Best Web Hosting in India

[Shaoor]

I want to host my website and looking for web hosting provider. But the issue is should I opt for VPN or shared plan as I need better security and reliability.

 

[Sushubh]

if you want better reliability, get a VPS. VPN has nothing to do with web hosting.

Is VPS cost much than the Shared One. What is its monthly pay?

 

[Sushubh]

Every company is different. Pick something based on your budget.

What kind of website? Does it receive a lot of traffic? If you are going for shared, pick one from Shared Hosting Offers | Web Hosting Talk

I personally recommend Stablehost.

Oh Web Hosting in India, well, not many options then.

So basically you're trying to host a simple website which may have some HTML pages or some PHP pages or a script like Wordpress. Then you should go for Shared Hosting.

Judging that most of the visitors to your website are from India then,
you should go for Hostgator India Shared Hosting.
If most of the visitors are from the
US -> NameCheap US shared hosting, BlueHost shared hosting.
Europe -> NameCheap UK shared, OVH web hosting.

When should one switch from Shared hosting/Web hosting to a VPS ?

When your website traffic increases from 5K visitors/day. Usually your web/shared hosting provider will make you aware if you're using more resources then you're allotted and will ask you to shift to a VPS.

If you're planning to get a VPS from India. DigitalOcean Droplet with Bangalore Data-center is the best choice. (Price: 5$/pm 512MB/20GB/1TB)

I have used each and every one of the web/shared hosting and VPS providers listed above and based on my experience I have listed the same.

If you need any further information, let me know.

Go for DreamHost's DreamPress for WordPress. & BlueHost is pretty good for HTML & PHP etc etc..

My personal advice:- Stay away from GoDaddy's Shared hosting.

Dreamhost is pretty bad for shared hosting.
