no backup. Complete rebuild cost: NRS 60,000.
- A professional services firm in Lalitpur had SSL expire. Google Chrome showed a security warning for 3 days, destroying visitor trust and dropping their traffic by 60%.
