What to look for
• Speed: modern servers, SSD/NVMe storage, caching and a CDN
• Server location: servers in or near India for Indian visitors
• Uptime: a reliable track record; ask about guarantees
• Free SSL: “https” on every page
• Daily backups with easy restore
• Security: firewall, malware scanning and updates
• Support: quick help by chat, phone or ticket when something breaks
• Email: business email included or available separately
• Scalability: easy to upgrade as traffic grows
Red flags
• “Unlimited everything” for a very low price
• No backups, or backups only at extra cost
• Slow or no support
• Hosting account registered in the developer’s name, not yours
• Renewal prices far higher than the first-year offer, without being clear upfront
Who should own the hosting?
Your business should own the hosting account, or at least have full admin access, even if your agency manages it. The same applies to your domain.
Email: hosting email vs business email services
Hosting plans often include basic email. For reliability and features, many businesses prefer dedicated business email services. Compare spam filtering, storage, mobile apps and cost per user.
When to upgrade
• Pages slow down as traffic grows
• You add an online store or web application
• You run campaigns that bring traffic spikes
• Your hosting provider has frequent downtime
