What do you write down before you compare hosts?
A hosting service fits when it can run this site for the next year at a price you will still pay. Open a note and fill these four lines before you compare plans.
- Name the site in one sentence: one brochure, a blog, a WordPress shop, or an app.
- Write monthly visits. If the site is new, use under 5,000 for the first year. Do not buy for a spike you have not seen.
- Count the mailboxes you need on day one, such as hello@ and accounts@.
- Write the renewal in INR for the term you will keep, then add 18% GST.
You can move on when those four lines fit on the note. If you cannot name the site in one sentence, do not pay yet.
Which hosting type fits the site?
The type follows the site you wrote down, not a ranking of brand names.
| Site | Start here | What done looks like |
|---|---|---|
| Brochure, blog, or a small business site | Shared hosting | The plan lists one site, PHP, a database, SSL, and mailboxes |
| WordPress site | WordPress hosting | The order page shows a current PHP version and an installer |
| Shop or app past shared limits | VPS | CPU and memory are stated, and an upgrade does not mean a rebuild |
| Heavy database, or the whole machine | Dedicated server | The quote says what is included, or the size is priced by email first |
A first brochure site or blog starts on shared hosting. Choosing WordPress hosting uses this same checklist, plus a current PHP version and an installer. The named plans are on WordPress hosting.
Move to a VPS only after shared CPU or memory is the limit you have hit. A dedicated server is for a heavy database or for control of the whole machine. If that size is not on a price table, ask for a quote by email before you pay.
How do you price the renewal, not the banner?
The monthly sticker is not the bill. A low first price can be a long prepay, or a price that rises when the term ends. Write the renewal for the term you will actually keep.
Add 18% GST on an Indian invoice. WebJi® prices in the table further down are before that 18%. A registered buyer claims input credit only when the invoice shows that buyer's GSTIN. Save the number on the billing profile before you pay. The supplier GSTIN is on the tax invoice, not in the plan table.
The price check is done when the renewal, the billing term, and the GST line are all visible before you approve payment.
What must be included before you pay?
Open the order page and confirm each item. A tick with no number is not a confirmation.
- SSL that renews for the domain, so the site opens on HTTPS with no certificate warning.
- Backups you can restore from the panel, and a copy you download before a large update.
- The panel name, plus file, mail, PHP, and database tools you can find without a ticket.
- Counts for websites, storage, databases, and mailboxes. “Unlimited” with no fair-use note is not a number you can plan on.
- The drive type, when the host states it. Prefer the SSD or NVMe line over an old hard disk.
This check is done when the order summary names those items and you can still see the renewal.
Where should the server sit, and who answers?
If most visitors are in India, ask which city the server is in. A shorter route is usually faster than a machine in the US or Europe. It does not fix heavy images or a slow theme.
WebJi®'s registered office is Shop #27, Ajmer Road, Tagore Nagar, Jaipur, Rajasthan 302021. That office is not a walk-in server room, and there is no walk-in branch in another city. About 99% of clients are served online. Email support@webji.services and ask for the current server city before you treat Jaipur as the machine location.
Support is 24/7 email at that address, in Hindi and English. The average first reply is under 60 minutes. The phone +91-141-4941811 is the office number, not a support line. Do not call it when a site is down. Send one technical question by email before you pay, and keep the reply time.
What do the refund, uptime, and exit terms say?
Read the refund policy before you pay. Hosting has a money-back window from activation that covers the hosting fee as invoiced. A domain is a registration and is not the same refund. The check is done when you can point to the window and to what it excludes.
WebJi® publishes a 99.9% uptime target. Ask what credit you receive if that target is missed. A target with no credit rule is only a slogan.
You should be able to export the files and the database. Free migration onto WebJi® is subject to terms and approval. It is not instant, and it is not unconditional. The exit is real when you can download a backup without waiting on a ticket.
Which signs mean you should stop?
Stop the checkout when any of these are true. Ask the host in writing, and leave if the answer stays vague.
- The renewal is missing, or it appears only after payment.
- The checkout is in a foreign currency and you need an INR invoice.
- An Indian bill has no GST line.
- “Unlimited” is printed with no fair-use note and no count of sites or databases.
- The only support path is a phone number, with no email you can test.
- You cannot find a refund window, or the window excludes the hosting fee.
How do WebJi plans sit on this checklist?
WebJi® has done this work since 2005 and serves 12,000+ clients online across India and overseas. These figures were read on 29 October 2026 from the live price file. Each price is before 18% GST. The one-year column is the published total, not twelve times the monthly price.
| Plan | Monthly before GST | One year before GST | Listed for |
|---|---|---|---|
| L-Basic | ₹300 | ₹3,000 | Personal sites and blogs |
| L-Unlimited | ₹400 | ₹4,000 | Business sites |
| L-Developer | ₹700 | ₹7,000 | More CPU and concurrent processes |
| WordPress Unlimited | ₹400 | ₹3,000 | The WordPress plan |
| WordPress Unlimited+ | ₹500 | ₹4,200 | The larger WordPress plan |
Cloud Entry is a Windows Server configuration at ₹5,900 a month before GST, with 2 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, and 100 GB storage. It is not a Linux VPS. A Linux VPS or a dedicated server is quoted by email at support@webji.services before you pay.
Compare those rows on WebJi® hosting, then apply the same four notes: traffic, software, the renewal plus 18% GST, and a reply from email support. If a size you need is not listed, ask for the quote before you pay.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose web hosting in India?
Write down monthly visits, the software the site runs, the renewal in rupees, and 18% GST on that renewal. Then check SSL, backups, and whether email support replies in Hindi or English. A first brochure site or blog starts on shared hosting.
Is shared hosting enough for a small business site?
Yes, when the site is a brochure, a blog, or a small shop that still fits the plan's CPU and memory. Move to a VPS when checkout or traffic outgrows that account. Do not start on a dedicated server while the site is still being built.
Why does the renewal price matter more than the first bill?
The first invoice is often a short offer. The renewal is what you keep paying. Record that renewal in INR for the term you will buy, then add 18% GST. If the renewal is not shown, ask before you pay.
Should the server be in India?
If most visitors are in India, ask which city the server is in. A shorter route is usually faster than a machine in the US or Europe. It does not fix heavy images. WebJi®'s Jaipur address is the registered office, not a walk-in server room. Email support@webji.services for the current location.
Is a cheap first price bad for SEO?
No. A low first price is not a ranking penalty. Slow pages, long outages, and a missing HTTPS certificate are the hosting problems that hurt a site. Compare the renewal, the 99.9% uptime target, and whether SSL is included.
Do WebJi invoices add 18% GST?
Yes. The prices in the plan table are before 18% GST, and the invoice adds that tax. Save your GSTIN on the billing profile before you pay if the invoice must show it. Email support@webji.services if a tax line is missing. The office phone is not a support line.
