Indian alternatives to Render
How to choose a Render alternative
- Check the data centre location. A site served from Mumbai or Chennai will feel meaningfully faster to Indian visitors than one served from the US, and that difference shows up in bounce rate.
- Read the renewal price, not the sign-up price. Introductory hosting discounts are steep and the renewal is frequently three times the first-year rate.
- Check what happens when you outgrow shared hosting. A provider with a clean upgrade path to VPS or cloud saves you a migration you will otherwise do at the worst possible moment.
