Host.co.in Review: A Trusted Name In Indian Web Hosting
There is something charming about Indian Web Hosting providers. Maybe it’s because I love Indian web hosting, I have a certain preference for Indian web hosts. The reason behind this favoritism is that even though they offer the same premium quality services as most globally recognized providers do, Indian web hosts tend to grant the same in really affordable prices.
In fact, I’ve seen some Indian companies offering surprisingly good quality hosting, almost as good as BlueHost and DigitalOcean, in just half the price. Doesn’t that just blow your mind?
However, one shouldn’t opt an overly cheap web hosting as that can also end up being disastrous. Whether expensive or inexpensive, I always tend to thoroughly examine the quality and performance of a web host before processing a review.
The hosting market is humongous; you either find web hosting providers offering premium quality services or the ones whose prices are astoundingly low. Usually, Indian web hosts are the only hosts which wouldn’t compromise with either quality or the prices.
One such web host I’ve had the pleasure of being hosted with is Host.co.in. It blew other cheap providers right out of the water.
About Host.co.in
Host.co.in is a group company of ESDS Software Solution Pvt. Ltd. with their own datacenters at Mumbai, Bangalore, and Nashik locations. It was established as a popular web hosting company all throughout India way back in 2005. They has already made a huge impact as being one of the best Indian web hosts to ever exist.
Till date, well over a million websites have been hosted with Host.co.in and big number of servers in total have been deployed. Customer satisfaction is a topmost priority for the team and it’s powered with enterprise-grade hardware to grant the highest quality server response.
Features
1. Powerful hardware and top-notch servers
Many Indian web hosting providers I’ve encountered have failed to provide the utmost quality. The reason behind this was their hardware. A lot of hosts still opt for HDD server which are awfully slow and lethargic.
Host.co.in is powered by best-in-class SSD servers which optimize faster and are more stable. It is also optimized by LiteSpeed web server, in addition to the datacenters being powered by the TIER III and TIER IV technology.
The hosting is boosted by the splendid Intel hardware with full root access. After hosting my site with Host.co.in, I noticed the pages were loading extremely fast and the servers were never down or lethargic. As far as the hardware was concerned, I was thoroughly satisfied.
2. 99.95% uptime SLA response
The biggest nightmare for me would be to witness my website being unable to open. Most of my work is done online, through my site. If my viewers or potential customers find the site unavailable for any reason, it could eventually result in a bad reputation and loss of clientele.
With Host.co.in though, no issues related to uptime were faced. I’m not claiming that it’s absolutely top-notch; given to the fact that the servers sometimes tend to shut down due to some fault.
However, what surprises me is that the team is always capable of resolving any issue within minutes. Suffice to say, with Host.co.in your site will never be down for long.
3. 24×7 Support
Host.co.in has an excellent support team that can be reached anytime via live chat or support ticket system. In my experience, they proved themselves to be very helpful and quick to respond. They resolved every last problem that I had set up.
Host.co.in is one of the few Indian Web Hosting that offers full 24/7 phone, live chat, and email support. I have found their support department to be very quick to solve issues, especially when it comes to handling site-specific issues or anything other than answering generic tech queries.
4- Free Migration and SSL certificate
After being hosted with Host.co.in, you get two merits absolutely free of cost; migration and SSL certificate. You no longer have to pay extra for such necessary features. They are already included in your hosting package.
Along with the Migration, you received free unlimited SSL certificates. It was comforting to know that Host.co.in realizes the importance of SSL and it enabled me to save a lot of money at the same time. It’s really a win-win situation for the customer.
Price:
Host.co.in proudly claims themselves as one of the most cost-effective web hosting providers on the whole market. And to be fair, they do a pretty good job of keeping that claim factual.
Something that makes Host.co.in unique as a web hosting service is that their prices are displayed clearly and openly on its website for their visitor. I think Host.co.in deserves the praise for doing this. In fact, on most screen resolutions and layouts, you can actually see their plan pricing without even scrolling down on the page! Additionally, their features are laid out clearly for potential customers to read and see if it’s given below plans are right for them.
- VPS Hosting – ₹ 999/Mo
- Cloud Hosting– ₹ 2320/Mo
- Managed Shared Hosting – ₹ 299/Mo
- WordPress Hosting: ₹ 99/Mo

Conclusion:
Coming across an Indian web host which offers remarkable services is very rare these days. You either find an expensive company with top-notch quality or one that is overly cheap; never both at the same time.
Indian providers tend to compromise the performance in order to lure more customers as most people usually run after cheap products. I, on the other hand, cannot compromise. Host.co.in is excellent in terms of uptime and support and it’s built on enterprise-grade hardware. Also, you get many benefits such as migration, and much more free of cost.
I strongly suggest Host.co.in is worth being hosted with.
