Web hosting under ₹1,000 a year: ₹588 per year on the 3-year Basic plan.
Straight answer first: our cheapest yearly plan is ₹1,188 a year (₹99 a month), a little over ₹1,000. Pay for three years at once and the same Basic plan is ₹1,764, which is ₹588 per year, or ₹49 a month. No ₹999 gimmick plan, no renewal jump.
Budget web hosting plans, priced per month
Three shared hosting plans on pure SSD with free SSL, business email and backup tools. The 3-year cycle is selected because it is the only way to get under ₹1,000 a year with us. Switch to yearly or monthly to compare.

What each plan really costs per year
"Under ₹1,000" only means something as cost per year. Monthly billing looks cheap per month and costs the most per year; the 3-year plan costs the most up front and the least per year. Every plan, every cycle, divided down to one year.
| Plan | Monthly billing | Yearly billing | 3-year billing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic 1 site · 70 GB SSD | ₹1,788 a year ₹149 × 12 | ₹1,188 a year paid once a year | ₹588 a year ₹1,764 ÷ 3 |
| Professional 10 sites · 150 GB SSD | ₹2,988 a year ₹249 × 12 | ₹1,788 a year paid once a year | ₹1,188 a year ₹3,564 ÷ 3 |
| Unlimited Unlimited sites · 300 GB SSD | ₹5,988 a year ₹499 × 12 | ₹3,588 a year paid once a year | ₹2,388 a year ₹7,164 ÷ 3 |
Nothing here is under ₹500 a year, and we will not pretend otherwise. ₹588 is the floor. For comparison, Hostinger India's 1-site plan was ₹1,188 for the first year and about ₹3,468 at renewal, and YouStable's was ₹1,428, both checked September 2026. Our ₹588 and ₹1,188 stay the same when you renew.
What you should expect under ₹1,000, and what to avoid
Cheap hosting is fine for a portfolio, a college project, a small shop's site or a blog. It goes wrong in five predictable ways. Check all five before you pay anyone, including us.
Where cheap hosting goes wrong
- Oversold servers: hundreds of sites crammed on one box, so yours crawls whenever a neighbour gets busy
- No SSL, or SSL sold as a ₹500-a-year add-on, so the browser shows "Not secure"
- No backups: one bad plugin update and the site is gone
- No support: a contact form nobody reads
- Renewal jumps: ₹999 in year one, ₹3,000 or more in year two
What you get from HostKarle at ₹588 a year
- Never oversold: CloudLinux caps each account's CPU and memory, so a busy neighbour cannot slow your site
- Free SSL issued and renewed automatically for every domain
- Backup tools in the control panel: take a full copy of files, databases and email whenever you like
- Help by ticket and WhatsApp from a small team that has run servers since 2016
- Renews at ₹1,764 every three years, the same as you paid on day one
What is included at ₹588 a year
Basic is the cheapest plan we sell, not a stripped-down one. The same eight things come with every plan, and none is a paid add-on.
70 GB pure SSD
Solid-state storage on servers we do not oversell. Most single sites use under 2 GB, so there is room to grow.
Unlimited bandwidth
No traffic meter and no surprise bill if a post or a Diwali offer gets shared more than you expected.
Free SSL
A Let's Encrypt certificate for every domain, issued automatically and renewed automatically. The padlock never lapses.
DirectAdmin panel
Files, databases, email, domains and the PHP version selector in one web panel. A cPanel alternative with no command line needed.
One-click WordPress
Softaculous installs WordPress, WooCommerce, Joomla and 100+ other apps from the panel in about a minute.
10 email accounts
Mailboxes on your own domain, such as hello@yourbrand.in, with webmail, IMAP and POP3.
Backup tools
Take a full backup of files, databases and email from the panel whenever you like and download it to keep.
Free migration
Send us your old host's login and we move the site, database and email across at no cost. Your old site stays up until you switch nameservers.
Six questions to ask any cheap host
Ask these before you pay and expect a plain answer. Here is ours, including the two where we are not the best in the market.
What does it cost in year two?
Exactly what it cost in year one. ₹1,764 every three years on Basic, or ₹1,188 every year. We do not use introductory pricing on any plan.
Is SSL included, or sold separately?
Included. A Let's Encrypt certificate is issued for every domain on the account within about half an hour of setup and renews itself.
Can I take my own backup?
Yes, from the panel, any time. Server-side copies we keep are a courtesy, not a guarantee, so download your own backup after big changes.
How many sites share my server?
It is shared hosting, so many. What matters is that CloudLinux caps each account, so no single site can eat the CPU or memory yours needs. We do not oversell the box.
How do I reach a human?
Ticket or WhatsApp at +91 94764 42228. We are a small team, so we do not promise a reply time, but a person reads every message. There is no phone queue and no chatbot.
What is the refund window?
2 days. That is shorter than the 30 days some hosts offer, so use those first 48 hours to install your site and test it. After that, refunds are only for a prolonged outage on our side. Read the policy.
Add a domain and keep the total low
A .in or .co.in keeps hosting and domain together under ₹2,000 for the year. Register it in the same checkout and we point it at your plan, so the site, SSL and email work without any DNS work.
.in and .co.in renew at the same price. .xyz is ₹211.48 for the first year only and renews at ₹1,592.40: the cheapest way to start, not the cheapest way to stay. Already own a domain? Keep it where it is and point its nameservers to ns1.fastnsdns.com and ns2.fastnsdns.com. Full price list on the domains page.

What is the cheapest web hosting per year at HostKarle?
The Basic plan on the 3-year cycle: ₹1,764 paid once for three years, which is ₹588 per year or ₹49 a month. If you would rather pay one year at a time, the same plan is ₹1,188 a year (₹99 a month). Both include 1 website, 70 GB SSD, free SSL and 10 email accounts, and renew at the same price.
Is there a plan under ₹500 a year?
No. Our lowest cost per year is ₹588, on the 3-year Basic plan. We do not sell anything under ₹500 a year and would rather say so than bury it. A host offering shared hosting under ₹500 a year is usually running an introductory price that rises at renewal, or packing far more sites on to each server than we do.
Do you have a ₹999 plan?
No. Our yearly Basic plan is ₹1,188 (₹99 a month), which is ₹189 over the ₹999 mark. The nearest thing to a ₹999 plan is the 3-year Basic plan at ₹1,764 for three years, which works out to ₹588 a year. We have not created a ₹999 plan to win the search, because it would need a renewal jump to pay for itself.
What is the catch with the 3-year plan?
You pay the whole ₹1,764 up front, and the money-back window is 2 days, not 3 years. Ask within 48 hours of your first purchase and we refund the hosting fee in full. After that, refunds are only given for a prolonged outage on our side. So test the service properly in those first two days. There is no other catch: same limits, same support, same renewal price as the monthly plan.
Is GST included in these prices?
No, GST is added at checkout where applicable, and every payment comes with a GST invoice from your client area. If you are registered, add your GSTIN to your account before paying so it appears on the invoice.
Can I pay by UPI?
Yes. Checkout runs through Razorpay and Cashfree, so you can pay with Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm, BHIM or any other UPI app, as well as Visa, Mastercard and RuPay cards, net banking and wallets. Everything is charged in rupees. We do not take PayPal, cash or cheques. More on paying with UPI.
Will the price go up when I renew?
No. The ₹1,764 three-year plan renews at ₹1,764, and the ₹1,188 yearly plan renews at ₹1,188. We do not use introductory pricing on any plan or cycle. Domains are the exception: a few extensions such as .xyz have a low first-year price and a higher renewal, and we show both.
Can I upgrade from Basic later?
Yes, at any time and with no downtime. Move to Professional or Unlimited and you pay only the difference for the rest of your billing period. Your files, databases and email stay where they are.
Is SSL really free on the cheapest plan?
Yes. A Let's Encrypt certificate is issued automatically for every domain on the account, usually within 20 to 30 minutes of setup, and it renews itself. There is nothing to buy, install or remember.
Can you move my existing site for free?
Yes. Send us the control-panel login from your current host and we copy the website, databases and mailboxes at no charge. Your old site stays live until you change the nameservers, so there is no downtime.
