What a school website needs from hosting
A school site is a brochure with two forms and a photo gallery — it needs reliable email, a valid certificate and a backup someone can restore, not a server of its own. What it does need from the plan is specific.
- Disk for documents: prospectus PDFs, fee circulars and gallery images add up; room for a few hundred megabytes of documents covers a year
- PHP and a database: WordPress or Joomla needs both, plus enough memory to save a form entry
- Free SSL: parents will not fill an admission form on a page the browser marks as not secure
- Daily backups: the most common school-site ticket is a page deleted by a staff member, not a hack
- Mailboxes on the school domain: info@, admissions@ and principal@ carry more traffic than the website does
Admission week and result day are not the same load
Admission-week traffic spreads over days and a shared plan absorbs it; result-day traffic lands in one hour and does not belong on the brochure site at all. Schools keep trying to host the second kind on the first kind of hosting.
| Event | What happens | Where it belongs |
|---|---|---|
| Admission week | A few hundred parents open the form and upload documents over several days | School site on shared hosting, form entries stored in the database |
| Result day | Thousands of students and parents hit one page in the same hour | The ERP or result portal, on its own infrastructure |
| Fee payment | Bursts at the deadline, plus a gateway redirect | The gateway's hosted page, linked from the site |
If results must sit on the school domain, publish a static PDF plus a link to the portal. A database query per visitor on a shared plan is how a school site goes down at 10 am on result day, and no plan upgrade fixes a query that was never indexed. The trade-offs are wider in shared vs cloud hosting.

Most schools belong on Webji Turbo, because the mailboxes and the form entries are what fill a plan, not the page count — Launch caps mailboxes at 10, and a school with info@, admissions@, accounts@ and principal@ plus aliases runs out quickly. These Linux shared plans use the ControlPanel.Systems control panel, not cPanel; cPanel hosting is a separate WebJi® product. Prices are before 18% GST, and the full list sits on the pricing page. Hosting is billed in INR and every renewal carries a GST invoice.
Email accounts on the school domain
Create a mailbox per function, not per person, so a change of staff does not lose the address. Four addresses cover a school: info@ for general enquiries, admissions@ for the admission form, accounts@ for fee queries and principal@ for escalations.
Use aliases for the rest — office@, admin@, transport@ — pointing at the mailbox of the person who handles that work. Enable webmail so a teacher can check a message from a phone without configuring an app; schools that outgrow this setup can move to business email hosting.
SSL, backups and who restores a page
SSL is issued and renewed on the plan, so a certificate that expires is a hosting problem, not a school problem. Backups are the part to agree on in writing: who runs them, how often, how long they are kept and who restores.
On WebJi® shared hosting a daily backup runs on the account, and a restore is a support request. Email support@webji.services with the page path and the date you want back. Support answers by email 24/7 in Hindi and English, and the published average first reply is under 60 minutes.
Choosing the domain: .edu.in, .ac.in, .in or .com
The extension is a trust signal for parents, and two of the four are restricted to eligible institutions.
- .edu.in is for recognised educational institutions and is issued through the registry's eligibility process, not on demand.
- .ac.in is for academic institutions such as colleges and universities, again subject to eligibility checks.
- .in and .com are open to anyone and can be registered today, which matters if the admission season starts next month — see .in domain registration.
- Whichever you pick, register it in the school trust's or society's name, not the web vendor's.
Updating the site when staff are not technical
The office needs to publish a circular without calling anyone: give one staff member an editor login, not an administrator login, and build notice and gallery pages from fixed templates. A new page then cannot break the layout.
Keep a one-page instruction sheet with screenshots: log in, add a notice, choose the category, publish. Anything more complex becomes a support ticket, and the site goes stale between tickets. If the school site runs on WordPress, the managed WordPress hosting plans add daily backups and a simpler update path.
Moving an existing school site
Moving is routine: take a full backup, copy the files and database, point DNS at the new server, and test the forms before the old host is cancelled. Keep the old account live for a week after the DNS change, because records propagate unevenly.
WebJi® migration is free subject to terms and approval, and the team can do the copy if the current host gives you a cPanel or DirectAdmin backup. Ask before you cancel anything. The shared hosting plans page lists what each plan includes, and the school website cost guide covers the build side.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What hosting does a school website need in India?
Shared Linux hosting with PHP, a database, free SSL, daily backups and mailboxes on the school domain. A brochure site with forms and a gallery fits a normal shared plan; a result portal does not.
How much does school website hosting cost?
WebJi® Linux shared plans are ₹299 a month for Webji Launch, ₹399 for Webji Turbo and ₹699 for Webji Scale, before 18% GST. Published annual prices are ₹2,868 for Launch and ₹3,828 for Turbo. Webji Turbo suits most schools because of its unlimited mailboxes.
Will a shared plan survive result day traffic?
Not if every visitor runs a database query. Publish results through the ERP or as a static PDF and link to it. Admission-week traffic spread over several days is well within a shared plan.
Can we use a .edu.in domain?
Only if the school is a recognised institution and completes the registry's eligibility process. .in and .com are open to anyone and can be registered the same day, which matters close to an admission season.
Who restores a page a staff member deleted?
Support does, from the account's daily backup. Email support@webji.services with the page path and the date, and the team restores that file. Keep one editor login rather than handing out administrator access.
