On every plan

Everything included

The same eight things come with every plan, whether you run a homestay in Fort Kochi or a coaching centre in Kozhikode. Nothing here is a paid add-on.

Pure SSD storage

Solid-state disks on servers we never oversell, so pages and databases stay quick when your site is busy.

Unlimited bandwidth

No traffic meter and no surprise bill if a reel sends a crowd your way or your Onam sale takes off.

DirectAdmin control panel

Files, databases, email, domains and PHP versions from one clean web panel. No command line needed.

Free SSL

A Let's Encrypt certificate is issued for every domain automatically and renews itself.

Backup tools

Take a full backup of files, databases and email from the panel whenever you like and download it.

Business email

Mailboxes on your own domain, such as hello@yourshop.in, with webmail, IMAP, POP3 and spam filtering.

One-click WordPress

WordPress installs from the panel in one click, and WooCommerce adds on from the WordPress dashboard.

Free migration

Send us your old host's login and we move site, database and email across at no cost.

Why HostKarle

Why so many Kerala customers host with us

We are a small hosting company from Alipurduar in West Bengal, running servers since 2016. We have no office in Kerala and will not pretend otherwise. What we do have is a customer base that is more than half Malayali, built largely on word of mouth and a price that never goes up.

Rupees, paid by UPI

Every price is in ₹. Checkout takes Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm or any UPI app, plus RuPay, Visa and Mastercard cards and net banking. How UPI checkout works.

Sales and billing on WhatsApp

Message +91 94343 44325 with a screenshot and a real person looks at it. Prefer a paper trail? Open a ticket anytime; we answer 10 AM to 10 PM IST, and slower after that.

Same price at renewal

No introductory offers. The ₹1,188 a year you pay for Basic today is what you pay next year and the year after, on every plan and cycle.

Free move from your current host

Leaving a Kochi reseller, Hostinger or GoDaddy? Send the old panel login and we copy files, databases and mail; the old site stays up until you switch nameservers.

.in and .co.in domains

A .in is ₹889 a year and a .co.in is ₹699, both renewing at the same price. Register in the same checkout or see all domain prices.

30% affiliate commission

Kerala freelancers and web-design institutes refer more customers to us than anyone else, and earn 30% of every payment, renewals included. Join the programme.

Across the state

Web hosting across Kerala's cities

Everything is online, so a customer in Kasaragod gets the same plans, prices and support as one in Kochi. These are the places most of our Kerala customers write from.

Web hosting in Kochi and Ernakulam

Kochi sends us more sign-ups than any other city in Kerala. Many come from Infopark and the start-ups around Kakkanad, where a freelancer or two-person studio hosts client sites on a Professional plan without paying agency prices. The rest is the city's everyday economy: homestays and houseboat operators in Fort Kochi and Alappuzha who want a booking page that loads fast for overseas visitors, Broadway traders putting a catalogue online, and clinics in Edappally that need an appointment page with email on their own domain.

Web hosting in Kozhikode (Calicut)

Kozhikode is our second-largest Kerala city by customers, and the mix is different. Cyberpark companies account for some developer accounts, but far more come from the city's trading tradition: Mittai Theruvu shops, timber and furniture businesses, and Gulf-linked import firms that want a sales@ mailbox on their own domain rather than a Gmail address. Education is the other big group. Coaching centres, IELTS academies and web-design institutes around Mavoor Road host their own sites with us and often bring students along on the Basic plan.

Web hosting in Thiruvananthapuram

Thiruvananthapuram customers are typically Technopark developers hosting portfolio and side-project sites, plus consultants and small firms whose work sits close to government: tender consultants, PSC coaching centres, printing and documentation services around Statue and Palayam, and NGOs that need a small site with a few mailboxes. We see a lot of Basic plans here used for a single brochure site with email, which at ₹1,188 a year is easy to expense, and invoices come from the client area for any office that needs them.

Web hosting in Kannur and Malappuram

North Malabar is where our affiliate programme works hardest. Web-design institutes and freelance developers in Kannur, Thalassery, Manjeri and Tirur build sites for local businesses, host them on a Professional or Unlimited plan, and collect 30% commission on every referral. The businesses are varied: Kannur handloom exporters, Gulf remittance-driven supermarkets, furniture makers, and home bakers and boutiques selling on Instagram who want a WooCommerce shop behind the link in their bio. Most are first-time website owners, so free SSL and one-click WordPress matter more than raw specs.

Web hosting in Thrissur, Kollam and Palakkad

Thrissur brings us gold and jewellery retailers, Ayurvedic clinics and temple-adjacent businesses that need a trustworthy site on https from day one. Kollam customers lean towards cashew exporters, tourism operators around Ashtamudi and small engineering firms. Palakkad sends rice mills, agricultural suppliers and colleges hosting student project sites and department pages. None of them need a big server. What they need is a plan that will not jump in price next year, a proper invoice, and a ticket answered by people who know WordPress.

Resell, refer, teach

For freelancers and web-design institutes in Kerala

If you build websites for other people, HostKarle can be both the place you host them and a small second income. This is how our Kerala freelancers and institutes use us.

1

Host client sites on one plan

Put up to 10 client sites on Professional (₹1,788 a year) or as many as you like on Unlimited (₹3,588 a year). Each site gets its own domain, free SSL, databases and mailboxes from one DirectAdmin panel, and you bill your clients whatever you like.

2

Earn 30% as an affiliate

Clients who would rather hold their own account? Send them through your affiliate link and you earn 30% of every payment they make, renewals included, for as long as they stay. Sign up at my.hostkarle.in/affiliates.php; it is free.

3

Put students on Basic

Institutes teaching HTML, WordPress or PHP give each student a real Basic plan at ₹99 a month yearly, or ₹49 a month on three years, so they learn on a live server with a real domain rather than localhost. See student web hosting.

Kerala hosting FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Still unsure? Open a ticket for technical help. For sales and billing, message us on WhatsApp at +91 94343 44325.

How much does web hosting cost in Kerala?

Kerala-based hosts we checked in September 2026 charge between about ₹800 and ₹2,500 a year for a single-site starter plan, and some raise the price at renewal. HostKarle's Basic plan is ₹149 a month billed monthly, ₹99 a month on a yearly plan (₹1,188 a year) or ₹49 a month on a three-year plan (₹1,764), with 70 GB of SSD storage, and it renews at the same price. No GST or other fees are added at checkout.

Do you have an office in Kerala?

No, and we would rather say so than pretend. HostKarle is based in Alipurduar, West Bengal, and everything is done online: you order from the website, pay by UPI or card, and get technical help by ticket. More than half of our customers are in Kerala, so hosting from a distance clearly works for them.

Can I pay by UPI?

Yes. Checkout goes through Razorpay or Cashfree, so you can pay with Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm, BHIM or any other UPI app, or with Visa, Mastercard and RuPay cards, net banking and wallets. Everything is charged in rupees. We do not take cash, cheques or PayPal. More on paying with UPI.

Can I register a .in domain with my hosting?

Yes. A .in domain is ₹889 a year and a .co.in is ₹699 a year, both renewing at the same price. Register it in the same checkout as your hosting and we connect it to your plan. If you already own a domain elsewhere, point its nameservers to ns1.fastnsdns.com and ns2.fastnsdns.com.

Is there a money-back guarantee?

Yes, for 2 days. Ask within 48 hours of your first hosting purchase and we refund the hosting fee in full. After that, refunds are only given for a prolonged outage on our side, and domains are never refundable. Read the full refund policy.

Can you move my website from my current host?

Yes, free of charge. Whichever host you are with, send us your existing control-panel login and we copy the files, databases and mailboxes across. Your old site stays live until you change the nameservers, so there is no downtime.

Does WordPress work on these plans?

Yes. Every plan has a PHP version selector, and WordPress Manager in DirectAdmin installs WordPress in one click. Free SSL is issued automatically, so the site is on https from day one.

Will I get an invoice?

Yes. Every payment produces an invoice in the client area. We do not charge GST, so it shows no GST. No GST or other fees are added at checkout.

How does the affiliate programme work?

Sign up at my.hostkarle.in/affiliates.php, share your link, and earn 30% of every hosting payment made by customers you refer, including their renewals. It suits Kerala freelancers, institutes and bloggers who already send people to a host.

Is there student pricing?

Students pay the same low prices as everyone else, and the Basic plan at ₹99 a month on a yearly plan, or ₹49 a month on three years, is already within a student budget. See the student web hosting page for how to set up a portfolio or project site.
