BigRock vs HostingRaja: Which to Choose
Choose BigRock if you want a cPanel plan with a published price and renewal: ₹139 a month for the first year, then ₹199 a month, as read on 4 November 2026. Choose HostingRaja if LiteSpeed and unlimited disk matter more than a listed rate, which its own page did not show. WebJi® is neither company.

Verdict: BigRock for a printed rate, HostingRaja for LiteSpeed
Choose BigRock if you want a cPanel plan with a price and a renewal printed on the provider's own page. Choose HostingRaja if a LiteSpeed web server and an unlimited-disk claim matter more to you than a published rate. WebJi is neither company, and this page is not their support desk.
BigRock's Linux offer page was read on 4 November 2026 and showed ₹139/month for a one-year Standard purchase,[1] then ₹199/month after that. HostingRaja's cPanel page was read the same day and carried no per-plan rupee figure we could tie to a term. That gap is the honest shape of this comparison.
- BigRock: a published cPanel price with a stated renewal, and 20 GB NVMe SSD on Standard.
- HostingRaja: LiteSpeed on cPanel and an unlimited-disk claim, with no readable plan rate that day.
- Both: a 30-day money-back window on shared hosting, and free SSL.
BigRock prices read on 4 November 2026
BigRock's Standard cPanel plan was listed at ₹139/month for one year, renewing at ₹199/month. Both rows come from the Linux hosting offer page (https://www.bigrock.in/linux-web-hosting-offer) on bigrock.in, read on 4 November 2026.[1] These are the prices the page printed, before any tax line at checkout.
| Plan | Term | Price on the page | What follows |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard, Linux with cPanel | 1 year | ₹139/month, ₹1,668 for the year | ₹199/month, ₹2,388 for the next year |
| Standard, Linux with cPanel | 2 years | ₹39/month effective in year one, ₹2,856 paid up front | ₹199/month from year three |
The ₹39 is an effective monthly rate for the first year of a two-year purchase, not a monthly bill. The page states that in its own footnote, and the renewal row is where the real comparison sits. Domain prices are on a separate list with their own renewals.
What HostingRaja's own pages showed
HostingRaja's own cPanel page described LiteSpeed and unlimited disk but showed no plan price tied to a term. The cPanel hosting page (https://www.hostingraja.in/hosting/cpanel-hosting/) on hostingraja.in was read on 4 November 2026.[2] It describes cPanel with LiteSpeed, unlimited disk on cPanel accounts, free SSL and a 30-day money-back badge. No rupee amount appeared beside a plan name and term, so none is printed here.
The nearest number was on a third-party comparison: WHTop (https://www.whtop.com/compare/bigrock.in,hostingraja.in) lists a HostingRaja Starter Linux plan at ₹45/month and dates that plan entry to February 2020.[3] A 2020 listing is history, not a rate you can pay today. Take the current figure from their checkout instead, and write down the term it requires.
Specs side by side
Both run cPanel with free SSL; they differ on web server, disk and how backup is sold. Every cell below is something one of the two pages states. A blank cell means that page did not say, not that the feature is missing.
| Item | BigRock Standard | HostingRaja cPanel |
|---|---|---|
| Control panel | cPanel | cPanel |
| Web server | Not stated on the offer page | LiteSpeed, stated on its cPanel page |
| Disk | 20 GB NVMe SSD | Unlimited disk claimed for cPanel accounts |
| Monthly transfer | 200 GB | Not stated in page text |
| SSL | Free SSL | Free SSL |
| Backup | CodeGuard, sold as an add-on | Acronis backup, listed as a separate service |
| Included, 10 GB per mailbox limit | Included with the cPanel account | |
| Money-back | 30 days, excludes one-month purchases | 30-day badge on the cPanel page |
| Server location | India or US chosen at order | India, per its cPanel page |
Two rows decide more migrations than the price does. LiteSpeed serves cached pages faster on a busy WordPress site. cPanel on both sides means the same File Manager and the same database tools when you leave, which is the part that saves a weekend.
What neither invoice shows
Neither headline rate includes the domain renewal, GST or backup, which together often decide the real yearly cost. The domain is a separate line, with its own renewal, and GST is added at checkout on an Indian invoice. If a domain came free with a multi-year hosting purchase, it renews at the registrar's rate once that term ends.
- Backup is an add-on at BigRock and a separate service at HostingRaja. Budget for it before you compare totals.
- Mailbox storage is capped even on an unlimited plan; BigRock states 10 GB per mailbox.
- A two-year prepayment locks the rate you pay now, not the renewal price after it.
Leaving either account
Both panels are cPanel, so leaving either works the same way: download a full backup from File Manager or Backup, export each MySQL database from phpMyAdmin, and copy the mail accounts. Restore on the new host, test with a hosts-file entry, then change DNS last. Keep the old account paid until mail arrives at the new one.
The step-by-step checklists are moving a site off BigRock and moving a site off HostingRaja. Neither company's support phone or email is published on this page.
How WebJi® compares, and what it is not
WebJi® is a separate Jaipur host, in business since 2005 and not affiliated with BigRock or HostingRaja; its own cPanel plan is ₹297 a month before 18% GST. WebJi® billing, read on 14 November 2026, lists cPanel hosting with 20 GB disk, 200 GB monthly bandwidth, 10 email accounts and one domain. The shared hosting plans (Webji Launch ₹299, Turbo ₹399, Scale ₹699 a month) run WebJi®'s own ControlPanel.Systems panel instead of cPanel.
₹297 is higher than BigRock's ₹199 renewal, and that is worth saying plainly: if the lowest monthly rate is your only criterion, BigRock wins on the numbers printed here. Moving between two cPanel hosts is the easiest migration there is, covered in cPanel-to-cPanel migration. If you want a Jaipur team answering email in under an hour and a cPanel account you can copy without a ticket queue, ask us for a quote.

Frequently asked questions
Is HostingRaja cheaper than BigRock?
What does BigRock charge after the first term?
₹199/month, or ₹2,388 for a year, on the Standard Linux plan read on 4 November 2026. The ₹139 and ₹39 rates apply only to the term you buy first.
Is the ₹39 per month a monthly bill?
No. It is the effective first-year rate of a two-year purchase paid up front at ₹2,856. Spread over 24 months that is about ₹119/month, against a ₹199/month renewal.
Do both companies use cPanel?
Yes. BigRock's Standard plan lists cPanel, and HostingRaja's cPanel page is built around the same panel with LiteSpeed underneath. File Manager and phpMyAdmin work the same way on both.
Is WebJi one of these two brands?
No. WebJi® is a separate host in Jaipur, in business since 2005. Its cPanel plan is ₹297/month before 18% GST, which is higher than BigRock's ₹199 renewal, and this page does not claim otherwise.
Can I compare the two without contacting either company?
For BigRock, yes; its rates are public. For HostingRaja you need a checkout total, because no plan rate was readable on its page. Note the term, the renewal and the tax line. Neither company's support contacts are listed here.
