Hosting gets chosen in five minutes by whoever is cheapest, then silently determines your site's speed, uptime and security for years. It deserves slightly more thought than that.

The domain

₹700 to ₹1,200 a year for a .com, often less for a .in. The price is not the point — registration in your own name, with your own email and payment method, is. Businesses that let an agency register the domain discover the problem only when the relationship ends and the asset will not move with them.

Enable auto-renew, turn on privacy protection, and keep the registrar login somewhere your business can find it without you.

Hosting bands

₹200 to ₹500 per month — shared

Fine for a brochure site with modest traffic. You share a server, so a busy neighbour can slow you down. Pick a provider with servers in India or Singapore for lower latency to Indian visitors.

₹700 to ₹2,500 per month — cloud or VPS

The right default for anything commercial: online stores, booking systems, sites running campaigns. Dedicated resources, and headroom for a festive rush.

₹1,500 to ₹4,000 per month — managed WordPress

Includes updates, backups, caching and security. For a business with no technical staff this usually works out cheaper than shared hosting plus one emergency cleanup.

What to compare, beyond price

  • Server location and measured response time from India
  • Free SSL, included and auto-renewing
  • Daily off-site backups with self-service restore
  • Real support with a stated response time — test it before committing
  • Honest renewal pricing: the first-year discount is not the price

Business email

₹100 to ₹250 per user per month for a proper hosted mailbox on your domain. Worth every rupee over the free mailbox bundled with hosting, purely for deliverability — quotes and enquiry notifications landing in spam is a silent, expensive failure. Configure SPF, DKIM and DMARC at setup.

Safe to skip

Bundled SEO tools, website builders you will not use, premium DNS you do not need, and multi-year prepayments to a provider you have not tested. Buy one year, judge the support, then commit.

A sensible setup for most businesses

Domain in your name with auto-renew. Managed or cloud hosting with servers near India. Hosted business email with authentication configured. Daily off-site backups. Total running cost is modest — and far below the cost of one bad outage.
