Hi Sudhir,
You are right about WordPress website maintenance and I learned it by burning my fingers. I strongly recommend that never take your WordPress website for granted and think that once hosted your job is done. I am so cautious these days that I have planned a weekly maintenance schedule, which I adhere to religiously.
