BigdomainhostThis guide is written and published by Bigdomainhost, an Indian hosting provider founded in 2024, and Bigdomainhost is one of the hosts compared. We have tried to be fair: competitor details come only from each company's official plan page, checked on 12 November 2026, with links so you can verify them, and we say where other hosts are the better choice. Bigdomainhost (bigdomainhost.com) has no connection with Big Domain Host LLC, a separate US company that uses bigdomainhost.net.
The short answer
There is no single best web hosting company in India for everyone. In short: for the lowest advertised price among the other hosts, DomainRacer, then Hostinger and BigRock; for cPanel on servers in India, MilesWeb, BigRock, DomainRacer, HostingRaja and Bigdomainhost (which wrote this guide and renews every plan at the same price); for several sites on one cheap plan, Bluehost; and for size and track record, Hostinger, GoDaddy, Bluehost and BigRock. The detail, from the official plan pages we checked on 12 November 2026:
- Lowest advertised price among the other hosts we checked: DomainRacer BASIC (₹58/mo on a 3-year term), then Hostinger Single and BigRock STANDARD (both ₹69/mo). Check the renewal: Hostinger shows ₹289/mo and BigRock ₹409/mo.
- cPanel on servers in India: MilesWeb, BigRock, DomainRacer, HostingRaja and Bigdomainhost. Hostinger uses its own hPanel, GoDaddy its own control panel and Bluehost its own dashboard.
- A free domain with the entry plan: Hostinger Single (the plan card lists a free domain), MilesWeb Single (1 year) and Bluehost Starter (first year).
- Several sites on the cheapest plan: Bluehost Starter allows 10 websites; most other entry plans allow one.
- A price that does not jump at renewal: Bigdomainhost renews every plan at the same rate, with Web & cPanel hosting from ₹49 (US$0.56)/mo, WordPress hosting from ₹149 (US$1.69)/mo and reseller hosting from ₹499 (US$5.67)/mo, each on a 3-year term paid upfront, plus GST (shorter terms, including monthly billing, cost more per month). Of the other entry plans we checked, every one that showed a renewal price renews higher.
- Scale and track record: Hostinger, GoDaddy, Bluehost and BigRock are far larger and older than Bigdomainhost, which serves from two locations, Mumbai and Delhi.
How to choose web hosting in India: a checklist
- Intro price versus renewal price. The headline figure is usually a per-month rate on the longest term, paid upfront, and the renewal is often several times higher. Hostinger Single is ₹69/mo on a 48-month plan (₹3,312 paid today) and renews at ₹289/mo; BigRock STANDARD is ₹69/mo and renews at ₹409/mo. Work out what you will pay over three or four years, not just in the first month.
- Servers in India. If your visitors are in India, a server in India answers them faster. Look for a host that says plainly that its servers are in India, ideally naming the city. You can measure it yourself with our latency test.
- cPanel or a custom panel. cPanel is the panel most Indian developers already know, and moving a cPanel account between hosts is routine. Custom panels such as hPanel can be perfectly good, but switching away later takes more work. More in What is cPanel, and do you need it?
- Backups. Check how often they run, how long they are kept and whether you can restore them yourself. Of the entry plans we checked, Hostinger and Bluehost list weekly backups; MilesWeb lists daily ones, and BigRock lists daily backups with an asterisk (its FAQ describes weekly backups and a paid backup add-on).
- Websites and storage per plan. Most entry plans host one website. Storage ranged from 1 GB (DomainRacer BASIC) to 20 GB (BigRock STANDARD) on the plans we checked.
- Support. Hours, telephone, language and who actually answers. The simplest test is to ask a pre-sales question late at night and see what comes back.
- GST and refunds. Hosting prices in India are usually quoted before 18% GST (see GST on web hosting). Money-back terms differ too: Hostinger, MilesWeb, GoDaddy and Bluehost state 30 days, BigRock states 30 days but not on 1-month purchases, and Bigdomainhost offers 7 days.
Entry shared hosting plans compared
Every figure below was read from the provider's official page on 12 November 2026. Prices change often and are usually promotional, so follow the source link before you buy. Where we could not confirm a price or its billing term, we have left it out.

Notes. Hostinger's page says its prices are listed without GST, and MilesWeb's checkout lines say “+ GST”; the other plan cards showed no GST note. HostGator India's shared hosting page now redirects to BigRock with the message that the two have joined forces, so HostGator India is not listed separately. hostinger.in and bluehost.in redirect to the hostinger.com/in and bluehost.com/in pages linked above.
Who each host is best for
Hostinger India
Best if you want a large international company at a low long-term price and do not mind leaving cPanel behind. The Single plan includes free weekly backups and a CDN, its plan card lists a free domain and a free mailbox, and Hostinger lists India among its server locations for web hosting. The catch is the jump from ₹69/mo to ₹289/mo at renewal.
MilesWeb
Best if you want cPanel on an Indian server with a free domain for the first year. The Single plan lists daily backups, LiteSpeed and 10 GB of NVMe, and renews at ₹249/mo on the 36-month term. MilesWeb describes itself as an Indian company operating since 2012. It allows one email account on the entry plan, fewer than BigRock or DomainRacer.
BigRock
Best if you want the most storage on an entry plan and a choice between Indian and US servers. STANDARD lists 20 GB of NVMe, 10 email accounts, unlimited databases and cPanel. HostGator India customers now land here too. Budget for the renewal at ₹409/mo, and note the plan card does not state the billing term behind the ₹69/mo price.
GoDaddy India
Best if you already manage domains and other services at GoDaddy and want them in one account, and like Hostinger, MilesWeb, Bluehost and BigRock it offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. Its web hosting page lists data centres in North America and Europe rather than India, and its plans use the GoDaddy Control Panel rather than cPanel. The Starter card does not list a free domain or email; the Economy plan adds them (the page header advertises free SSL for all sites).
Bluehost India
Best if you want several sites on one cheap plan: Starter allows 10 websites, with a free domain for the first year and free SSL. It is also the most expensive entry price here at ₹199/mo, renewing at ₹349/mo, and the page does not say whether any servers are in India.
DomainRacer
Best for a single small site at the lowest advertised price among the other hosts we checked, with cPanel and LiteSpeed, and India among its server locations. The trade-off is room: BASIC lists 1 GB of NVMe and 5 GB of bandwidth, so it suits a brochure site rather than a growing blog or shop.
HostingRaja
Worth a look if you want cPanel and servers in India with generous storage: its cPanel cards advertise unlimited NVMe disk and 2 GB of RAM. We have not quoted a price for it, so confirm the exact amount and billing term at checkout.
Bigdomainhost
Best if you want cPanel on servers in Mumbai or Delhi, a renewal price that stays the same, free migration done for you and a telephone that is answered 24×7. It is a small, young company: founded in 2024, two locations, and its entry plan has less storage than most entry plans above and no free domain. Details in the next section.
Bigdomainhost: what we offer, and where others are better
Every Bigdomainhost hosting plan includes cPanel, free Let's Encrypt SSL, free migration and LiteSpeed, on servers in Mumbai and Delhi. Web & cPanel and WordPress plans add Imunify360 security and 30 days of daily backups you can restore yourself; reseller plans keep 7 days of JetBackup restore points for each cPanel account. Prices exclude 18% GST and renew at the same rate.
| Price | Entry plan | Good for | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Web & cPanel hosting | From ₹49 (US$0.56)/mo | Arsenic: 1 domain, 5 GB, 3 databases, 30 days of backups | Business sites, blogs, small PHP apps |
| WordPress hosting | From ₹149 (US$1.69)/mo | WordPress Starter: 1 domain, 10 GB NVMe, LSCache configured | WordPress and WooCommerce sites |
| Reseller hosting | From ₹499 (US$5.67)/mo | Reseller Starter: 25 cPanel accounts, 30 GB NVMe, WHM | Agencies and freelancers hosting client sites |
Where other hosts are the better pick:
- Size and history. Hostinger, GoDaddy, Bluehost and BigRock are much larger and have operated far longer. Bigdomainhost was founded in 2024.
- Locations. We serve from Mumbai and Delhi only. If your audience is mainly outside India, a host with data centres near them will serve them better.
- Entry-plan storage. Arsenic has 5 GB of standard storage; NVMe starts on the next plan up. Hostinger, MilesWeb, GoDaddy and Bluehost list 10 GB and BigRock 20 GB on their entry plans.
- Domains. We do not sell domains and include no free domain, while Hostinger, MilesWeb and Bluehost include one with the entry plan.
- Refund window. Our money-back guarantee is 7 days; Hostinger, MilesWeb, GoDaddy, Bluehost and BigRock (on terms longer than one month) all state 30 days.
WordPress hosting in India: what to compare
For this edition we verified entry shared plans only, so we do not quote other hosts' WordPress prices. What matters on any WordPress plan:
- Server-level caching. LiteSpeed with LSCache, or an equivalent full-page cache, does more for speed than any theme.
- Servers in India for Indian visitors, for the same latency reason as above.
- Staging, backups and updates that you can run yourself, without a ticket.
- Enough PHP workers and RAM for WooCommerce, because cart and checkout pages cannot be cached.
Bigdomainhost WordPress hosting starts from ₹149 (US$1.69)/mo, with WordPress pre-installed, LSCache configured and one-click staging from the Advanced plan up. For tuning, read WordPress speed optimization for an Indian audience.
Reseller hosting in India: what to compare
Again we have not quoted other hosts' reseller prices. When you compare reseller plans, check:
- How many cPanel accounts you can create, and the storage behind them.
- White-labelling: private nameservers on your own domain and a cPanel branded with your logo.
- Billing integration with WHMCS, Blesta or HostBill for automatic sign-ups.
- Per-account backups your clients can be restored from without waiting on the host.
- Who your clients see when something breaks at 2am: you, with the host behind you, or the host's own brand.
Bigdomainhost reseller hosting starts from ₹499 (US$5.67)/mo with full WHM, free private nameservers, white-label cPanel and free client migrations.
Switching hosts
Whichever host you choose, moving should not take your site offline: copy everything first, test, then change DNS and keep the old account for a week. The full checklist is in How to migrate a website to a new host without downtime. Bigdomainhost does the migration for free if you move to us. If you need a new site rather than a new host, see our website design and development service.

How we checked
On 12 November 2026 we opened each provider's official Indian web hosting page and recorded the entry plan, the advertised price and its billing term, any renewal price, the control panel, the stated server locations and the plan's headline limits. We did not use review sites or affiliate listings. Bigdomainhost prices on this page are pulled from our live billing system. If you work for one of these companies and something here is wrong or out of date, write to support@bigdomainhost.com and we will correct it.
