Website maintenance and hosting services in Mumbai

Social Dealers provides website maintenance and hosting services in Mumbai for the sites we build and the ones you already have. A website is never really finished. It needs hosting, renewals, updates and someone keeping an eye on security. We take that off your plate, from our studio in Andheri West, where we have been building and looking after websites since 2012.

We also run our own hosting and billing portal, so servers, renewals and support are part of our everyday work, not something we think about only when a client calls.

What is included

A care plan with us covers the practical jobs that keep a business website online, safe and up to date:

• Managed hosting with SSL certificates, with HTTPS enforced on every site
• Domain registration and DNS management, including renewals and record changes
• Regular backups with tested restores, so a backup is known to work before you need it
• Core, plugin and framework updates for WordPress and Laravel sites
• Security hardening and malware scanning
• Uptime monitoring, so we hear about problems early
• Small content changes on request, such as text, images and contact details

First year included with website builds

Every website project includes the first year of domain and hosting. After that, hosting and domains renew annually. We send a reminder well before renewal, and you can manage your services and invoices through our hosting portal.

Who it is for

• Businesses whose website we designed and built
• Owners with a WordPress site that has not been updated in a while
• Companies whose previous developer or agency has moved on
• Teams running a Laravel application or booking platform that needs careful releases
• Anyone who wants one point of contact for domain, hosting, SSL and changes

Sites in our care include corporate, education and booking websites such as Solvit India, Solvit Global, Aurixora and Buonafortuna. We look after businesses in Mumbai and across India.

How it works

1. Audit. For a site we did not build, we start with a read-only check of the hosting, domain, DNS, SSL, CMS version, plugins, backups and admin accounts.
2. Plan. We agree what we will look after as standard and what counts as a change request, and we flag anything urgent we found in the audit.
3. Migration, if you are moving. We take a full backup, set the site up on our hosting, test it privately, then switch the DNS and check pages, forms and email links. The aim is a move without losing content.
4. Ongoing care. Updates, backups, monitoring and security scans carry on in the background.
5. Changes. You send a request, we make the change in development, take a fresh backup and release it to the live site.

Security as a habit

Most hacked business websites are not targeted. They are found by automated scans looking for old software and weak passwords. Our standard checklist closes those doors:

• SSL on every site and HTTPS enforced
• PHP execution blocked in upload folders
• Regular updates to WordPress, plugins and frameworks
• Malware scanning and two-factor authentication on admin accounts
• Full backups before any change to a live site

If something does go wrong, we work from a clean backup, find how the problem got in and close it, rather than simply deleting the files that look suspicious.

Backups you can actually restore

A backup that has never been restored is a hope, not a plan. We keep regular backups of files and databases, test that they restore, and take a fresh full backup before any change to a live site. If an update or an edit causes trouble, we can roll back to a known good copy.

Updates and careful releases

We never auto-deploy to live sites. Changes go from development to a private repository and then to the server through an explicit, reviewed release, with a fresh backup taken first. It is slower than pushing straight to production, and that is exactly the point. The same applies to WordPress core and plugin updates: they are applied deliberately, checked, and reversible.

You own your domain, content and code

Looking after your website does not mean holding it hostage. The domain, the content and the code belong to you. If you ever decide to move elsewhere, we hand over access, files and the database so the next team can carry on. Knowing you can leave is one of the better reasons to stay.

What affects the cost

We do not publish a price list, because two websites rarely need the same care. The main factors are:

• The type of site: a WordPress brochure site, a WooCommerce store or a custom Laravel application
• The size of the site and the traffic it handles
• How many plugins, integrations and admin users there are
• The state of the site today, and whether it needs a clean-up or security fix first
• Whether a migration from another host is needed
• How many domains you hold and how often you expect content changes

Hosting and care pair naturally with our build work. If your current site is due for a rebuild, see website design and development, or read about the stages of a website project. Online stores are covered under ecommerce development, and booking platforms and portals under web applications. A well-maintained, fast site also gives SEO a better base to work from.
