Prices checked 15 Oct 2026 on official provider websites. All hosts listed include a free SSL certificate. Scores are our editorial ratings. ₹ prices exclude 18% GST; see how we show prices. Prices change often and vary by billing term — always confirm on the provider’s website.
Intro Price vs Renewal Price
The advertised price only lasts for your first term. Here is what each host charges per month when the plan renews.
HostyCareHostingerMilesWebHostGatorBigRockHosting.comGoDaddyHostingRajaBluehostMochaHostAll prices per month, excluding 18% GST. Promotional intro prices apply to the first billing term only.
How we show prices
- Official INR first. We use the price shown in Indian Rupees on the provider's official India website or checkout.
- Provider-converted INR. If the provider's own site converts its USD price into INR, we use that figure and label it.
- Converted fallback. If no INR price exists, we convert the official USD price at the market rate of ₹95.25 = $1 (open.er-api.com, 15 Oct 2026), round to the nearest rupee and mark it with ≈.
Price types: the starting price is the provider's promotional price for the first billing term shown (billed upfront); the renewal price is the monthly rate after that term. Prices were checked on 15 Oct 2026 on each provider's official website; each review shows where its price came from. Prices exclude 18% GST.
💡 Lock in a longer term
Intro discounts are biggest on 24–48 month terms, so you stay on the low price for longer.
🔁 Watch the renewal
A ₹69 plan that renews at ₹399 can cost more over 3 years than a ₹149 plan that renews at ₹199.
🧾 Count the add-ons
Domains, email, backups and SSL may be free on one host and paid on another.

Hosting Comparison FAQ
Are these monthly, annual or promotional prices?
Every price is shown per month in Indian Rupees (₹), excluding 18% GST. The starting price is the provider's promotional price for the first billing term shown (for example 36 or 48 months, usually paid upfront). The renewal price is what you pay per month after that term. Each price shows its source and the date we checked it.
How do you handle hosts that don't sell in Indian Rupees?
We always use the provider's official INR price when its India site or checkout shows one. If the provider's own site converts its USD price into INR (as MochaHost does), we use that figure and label it 'provider-converted'. If a host shows no INR price at all, we convert the official USD price at the day's market rate (₹95.25 = $1 from open.er-api.com, 15 Oct 2026), round to the nearest rupee, mark it with '≈' and show the original USD price. Your bank may charge foreign-exchange fees on USD purchases.
Which hosts include cPanel?
GoDaddy, HostGator, BigRock and HostyCare include cPanel on their entry plans. Hostinger (hPanel), Hosting.com, Bluehost, MilesWeb (mPanel) and HostingRaja use their own control panels.
Do these hosts offer a money-back guarantee?
Yes. All ten hosts we compare offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on their entry plans. Conditions vary (for example, domain fees are often non-refundable), so check each provider's terms before buying.
Which is the cheapest hosting in India?
HostyCare's Basic plan starts at ₹59/mo on a 36-month term and, according to HostyCare, renews at the same price. Hostinger, MilesWeb, BigRock and HostGator start at ₹69/mo on long terms but renew higher. Always compare renewal prices before buying.
