Web hosting prices Feedback form Home
In India, most of the companies offering Web hosting and accepting payment in Indian rupees are small companies. They are usually resellers of Web hosting companies in USA. Based on our experience , most of these companies do not offer consistent service. We have tried hosting with 5 web hosting companies in India. One particularly unscrupulous hosting company listed their contact as the owner of our website in Alexa, after taking full payment from us.
The cheapest hosting package was Rs 3000 for 200 MB Windows 2000 hosting and the most expensive package was Rs 1500 for 10 MB Linux hosting. Most Indian companies do not offer support on Sundays and usually work from 10 am to 5 pm. So if your server is down on weekends or long holidays like Diwali , you cannot do anything about it. If you are looking for cheap web hosting, it is advisable to purchase hosting directly from companies in USA. Many reputed web hosting companies offer 6000 MB web space for as little as Rs 8100 per year and 24/7 customer support. We have listed the prices and features offered by the 2 major internet portals in India - Indiatimes and Rediff . Tata Indicom (VSNL) has introduced domain registration and hosting services for Small and Medium Enterprises in March 2006.

They have listed several modes of payment like Cash on delivery (COD), Cheque collection, etc on their website. When you contact them by email, they will ask you to pay by credit card as processing time for all other modes of payment is a minimum of 15 days. For any problem, you have to contact their Hyderabad phone number , only between 10 am to 6 pm , Monday to Friday. If problems occur on weekends, no support is provided. Since Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore have the largest number of internet users in India, this is inconvenient. Since the hosting is offered on similar servers, it is likely to be reliable , but customization could be difficult.
