The things other hosts sell you separately

This list does not change between Starter and Business. What changes is how much of the server you get.

Our own CDN, in 12 cities

A ready copy of your pages sits at the location nearest each visitor. Ours, not resold, included on every plan, and no per-gigabyte bill on the traffic it serves.

A panel built for WordPress

Install a site, open the file manager, add a mailbox, switch PHP version, take a backup. It does what WordPress needs and nothing it does not.

One click WP dashboard login

Sign into any of your WordPress sites from the panel. No shared admin account, no password to keep somewhere, and no way for it to be reused if a laptop is lost.

Staging with a rollback

Copy the live site, break it safely, publish it over the real one. If the publish goes wrong, one click puts the old site back exactly as it was.

Multi-level caching

A cached page is served in milliseconds without starting PHP at all. A caching plugin has to boot WordPress before it can do anything, which costs 20–40 ms every time.

SSL, issued and renewed for you

Let's Encrypt on every domain and subdomain, issued the day DNS points here. Nothing to buy, nothing to renew, nothing to forget.

Malware scanning, every night

Every account, at an hour you pick. Anything found is quarantined rather than deleted, so a false positive costs you a message to support and never a file.

Nightly backups you restore yourself

Every site, every night. Restore any of them from the panel at 2am without opening a ticket and waiting for somebody to wake up.

Migration, done by us

Send us the old host's login or upload a backup. We rebuild the site here, you check it on a temporary address, and only then do you change DNS.

Mailboxes on your own domain

Real IMAP mailboxes with webmail, on the domain the site runs on. Not a forwarder to a free account.

Every number, in one place

Every number the plan gives you, including the ones most hosts leave off the page.

Why this and not the ₹49 one

Cheap hosting is cheap because of who else is on the server

There is nothing clever about a low price. The question is how many other websites are sharing the machine that has to answer for yours.

We stop selling a server before it fills

There is a hard cap on how many websites go on a node. When it is reached we stop selling that node and buy the next one. That is the whole product — everything else on this page only works because of it.

Your limits are real

Memory, CPU and disk throughput are cgroup limits and a real disk quota, per account. They are not a fair-use paragraph somebody reads out to you after your site slows down.

The speed is in the server, not in a plugin

Page cache in the web server, object cache on Redis, OPcache held in memory and NVMe underneath all of it. A cached page never starts PHP, so it is not competing with anything else your site is doing.

The renewal price is the sign-up price

No introductory rate. No 2x on the second year. If you can afford it today you can afford it next year, and we would rather have you then.

Moving in

We move your website. You stay online while we do it.

Two ways in, both free, and neither one takes your site offline. The only thing you are choosing is who does the work.

Most sites inside 24 hours

  1. You

    Pick a plan

    Minutes

    You choose a plan, add the domain name, choose a data centre location and purchase the plan. Then create a migration request from the control panel providing some details of the website, and we will migrate it for you while your website stays entirely live.

  2. Us

    We move your site here

    Inside 24 hours

    Based on the login details or backup files you gave us, we move your website from your old host to HostCrafter — and in this entire process your website stays entirely online and live.

  3. You

    Check it, then change the DNS

    When you say

    After the migration is completed we will let you know. Before changing the DNS we suggest you check your migrated website using the temp URL, and if everything works then change the DNS. There are three ways to connect your domain: your existing DNS service like Cloudflare, our nameservers, or the CNAME given in the control panel — which is how you use our CDN while staying on Cloudflare.

We take care of your website. Tell us if your site is broken or has malware in it and we will fix it as part of the migration process — we handle themes, plugins and all kinds of technical WordPress things.

No ticket, no queue

  1. You

    Take a backup, or use an existing one

    Where you are now

    Take a backup of your site using any of the plugins — UpdraftPlus, All-in-One WP Migration, Duplicator, BackWPup — or just a zip of the files and an SQL export.

  2. You

    Open Quick Migration from the control panel

    1–2 minutes

    From the control panel click Quick Migration, select or add the domain you want to migrate, then select the type of backup you are holding. Upload the backup file — .zip, .tar, .tar.gz, .tgz, .gz, .sql, .sql.gz, .wpress and .daf are all accepted — and click Migrate. It usually takes 1–2 minutes, and longer for larger sites.

  3. You

    Change the DNS

    When you say

    Once the migration is done, before changing the DNS we suggest you check the website using the temp URL. If everything works, you have one last job: change the DNS. For Cloudflare or your existing DNS provider use the IP or the CNAME we give you, or you can use our nameservers instead.

If it stops halfway, tell us in live chat and we will help you complete it.

There is a person here, and they know WordPress

Not a call centre reading a script. Whoever answers you can also log into the server your site is on. English or Hindi.

Questions

WordPress hosting questions

The ones people ask on chat before they buy.

How many websites can I actually run on the Starter plan?

One. We count real websites, and a staging copy uses a slot while it exists — a staging site is a second full WordPress install with its own files and database, so pretending it is free would just mean selling you a server twice. Subdomains do not count.

Is 15 GB enough?

For most sites, comfortably. A fresh WordPress install is about 111 MB and a real site with a few hundred images usually lands between 500 MB and 2 GB. If you are running a photography portfolio or years of podcast files, look at Growth instead.

What happens if I go over the bandwidth?

We get in touch. We do not switch your website off over a spike, and we do not bill you a surprise. If the traffic is genuinely your new normal we will talk about the next plan up.

Do I get the object cache on every plan?

The object cache is on Growth and Business. Starter gets multi-level caching, which is the bigger win for a normal WordPress site — a cached page is served in milliseconds without starting PHP, and the object cache only helps once PHP is already running.

Can I move a site here from a host that has locked me out?

Usually yes. If you can get any kind of backup out of them — a plugin export, a database dump, an FTP copy — we can rebuild the site from it. Send us what you have and we will tell you honestly whether it is enough before you pay.

What PHP version do I get?

8.3 by default, and you can put any individual website on 8.1, 8.2 or 8.4 from the panel. Nothing older, because everything before 8.1 stopped getting security fixes and running it on a shared machine puts other people at risk.

Do you support WooCommerce on these plans?

A small shop will run, but you would be better off on the WooCommerce plans. Cart, checkout and My Account can never be page-cached, so every one of those hits runs PHP — and those plans are built with the workers and the object cache that needs.

Is there a setup fee?

No. Nor a migration fee, an SSL fee, a backup fee or a fee for asking us something.

Move your WordPress site across free

We do the work, your old host keeps serving visitors until you are happy, and you have seven days to change your mind afterwards.
