How should you compare web hosting plans in India?
Compare hosting plans on the renewal price you will pay after the first term, in INR and before 18% GST, and only then on site count, storage, mailboxes, CPU limits, backups and support. A headline monthly price on a long prepaid term tells you very little about the second-year bill.
Indian search ads often lead with a two-digit monthly figure that only applies to a three- or four-year prepayment, followed by a much higher renewal. Put every plan you are considering into the same worksheet before choosing.
| Attribute | Question to answer | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Renewal price | What does year two cost, before GST? | It is the price you pay for the life of the site |
| Websites | How many domains can the account host? | Agencies and multi-brand owners outgrow 1-site plans |
| Storage type and size | NVMe or SATA, and how many GB? | NVMe speeds up database-driven sites |
| Email accounts | How many mailboxes on your domain? | A team of five needs at least five |
| CPU, RAM, entry processes | What stops the account under load? | These, not disk, slow a busy site |
| Inode limit | How many files may the account hold? | Caches and old mail fill it silently |
| Backups and SSL | Daily backups? Free SSL that renews itself? | Restoring a site should not be an extra purchase |
| Support | Channel, hours, languages, reply time | Decides how long an outage lasts |
How do WebJi® shared hosting plans compare with each other?
WebJi® sells three Linux shared plans — Launch at ₹299, Turbo at ₹399 and Scale at ₹699 a month before 18% GST — and the difference between them is websites, storage, mailboxes and CPU priority. All three include NVMe storage, a Global CDN, ControlPanel.Systems, free SSL and one-click WordPress deploy.
| Attribute | Webji Launch | Webji Turbo | Webji Scale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly | ₹299 | ₹399 | ₹699 |
| 1 year | ₹2,868 | ₹3,828 | ₹6,588 |
| 3 years | ₹6,804 | ₹9,324 | ₹16,164 |
| Websites | 1 | 1 | Unlimited domains |
| NVMe storage | 20 GB | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Email accounts | 10 | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| CPU | Standard | Priority resource pool | Most CPU and concurrent processes |
| Fits | Personal site, blog | Business site with a team | Agency or several sites |
Renewals are flat: year two costs the same as year one on each plan. The full plan cards sit on the shared hosting page and every product is listed on WebJi® pricing.
Is monthly, yearly or three-year hosting cheaper?
The three-year term is the cheapest per month, the one-year term saves about 20% against paying monthly, and monthly billing is best kept for testing a plan. The effective monthly figures below are each term's bill divided by its number of months.
| Plan | Monthly × 12 | 1-year bill (per month) | 3-year bill (per month) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Launch | ₹3,588 | ₹2,868 (₹239) | ₹6,804 (₹189) |
| Turbo | ₹4,788 | ₹3,828 (₹319) | ₹9,324 (₹259) |
| Scale | ₹8,388 | ₹6,588 (₹549) | ₹16,164 (₹449) |
On Turbo, the yearly bill saves ₹960 against twelve monthly payments (₹4,788 − ₹3,828). Add 18% GST to whichever figure you pick so it matches the invoice; ₹3,828 becomes ₹4,517 with tax. Hosting renewal prices explains how to spot an intro rate that jumps at renewal.
Shared, Windows, VPS or cloud: which hosting type fits your site?
Choose by what the application needs: Linux shared for PHP and WordPress sites, Windows shared for ASP.NET and MS SQL, a VPS when you need root access, and a cloud server when you need reserved vCPU and RAM. Price follows type, so pick the type first.
| Type | Starting price | Choose it when |
|---|---|---|
| Linux shared (Launch) | ₹299 a month | WordPress, PHP, a brochure or a blog |
| Windows shared (Win-SQLPro) | ₹2,300 a year | ASP.NET or MS SQL is required |
| KVM VPS | ₹499 a month | Root access, custom software, shared limits reached |
| Cloud Entry | ₹5,900 a month | 2 vCPU and 8 GB RAM reserved for one app |
Windows plans are billed yearly at ₹2,300, ₹4,200 or ₹8,400. If you are unsure which operating system your site needs, Linux vs Windows hosting settles it, and shared vs VPS hosting covers the move to root access.
What do "unlimited" hosting plans still limit?
"Unlimited" on a shared plan means disk or mailboxes are not metered the usual way; CPU, RAM, entry processes and inodes still cap every account. When a site slows or stops on an unlimited plan, one of those four is usually the reason.
- Entry processes: how many PHP requests can run at the same moment; a traffic spike hits this first.
- Inodes: one file, folder or email each. Cache folders and old mail fill the cap while the disk gauge looks empty — see what an inode is.
- CPU and RAM: a share of the server, enforced per account.
- Fair use: backups of other servers or file sharing are usually excluded.
Ask any host for these four numbers in writing before treating unlimited as infinite.
What should you confirm before paying for a hosting plan?
Before paying, confirm the renewal price, the GST total, the backup policy, the migration terms and how support is reached. These five points decide the real cost and the real risk more than any feature list.
- Read the renewal line on the order summary, not the crossed-out first-term price.
- Add 18% GST and enter your GSTIN if you want input credit on the invoice.
- Check that daily backups and free SSL are included, not sold as add-ons.
- Ask whether migration is included; at WebJi® it is free subject to terms and approval.
- Note the support route: support@webji.services, 24/7, in Hindi and English, with an average first reply under 60 minutes.
WebJi® hosting plans that carry the money-back window cover the first-term hosting fee, so a plan that turns out wrong can be cancelled through billing inside it.
Frequently asked questions
Which WebJi® plan is best for a small business website?
Webji Turbo suits most single business sites: ₹399 a month or ₹3,828 a year before GST, with unlimited NVMe storage and unlimited email accounts. Choose Launch for a personal blog with up to 10 mailboxes, and Scale if you run several websites.
Why do some hosts advertise a far lower monthly price?
Very low monthly prices usually require a multi-year prepayment and renew at a much higher rate. Work out the total over three years, including renewal and GST, then compare it with a plan whose renewal stays flat.
Do WordPress hosting plans cost more than shared hosting?
Not at WebJi®. WordPress hosting uses the same Turbo and Scale rows — ₹399 and ₹699 a month — with the stack tuned for WordPress. Choose it when the site is WordPress; a plain Linux account suits other PHP applications.
When should I move from shared hosting to a VPS?
When the site regularly hits entry-process or CPU limits even after caching, or when you need software that shared hosting does not allow. A KVM VPS starts at ₹499 a month before GST and gives root access.
