Tools we actually use

These aren't just products — they're the things people actually use to get started. Each one comes with its downsides listed too, because no tool is without flaws.

In full honesty: the links on this page are affiliate links. If you buy one of these, we earn a commission — you don't pay a single rupee extra. That's how this site stays free to run. But the order here is what we genuinely think is best, not whatever pays the most. If we don't rate a tool, it simply isn't on this page.

Starting a new blog or website? Follow this order

People usually do it backwards and end up wasting money. Here's the right order.

1

Think about the domain first

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

2

Pick the smallest hosting plan

The cheapest plan is enough to start. You can upgrade once traffic picks up — buying a big plan on day one just wastes money.

3

Check the renewal price

A ₹149/mo plan can jump to ₹400/mo in year three. Always read the renewal rate before checkout.

4

Uncheck the add-ons

At checkout, add-ons like site-lock, backup, and SEO tools get auto-ticked. Remove all of them — you don't need them.

New tools and deals straight to your inbox

When a tool has a genuinely good deal, we let you know. One email a week, that's it.
