Best Web Hosting in Delhi - Our Recommendations

5 best web hosting providers in Delhi:

After doing all the necessary tests/research on dozens of web hosts, we’ve come up with the following hosts that are ideal for the Delhi demographic. Each web host cost different, but all are value for money hosts, in our opinion.

There's no better hosting option than Hostinger if low-cost is your priority. And it's quite possible it's the ideal host for you otherwise as well. Why? Well, because if you are serving Delhi demographic only, the site will most likely need less server resources, and the cheap Hostinger plans give incredible performance & uptime in such situations.

Moreover, Hostinger has a data center in Asia and payment options like UPI & Paytm, which makes it an excellent choice for Indian users with Indian -- in this case, Delhi -- demographic.  

For someone with no budget issues whatsoever and quality/WordPress performance as the top priority, it doesn’t get better than Kinsta. Period. It uses Google Cloud Platform (or GCP) to host all the sites, and it’s their main USP. Basically, you'll be using the same cutting-edge technology Google itself uses for its services/products like YouTube, Gmail, Google search, etc. 

This includes access to 28 data centers across the globe, which guarantees A+ performance anywhere in the world, including Delhi. Proof: We chose their India data center and found the server response time in India to be 2 ms! Yes, 2 ms! For context, Google recommends it to be under 200 ms. 

A2 Hostinger is another of those global web hosting providers with data center in Asia. This fact kind of guarantees good server response time in Delhi. Besides, A2's combination of high-performing hardware + software makes it among the top choices for people expecting high traffic. E.g., If you run a busy restaurant in Delhi and want to build a website for branding & accepting orders, A2 might be perfect for you.

It lacks a few beginner-friendly features like free domain registration and likes, but if you don't care about such value-adds, A2 is right up there with any affordable web hosting you might find ideal for Delhi.

Just like Bluehost, Hostgator's parent company is also EIG, which, as mentioned, has a data center in India. The features & pricing of Hostgator is also similar to Bluehost's. However, we find Hostgator a bit dated for our liking, making it among the but last choice in this best web hosts in Delhi list.

It does have its pluses, though. You get a 45-day money-back guarantee. Moreover, there's Gator builder, which is Hostgator's proprietary drag-and-drop builder with 100s of customizable templates. In short, it's beginner-friendly alright!

Things to Consider When Choosing a Good Hosting Provider:

It’s not much of a secret, but these are the things we look for/at when we compile such lists: 

1. Pricing

No surprises here. This list, i.e., the best web hosting in Delhi, has a host for all price ranges. E.g., Hostinger costing basically less than a burger’s cost, or Kinsta costing more than the cost of rajwadi meals for the whole day. 

Why? Because everyone’s budget and requirements are different. The budget is the primary driving factor in most purchasing decisions. For instance, a random Instagrammer with a passion for poetry most probably doesn’t have a use for or budget for Kinsta.

2. Uptime

Fact: No one can see your offerings/buy from you if your site is not online. And “uptime” data shows how much time the site has been available.

Just because A2 Hosting didn’t have better uptime than BlueHost, it slid down two numbers on the list. It’s that important.

If your website needs to be up all the time, better go with cloud hosting or cloud-based plans like the ones from Kinsta. E.g., eCommerce sales can decline if the site faces frequent downtime.

3. Loading time

Loading time is the time it takes for the user to load your site’s webpage fully. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out slow loading speed will negatively affect your online business in an impatient world where there are alternatives accessible in a bink of an eye.

Just for the sake of it, here are a couple of statistics:

This is one of the reasons why we chose hosting with data center as near to Delhi as possible. It slightly affects the server response time and loading time.

4. Technical support

Unless you are a tech geek and know how to handle everything from databases to downtime, you will need assistance. In fact, even if you know everything, you can do very little if there’s a problem with the servers or aspects relating to hosting’s physical elements. 

Therefore, we put the support team at the top of our testing priority. A quality support team is one that’s able to reply quickly and assist with anything ranging from basic setup questions to more advanced questions relating to databases or backend access.

5. Features/Freebies

Knowing the features you’ll get with the plan beforehand is also a critical aspect of choosing a web hosting. E.g., If you are starting an e-commerce store, having an SSL certificate is crucial for your customers’ privacy and security. In such a case, choosing a web hosting provider that offers free SSL will be preferable to the one that doesn’t.
