Why preventive maintenance is cheaper than emergency repairs

January 9, 2026 · 5 min read

Imagine: It's Friday at 6 PM, you have an important meeting on Monday, and your website disappears. It doesn't respond, it doesn't load, and your clients can't access it. What do you do?

This situation is more common than you think. According to UptimeRobot data, more than 30% of websites experience at least one significant downtime each year. And when this happens, the cost isn't just lost sales: it's the time you spend looking for an emergency solution, the damage to your reputation, and above all, the stress.

The real cost of emergency repairs

When your website goes down on a Friday afternoon, you don't just lose sales. You lose:

How automated preventive maintenance works

Preventive maintenance isn't just "making backups". It's a system that works 24/7 to detect problems before they become emergencies:

1. Continuous monitoring (Pro Plan)

Automated systems check every 5 minutes if your website responds. If they detect a problem, they receive an immediate alert and act before you even notice. Available in the Pro Plan (€39/month).

2. Daily automatic backups

Every night, the system makes a complete copy of your website and database. If something fails, you can restore in less than an hour to the exact point before the problem.

3. Security updates

Security updates are applied automatically after being tested. This saves you from vulnerabilities that could be exploited by hackers.

Cost comparison

❌ Without preventive maintenance:

  • Emergency repair: €300 - €800
  • Lost sales: Variable (can be hundreds of euros)
  • Reputation damage: Incalculable
  • Total per incident: €500 - €1,500+

✅ With preventive maintenance (from €19/month):

  • Basic Plan (€19/month): Automatic backups + maintenance
  • Pro Plan (€39/month): Everything above + 24/7 monitoring + alerts
  • Annual cost Basic: €228 | Annual cost Pro: €468
  • Automatic protection: Included in both plans
  • Potential savings: €272 - €1,272 per year

Conclusion: The investment that pays for itself
