Hosting Payment Problems in India

If you are reading this post you must have encountered an error during checkout on the hosting provider website like ” Error- Your Card is Declined”, ” Payment Failed” etc.

The main reason behind the problem is caused by Indian banks as they do not provide an International debit card to most of their customer. 80% of users in India have a normal Debit card that can not be used to do cross-border transactions means they can not pay outside of India.

Another big problem came after the application of IGST by the Indian Gov on all types of services offered by any brand outside of India according to which they have to pay 18% to local GOV which resulted in the increase of price and even many hosting providers shut down their services in India like site ground.

5. Godaddy India (Never Buy)

I will personally not recommend you to go with GoDaddy in any condition when you have the choice of reputed hosting providers like Bluehost hostinger and HostGator. The only reason of not recommending them is due too poor service and bad hosting performance in last few years.

Their 80% customers are not happy with their hosting Quality, I have their 10 Year Plan but I am not using it due to slow loading and too much down time.

It will be better for you and your website to go with Hostinger, Bluehost or Hostgator if you do not want to regret on your investment.

Conclusion on Best Indian Hosting with Indian Payment like UPI, Phone Pay etc.

In the last, I will recommend you to go with Any of above-mentioned hosting except GoDaddy as per your budget and requirement. All of them have one or more Indian Payment Methods like UPI, Rupay card, Wallets etc. If you ask me to choose from any of them, I will personally love to have Hostinger or Bluehost Plan.

Note:- Another thing you must remember while choosing to host is to go with a higher plan except for starter of any provider.
