Short answer: Hosting.com is A2 Hosting under a new name. Its India site sells shared hosting in rupees from ₹80 a month on a 4-year term (₹3,840, about ₹4,531 with GST if added), renewing at ₹400. Plans run LiteSpeed with daily backups kept 30 days, a Mumbai data centre and a free domain for the first year.

Speed for Indian visitors
Pick Mumbai when you order shared hosting; Singapore is the alternative. Shared plans have no built-in CDN, so add the free Cloudflare plan if you also have visitors abroad. LiteSpeed Cache is included, which on our own LiteSpeed server took a page from 321 ms to 49 ms.
