What to consider when choosing a hosting plan in India
What features do I need?
Do I just need webspace so my website can go live or will it require an email service provider and more in order to function properly?
Is there bandwidth available if traffic spikes on any given day, Will enough hard drive storage be provided, or does this cost extra?
What type of backup plan exists in case disaster strikes (i.e., how often is data backed up automatically?)
Does the company provide free domain registration services?
Remember that ‘the cheapest’ hosting may not necessarily be the best choice for you – especially when considering your needs as well as long-term costs for downtime and lost revenue from a hacked site.
Do I need to host my website on more than one server?
In some cases, multiple servers are required to handle high bandwidth demands due to sudden spikes in traffic volume.
It’s important to note that there can still be downtimes with multiple servers if they’re hosted by different providers because these companies operate independently without any coordination.
Cost
The cost of hosting will vary depending on the level of service and features you choose, as well as your needs (e.g., many people don’t require a dedicated IP address for their site)
Type of website
You will want to consider which options best fit what you plan on using the site for from social media posts or blogs about life at home, work, or school.
Ecommerce sites such as eBay and Etsy selling vintage clothing, crafts, and baked goods; or business sites that will be handling customer service inquiries require better hosting environments.
Security of your site
Another important thing to keep in mind is the level of security for your site.
This includes data integrity (i.e., preventing unauthorized users from altering any information on a database).
As well as protecting against denial-of-service attacks which are often launched by malicious hackers looking to stop legitimate access to a website.
Your technical expertise
You will want to think about how much time you’re willing to spend tweaking settings after installation since it can take some work initially to get things set up just right.
If you do not wish to get technical, go with managed hosting in India.
