What does cloud hosting cost per month in India?
At WebJi®, a managed cloud server costs ₹5,900, ₹7,900 or ₹11,900 a month before 18% GST, depending on whether you need 2, 4 or 8 vCPU. These are flat monthly prices in INR, not an hourly meter and not a first-month coupon, read from the live price list on 4 November 2026.
| Plan | vCPU / RAM / storage | Before GST | With 18% GST |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cloud Entry | 2 vCPU · 8 GB · 100 GB | ₹5,900 | ₹6,962 |
| Cloud Business | 4 vCPU · 16 GB · 250 GB | ₹7,900 | ₹9,322 |
| Cloud Pro | 8 vCPU · 32 GB · 500 GB | ₹11,900 | ₹14,042 |
The GST column is the monthly price × 1.18; a GST-registered business can usually claim that tax back as input credit if its GSTIN is on the invoice. All three are ordered from managed cloud hosting, with Windows Server images and a Plesk add-on available at order.
How much does a year of cloud hosting cost?
Twelve months of WebJi® cloud hosting costs ₹70,800, ₹94,800 or ₹1,42,800 before GST. The list does not print a separate yearly discount for these servers, so the annual figure is simply the monthly price × 12.
| Plan | 12 months before GST | 12 months with GST | Per GB RAM per month | Per vCPU per month |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cloud Entry | ₹70,800 | ₹83,544 | ₹737.50 | ₹2,950 |
| Cloud Business | ₹94,800 | ₹1,11,864 | ₹493.75 | ₹1,975 |
| Cloud Pro | ₹1,42,800 | ₹1,68,504 | ₹371.88 | ₹1,488 |
The last two columns divide the monthly price by RAM and vCPU. They show the pattern buyers miss: Cloud Business costs ₹2,000 more than Entry but doubles both, so the unit cost falls by a third. If a workload sits right at the edge of Entry, the next tier is often the better value.
Which cloud plan fits a small site, an app or a heavy workload?
A small site should not buy a cloud server at all; an app that needs its own resources starts at Cloud Entry, and only databases or multi-service stacks need Business or Pro. Size from a normal week's CPU and RAM, not from a launch-day spike.
| Workload | Sensible plan | Monthly price |
|---|---|---|
| Brochure site, blog, single WordPress site | Shared hosting (Launch / Turbo / Scale) | ₹299 / ₹399 / ₹699 |
| Developer project, small API, staging box | KVM VPS | From ₹499 |
| Business app, WooCommerce store, ERP for a small team | Cloud Entry | ₹5,900 |
| Busier store or app with a separate database | Cloud Business | ₹7,900 |
| Heavy database, several services, many concurrent users | Cloud Pro | ₹11,900 |
If you are unsure how much memory the application needs, how much RAM a VPS needs gives sizing rules that apply equally to cloud servers.
Which charges sit outside the monthly cloud price?
GST at 18% is always added on the invoice, and add-ons such as a Plesk licence, Windows licensing, extra disk and custom administration are priced at order rather than included in the three monthly figures. Nothing on the list is a hidden second price; each extra is confirmed before you pay.
- Plesk add-on: available and priced at order; compare panels in cPanel vs Plesk.
- Windows Server: 2019, 2022 and 2025 images are offered; confirm any licence line on the order.
- Storage beyond 500 GB: not published; a larger disk is quoted by email before payment.
- Bandwidth: not printed as a column, so confirm the transfer allowance on the order.
- Backups and snapshots: not itemised on the rows; ask whether they are included or need a backup plan.
Moving an existing site is not a discount on the month. Free migration is subject to terms and approval, and migrating a website to cloud hosting explains the steps.
Why do other cloud hosting prices in India look so different?
Advertised "cloud" prices in India range from about ₹500 to well above ₹10,000 a month because the word covers very different products: shared accounts, small hourly instances and whole managed servers. Compare vCPU, RAM, disk, management and tax, not the label.
| Offer | Price | What it actually is |
|---|---|---|
| Square Brothers "Vantage Cloud" (30 Oct 2026) | ₹500 a month | A shared account: 2 cores, 3 GB RAM, up to 500 websites |
| AceCloud 1 vCPU / 4 GB instance (30 Oct 2026) | ₹1,349 a month or ₹2.31 an hour | A small public-cloud instance; storage, backups and snapshots can cost extra |
| WebJi® Cloud Entry (4 Nov 2026) | ₹5,900 a month | Managed server: 2 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 100 GB storage |
A ₹500 "cloud" plan is shared hosting with a different name, and it is the right comparison for WebJi® shared plans, not for a cloud server. A 1 vCPU, 4 GB instance is a quarter of Cloud Entry's CPU and half its RAM, and it comes unmanaged. Cloud vs web hosting explains where the line between the two products sits.
Is hourly cloud billing cheaper than a flat month?
Hourly billing is cheaper only when the server is switched off for a large part of the month; for a server that runs all the time, a flat monthly price usually costs less. The arithmetic on AceCloud's own published figures shows the break-even point.
At ₹2.31 an hour, a full 730-hour month costs about ₹1,686 (₹2.31 × 730), against ₹1,349 on that provider's monthly rate. The two meet at about 584 hours (₹1,349 ÷ ₹2.31), roughly 24 days. A build server or test box that runs a few hours a day suits hourly billing; a website, database or ERP that must stay up suits a monthly server, which is how WebJi® cloud lines are billed.
How do INR and USD cloud bills compare?
Compare the same compute, storage, outbound transfer, backups and support over a year. A USD invoice can also vary with the conversion rate and card issuer's foreign-currency markup; some large providers bill Indian customers in INR, so check the actual invoice and billing entity.
| Cost element | Metered cloud quote | Fixed INR plan |
|---|---|---|
| Compute | May be billed by usage | Monthly tier price |
| Outbound data (egress) | Often charged per GB beyond any allowance | Confirm the transfer allowance and overage terms |
| Currency and card charges | For USD bills, conversion and issuer markup can change the INR total | No foreign-currency conversion for an INR invoice |
| Tax | Depends on the billing entity and buyer's circumstances | Check GST on the invoice |
| Other costs | Check backups, snapshots, public IPs and support | Check which extras are included or quoted separately |
For AWS or Google Cloud, check the current region-specific pricing, free allowances and outbound destination for your own workload rather than assuming a single egress rate. Set billing alerts for metered resources and check whether cross-region backups add transfer charges. Tax treatment can vary; consult your accountant about foreign invoices and any reverse-charge obligations.
How can you cut cloud hosting cost without undersizing?
Measure a normal week, buy the tier that fits it with about 30% headroom, and keep anything that can share a server off the cloud bill. Most overspending comes from buying for a peak that happens twice a year.
- Record peak CPU, RAM and disk use over seven ordinary days on the current host.
- Move static brochure sites and email to shared hosting or a mailbox plan, and keep only the application on the cloud server.
- Add caching (object cache, page cache, CDN) before buying more vCPU.
- Review usage after three months; moving from Business to Entry saves ₹2,000 a month (₹24,000 a year) before GST.

Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest cloud server at WebJi®?
Cloud Entry at ₹5,900 a month before 18% GST, or ₹6,962 with tax. It provides 2 vCPU, 8 GB RAM and 100 GB storage on a managed server. If your site does not need its own server, shared hosting starts at ₹299 a month.
Is there an unmanaged, cheaper version of the same cloud plans?
No. The price list sells these lines as managed cloud servers and has no unmanaged twin at a lower price. If you want root access on a cheaper virtual machine and will manage it yourself, a KVM VPS from ₹499 a month is the closer fit.
Can I get 2 TB of storage on a cloud server?
Not on a published line; the largest listed disk is 500 GB on Cloud Pro at ₹11,900 a month. Larger disks are quoted by email before payment, and for files rather than databases, object storage is usually the cheaper place to keep them.
Does the cloud price change at renewal?
The renewal figure is confirmed before you pay, and WebJi® renews at the list price you signed up on rather than an introductory rate. Check the order summary for the exact renewal line before checkout.
Is free cloud hosting available in India?
Not from WebJi®; there is no ₹0 cloud server. Free tiers from large providers are usually time-limited or very small instances meant for testing. A small live site is cheaper and simpler on shared hosting from ₹299 a month.
