Get your website online without paying for resources you don't need. ActiveServers' affordable hosting plans start at ₹51 per month and include NVMe storage, a free SSL certificate and free migration from your current host on Linux or Windows, whichever your website needs.
Built for personal websites, blogs, portfolios and small businesses that want reliable hosting on an Indian data center, with a clear path to upgrade as traffic grows.
All specifications below were pulled directly from the live Linux Hosting and Windows Hosting pages on activeservers.in. Prices shown are the current promotional first-term rates displayed on-page; renewal pricing is not published on the source pages and must be confirmed before this section goes live (see the verification flag beneath each table).
The Basic plan (500 MB NVMe, 1 website, no database) is enough for a static personal site or a simple portfolio that doesn't need a content management system with a database backend. If you plan to run WordPress, you'll need a database, so move up to Advanced.
Most blogging platforms, including WordPress, need a MySQL database. The Advanced plan (10 GB NVMe on Linux, 5 database slots) gives a new blog room to add images and posts for a year or more before an upgrade is needed.
A small business site with a handful of pages, a contact form and light traffic fits comfortably on Advanced or Professional, depending on whether you need to host more than one website (for example, a main site plus a landing page) under one account.
For a startup, cost control and the ability to upgrade without downtime matter more than raw resources on day one. Start on the lowest plan that supports your CMS and move up only when you hit a resource limit ActiveServers' plans are structured so you can upgrade rather than having to migrate to a new provider.
WordPress requires PHP and a MySQL database. Any Linux plan from Advanced upward meets this requirement; the Basic Linux plan does not, since it ships with no database.
The Professional Linux plan supports multiple websites on the same account (the exact number needs confirmation see the pricing table flag above). If you need to host more sites than your plan allows, each additional site typically requires an upgrade rather than being added individually.
When your website consistently uses most of its allotted storage or bandwidth, when a single database is no longer enough, or when your site needs dedicated resources instead of a shared pool, that's the signal to move from shared hosting to VPS hosting. See the shared hosting vs VPS section below.
The advertised price on a hosting plan is only one part of the real cost. A genuinely affordable hosting plan should be judged on the full picture: the introductory price, the renewal price after the first term, the actual storage and bandwidth you receive, whether SSL and backups are included or sold separately, how support is delivered, where the server is physically located, and how easy it is to upgrade later.
The cheapest headline price on the market is not automatically the best value. A plan priced lower than ActiveServers' but without free SSL, without a clear migration path, or with a steep, undisclosed renewal price can end up costing more in money or in lost time over a year of ownership.
A low price does not have to mean cut corners. Every ActiveServers Linux and Windows shared hosting plan, including the entry-level Basic tier, includes:
What scales up as you move from Basic to Professional is capacity storage, bandwidth, number of websites and number of databases not the presence or absence of these core protections.
Linux hosting is the right fit for the large majority of websites, including anything built on PHP and MySQL which covers WordPress, most other open-source CMS platforms, and most custom PHP applications.
Windows hosting is the right fit specifically if your site or application depends on Microsoft technologies: ASP.NET, ASP.NET Core, or Microsoft SQL Server. If a developer has told you your site "needs .NET" or "needs MSSQL," that's your answer.
Neither platform is universally "better" the decision should follow the technology your website is actually built on, not a general preference. If you're not sure, WordPress and most beginner website builders run on Linux.
Shared hosting, including every plan on this page, is appropriate for:
VPS is not automatically a better product it is a different tier of infrastructure suited to different requirements. Most websites never need to make this move, and those that do usually see the signs first as recurring resource limits on shared hosting rather than a fixed traffic number.
If most of your visitors are in India, hosting on a server located in India can shorten the physical distance your data travels, which is one factor in page load time for that audience. It also typically means support staff working in Indian business hours and time zones, and billing set up for Indian payment methods.
An Indian server location does not, on its own, guarantee a higher ranking in Google server location is one of many technical factors search engines and users weigh, alongside page speed, content quality and mobile usability.
Free hosting can be a reasonable way to experiment with a hobby project, but it comes with trade-offs that matter as soon as a website needs to be taken seriously: limited or no control over your own domain, hosting-provider branding or ads inserted into your pages, minimal storage and bandwidth, little to no customer support, no guaranteed backups, and restrictions on the software you're allowed to run.
Paid hosting even an affordable plan at ₹51 a month gives you your own domain without forced branding, a defined resource allocation you control, backups, support you can actually reach, and room to install the CMS or application your site needs.
Free hosting can work for a short-lived test or a learning project. Anyone building a website meant to represent a business, a portfolio, or a brand should be on paid hosting from the start.
Rather than a general claim of being "the best" or "the fastest," here is what's verifiably true about ActiveServers' affordable hosting plans at the time of writing:

Cheap or affordable web hosting is a hosting plan priced for smaller resource needs typically limited storage, bandwidth and website count compared to premium tiers built for personal sites, blogs, portfolios and small businesses rather than high-traffic or enterprise workloads.
It can be, as long as the plan includes the essentials: free SSL, backups, adequate support, and a clear upgrade path. Check the resource limits against what your specific site needs before buying on price alone.
For a simple site without a database, the Basic Linux or Windows plan is enough. If you're using WordPress or any CMS that needs a database, start with the Advanced plan instead, since Basic ships with no database.
Neither is universally better. Choose Linux for PHP/MySQL sites and most CMS platforms including WordPress. Choose Windows only if your site specifically needs ASP.NET, ASP.NET Core or Microsoft SQL Server.
Yes. Free SSL is included on every Linux and Windows shared hosting plan listed on this page, from Basic through Professional.
Yes, free migration is included with every plan on this page. See the migration section above for what's confirmed and what's still pending confirmation from the technical team.
Yes. ActiveServers' shared hosting plans are designed to be upgraded as your website grows, and the same account structure extends up to VPS hosting if you eventually need dedicated resources.
Yes, you can move from shared hosting to VPS, or between VPS sizes, without needing to migrate to a new provider. Our team handles the resource upgrade on your existing account.
Yes, on Linux hosting plans that include a database (Advanced and Professional). ActiveServers also offers a dedicated WordPress Hosting product confirm with the team which is the better fit for a given customer before recommending one over the other.
Generally, no not on the entry-level Basic plan. E-commerce sites need a database, reliable backups, and typically more storage and processing headroom than a Basic shared hosting plan provides. Talk to ActiveServers' team about the right product for a store before committing to the cheapest available plan.
You can upgrade to a higher shared hosting tier first. If you consistently need dedicated resources, root access, or specialized software, the next step is VPS hosting.
Yes, based on the current FAQ on ActiveServers' live hosting pages backups are taken weekly or monthly and retained for up to two weeks, with restore available from the panel or by support request. The exact frequency per plan is flagged for confirmation elsewhere in this document.
Shared hosting places your website on a server alongside other customers' sites, sharing resources, at a lower price. VPS hosting gives you a dedicated slice of a server's resources and more control, at a higher price appropriate once your site's traffic or software needs outgrow shared hosting.
Storage, bandwidth, database and email limits, whether SSL and backups are included, support channels and response time, migration cost, renewal pricing, upgrade path, data center location, and the refund policy. See the full checklist above.
