What is the best website hosting company in India?

You already know that you need to have a website or blog, defined the platform that you will use to create it and insert your blog posts and even chose the domain that you will register, but now a question has come: where will I host my website? Yes, you need a hosting company to make your content accessible to the world.

If you have referrals from acquaintances or have already hosted a site, it shouldn't be a difficult choice, but if this is the first site you are going to host or your previous experience was not positive, the time has come to choose from the plethora of options, a hosting company with quality services, safe, easy to use, with good support and at a fair price. That is, you want to know which is the best website hosting company in India?

This is not an easy question to answer, not because there is no good hosting company. There are many. The point is that the concept of good and bad, better or worse, is relative.

There are many alternatives that may be good for some and not so good for others. Therefore, we will create a practical and objective points guide to help you choose where to host your blog or any other type of website.

We will also avoid technical approaches as much as possible because if you are reading this post, you are certainly not an experienced technician and you will not be able to identify and interpret a long list of resources that look more like alphabet soup. Get to work!

How to choose the best website hosting company

We have compiled a list of aspects that you should evaluate and from the answers you get, you will be able to make a conscious and well-evaluated choice:

Service and Support

Depending on your knowledge, as well as the technical aspects of the service you will hire, you will have a greater or lesser amount of technical support  from the hosting company, but it will be inevitable that you communicate with them to use the services and therefore, soon in the survey and contracting stage, it will be possible to verify that:

• The attendants are friendly, attentive and communicate in a humanized way;
• The explanations and information given to you are detailed and enlightening;
• The service time and resolution of problems and doubts is short;
• The procedures that are indicated are simple and when they are not, they manage to guide you on how to do it;
• Show willingness and interest in helping;
• Provide tutorials, links, articles for using resources.

Infrastructure

It is the set of physical resources and technologies that will serve as a basis for you to be able to host your website. You do not have to do a thorough and thorough technical assessment, but you do need to check some basic points that will give you the clues that you are choosing one of the best hosting companies available:

1. A good website hosting infrastructure is usually reflected in sites with good access speeds. If you are able to access hosted sites and the complete loading of the home page occurs in 3 or 4 seconds, then it is very likely that you are facing a hosting with good hosting servers.
2. If the hosted sites are always accessible, it is a great indicator that the network of servers used is reliable and stable.
3. Linux distributions ( CloudLinux, CentOS or Debian), cPanel / WHM panels, Softaculous, RoundCube, are some of the most common services and systems to be found in good and most popular hosting companies. If one of your hosting alternatives uses such services/systems, it's a good start, for the following reasons:

• Ease of migration for this company or for others, if you plan to change in the future.
• They are well-known systems, adopted worldwide because they are stable, reliable, easy to use and widely supported.
• In the opposite direction, be very careful with companies that use their own or exclusive solutions, so that you are not tied to it because your solution is incompatible with other companies.

Cost X benefit

Of course, we usually want to always pay the minimum and want to have the maximum. There is nothing wrong with that, but we all know that good products and services come at a price. Try to see if the relationship is fair. For this, observe the following aspects:

• Very low prices usually hide many limitations, which sometimes appear only in very extensive contracts or terms of service. As seldom does anyone read them, when you have to use the services, surprises come.
• The plans available should reflect a growing and clear scale of value and what you have the most when choosing superior plans.
• Do the sites clearly tell you everything you will have? Be wary of those who already ask you to advance in a registration system or even order, without first showing you clearly everything you are buying.
• Are the minimum and necessary resources (space, e-mail accounts, databases, CMSs, applications, etc.) part of the plan or does each specific issue have to be contracted separately? Be careful, as some companies create restrictions disguised as an advantage, such as a special plan for an online store, but when you need something different, such as a blog, you have to hire another plan and pay extra for it.
• Are there guarantees of return of values, if the contracted service does not meet what was offered? If the hosting company gives you this type of guarantee, it is a strong indication that you will really have the hosting service you want and expect.
• In the survey stage, when you are still getting to know the company, is the information you are given clear, objective, quick and does the attendant make you comfortable to choose? Remember that when using the services, this will also be the same service you will receive.

Are you ready to host your website?

If you have read everything and are able to check the points we have listed in this article, yes, you are ready to choose the best hosting company for your website. The answer will vary according to each person because each of us has a level of demand and needs of our own, but in general, there will be a certain consensus around some names.

What matters more than a company name, is the experience you will have when making your choice, because hosting a website in terms of service is not much different than going to a restaurant, a clothing store or the doctor, where the service you receive and how your needs and expectations are met, will tell you if you come back or want to try another one next time!
