For small businesses
Web hosting for small businesses in India
A professional website and email on your own domain, without paying for server capacity you will not use. Here is what a small business actually needs from hosting, and which ODHOST plan covers it.
What a small business needs
Email on your domain
info@yourbusiness.in looks more credible than a free webmail address on an invoice, a visiting card or a GST registration.
HTTPS on every page
Browsers label sites without SSL "Not secure", which puts off customers before they read anything. SSL is included.
Predictable cost
Monthly billing in rupees with the same price on renewal, so hosting is a line item, not a surprise.
Someone to ask
Support by ticket from your client area and by phone, from a team based in India.

A website and email on one bill
Every ODHOST shared plan includes mailboxes on your domain. A ten person business on Boost can give every employee an address and still have shared addresses such as sales@ and accounts@, all within the plan price. Mailboxes share the plan storage with your website, which is plenty for typical business email.
If your team relies heavily on shared calendars and very large mailboxes, a dedicated email suite may suit you better. You can keep your website on ODHOST and point email elsewhere; our business email guide explains both options.
Thinking about cost over three years
Hosting prices in India are often advertised for a 36 or 48 month prepaid term and renew at a higher rate. When comparing, add up what you would pay over three years, including renewals and taxes. ODHOST Boost is ₹2,388 a year at current rates, every year, with no multi year commitment needed.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Short, straight answers. If yours is not here, ask us before you order.
Which plan should a small business choose?
If you need one website and fewer than five mailboxes, Spark. Most businesses with a small team are better served by Boost. The plan finder can help.
Do I get a GST invoice?
Invoices are issued in the ODHOST client area. Applicable taxes are shown at checkout. If you need specific details on your invoice, ask support before you order. Background: GST on web hosting.
Can someone else build my site on this hosting?
Yes. You can give your developer control panel access or a separate FTP account. ODHOST is a unit of Nishita Solutions, which also builds websites, if you need a builder.
Is my data stored in India?
ODHOST VPS and dedicated servers are located in India. The location of shared hosting servers is not currently published; ask support if data location is a requirement for you.
