Rocket.net Starter costs $30 a month (first month $1) or $25 a month billed yearly, about ₹33,616 a year with 18% GST. One site, unmetered visitors, 10 GB storage and 50 GB bandwidth. It lists a Mumbai data centre, keeps backups 30 days and promises no price rise at renewal. No email hosting.
Rocket.net prices in rupees
From rocket.net/pricing on 28 Oct 2026. US dollars converted at the 16 Oct 2026 ECB rate, with 18% GST if it is charged (Rocket.net’s page does not say).
| Plan | Monthly | Yearly (2 months free) | Year with GST, yearly billing | Sites | Storage | Bandwidth |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $30/mo | $25/mo | ₹33,616 | 1 | 10 GB | 50 GB |
| Pro | $60/mo | $50/mo | ₹67,232 | 3 | 20 GB | 100 GB |
| Business | $100/mo | $83/mo | ₹1,12,053 | 10 | 40 GB | 300 GB |
| Expert | $200/mo | $166/mo | ₹2,24,106 | 25 | 50 GB | 500 GB |
Every plan: $1 for the first month on monthly billing, unmetered visitors, unlimited PHP workers, daily backups kept 30 days, WAF, malware protection and free migrations. Yearly totals use Rocket.net’s 2-months-free rule (10 x the monthly price).
Renewal: what you really pay
Rocket.net says it will “never do price hikes on renewals”. So the only jump is after the $1 first month: Starter goes to $30 a month, or you pay the yearly price again. Extra disk is billed at $2 per GB and extra bandwidth at $0.08 per GB if you go over.
| Starter | Year 1 | Year 2 | With GST, year 2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly billing | $331 | $360 | ₹40,339 |
| Yearly billing | $300 | $300 | ₹33,616 |
What is good and what to watch
Good
- Mumbai data centre listed on its status page, with Singapore and Dubai nearby
- No renewal price rise, in writing on the pricing page
- Unmetered visitors: you pay for storage and bandwidth, not visits
- Daily backups kept 30 days, WAF and malware protection on every plan
- 4.7 on Trustpilot from 274 reviews
Watch out for
- $30 a month is costly next to Indian shared hosting
- WordPress only; no email hosting
- Overage fees for disk and bandwidth
- Billed in US dollars; your bank may add a forex fee
- Enterprise plans are not covered by the refund
Speed for Indian visitors
Rocket.net’s status page lists Mumbai among its data centres, next to Singapore, Dubai and others. Pick Mumbai for an Indian audience. Pages are also served through its Enterprise CDN (Cloudflare appears on the same status page), so cached pages load from an edge near the visitor.
