The exact process, tools and scoring weights behind every ranking on this site.
We purchase the same plan a regular customer would, on the same pricing tier we recommend, rather than requesting a free press account.
A standardised WordPress installation with common plugins is deployed on each host so page-load results are comparable across providers.
We measure Time to First Byte and full page load from Indian test locations, then monitor uptime continuously over a multi-week period.
We open real support tickets and live chats with genuine questions, timing first response and resolution quality.
Each provider is scored against our weighted criteria below, and every listed price is manually verified against the provider's live pricing page.
Every provider's /5 editor score is a weighted average across five categories.
Used to benchmark load times and Core Web Vitals on each test site.
Continuous uptime monitoring across a multi-week testing window per provider.
Simulated traffic spikes to see how each plan handles concurrent visitors.
Direct comparison against each provider's live checkout page, rechecked on a rolling schedule.
Hosting changes constantly. Prices increase, data centres are added, support quality changes and infrastructure improves. Every provider featured on Best Cloud Hosting India is re-tested on a rolling basis, with pricing reviewed monthly and performance benchmarks refreshed throughout the year.
