Tools we actually use

Hosting, domains and creator tools for people starting a website or online business in India — each one with its downsides listed too.

In full honesty: the links on this page are affiliate links. If you buy, we may earn a commission — you don’t pay a rupee extra. The order is what we genuinely think is best, not what pays most.

🌐 Web Hosting

If you're starting your own website, blog, or online shop, hosting is the first cost you'll hit. We've used all of these ourselves — igbeats itself runs on one of them.

Starting a new blog or website? Follow this order

People usually do it backwards and waste money.

Pick the domain first

Short, memorable, .com or .in. Avoid hyphens and numbers.

Start with the smallest plan

The cheapest plan is enough to start. Upgrade when traffic grows.

Check the renewal price

A ₹149/mo plan can renew at several times that. Read the renewal rate before checkout.

Untick the add-ons

Auto-ticked extras at checkout are rarely needed on day one.
