Hosting in India is advertised per month, but the lowest monthly figure usually needs three, four or even five years paid upfront, and the plan then renews at a higher rate. A single "total over N years" can hide that, depending on where you stop counting. So this guide shows what you've paid by the end of every year, running one year past the longest first term.
How we worked it out
- You buy the advertised first term upfront, then renew one year at a time at the renewal price the host lists.
- Prices are as listed on each host's own website, checked 27 Oct 2026.
- Where a host lists prices without GST we mark it "+ GST". GST is 18%.
- Coupons are left out: they usually apply to the first payment only.

Check the "Includes" column as well: the next plan up varies a lot between hosts in how many websites and how much storage you get.
Don't forget the domain
Domain offers work the same way: a ₹1 first year usually comes with a multi-year purchase, and the renewal is the real yearly price. Cloudy24 hosting works with a domain registered anywhere.
| Registrar | .com first year | .com renews at | .in renews at | .com over 5 years |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hostinger | ₹1 with a 3-year term, before GST | ₹1,499/yr | ₹899/yr | ₹5,997 |
| GoDaddy | ₹1 with a 3-year purchase | ₹1,599/yr | ₹899/yr | ₹6,397 |
| BigRock | ₹1 with a 3-year purchase | ₹1,479/yr | ₹899/yr | ₹5,917 |
If you don't want to prepay at all
Cloudy24 also bills month to month: ₹199/mo for Starter and ₹499/mo for Business, with no commitment.
